The old "eat less, move more" method is what works. You have to burn more calories than you consume, so lowering intake and increasing activity will help you lose unwanted pounds. This can be just as easy as 20-30 minutes of cardio a day. It's not that hard.

Well diet and exercise are the obvious answers. However some people don't know exactly what they should be eating or how to exercise so i will expand on that a bit. Depending on how heavy you are determines the amount of calories you should eat. Dont go below 1200 and dont go above say, about 1800 calories. A good secret to dieting is to eat filler foods. If you look at a pickle container you will notice there are no calories, and since pickles are made from cucumbers that means cucumbers are virtually calorie free and a good snack food. Check other food labels to find the foods low in calories. Keep track of the amount of fat and carbs and protein you eat. However many calories you eat should determine the amount of these different macronutrients. carbs and protein both have four calories per gram and fat has nine. Your protein/carb/fat ration should be 40%-40%-20%. Running/jogging is great cardiovascular exercise and is good for burning calories. You may also want to consider light resistance training to put some muscle in place of the fat you will lose. Get a scale and weigh yourself once per week, dont do it anymore so u dont discourage yourself. You Should expect a weight loss of about 1-2 lbs. per week. Anymore than that is not healthy. White meats such as turkey, fish and chicken breasts are good for you. Make sure to eat plenty of vegtables such as brocolli, spinach, lettuce because they are low in calories. Also, watch your salt intake because that promotes water retention and extra weight.

I would suggest a 50 carb diet or the 1200 calorie diet and jog the beach or run a mile or even get a gym membership! Do nightly sittups and crunches! I would also suggest a v-up and if you have your own mini-gym in your house or even dumbells I would suggest 15 reps on the dumbells! If you have a bench press I would suggest to start off with ten reps. If that is to easy for you then go 15 reps and so forth.

The best thing to get in shape is a healthy diet (read every nutrition label on everything you eat) , and I recommend walking, jogging, or running first thing in the morning before you eat (but I drink water before I go). Those two basic things will tone you and make you feel better.

You need to have a healthy diet full of fruits and veggies as for meats you are better with out them in the long run. Exercise as much as you can and if you have to make the time for it set aside a specific time during the day to exercise not right before bed because exercising will give you more energy making it hard to sleep. Good Luck

It just depends on what type of shape you want to get into. But lowering your caloric intake while increasing your physical activity is almost always the method of choice.
