I try to get exercise every day -- my preferred method is to walk a couple of miles. Sometimes I walk to the store, sometimes it's to dinner and sometimes it's to a nearby park for a concert. However, some exercise is part of any successful weight-loss program.
The other thing I did was to quit eating a full lunch and switched to some carrots and an apple. It's tough and it requires willpower, but it worked for me. I lost 15 pounds in three months and have kept it off for two years. I eat a normal breakfast and dinner, including whatever deserts would normally have. Just by cutting out a big lunch, I lost weight.

I don't think dieting helps anywear near as much as excercise based on my personal experience, but to truly be successful you have to do both and do something you can stick with in the long run. Quick fixes don't work. Find a diet and an excercise program you can do FOREVER, not just for 3 months or 3 years, FOREVER. Then be patient and wait for the results. You have to push yourself. Good things don't come that easy.

roughly you need to eat in a way that you get all the nutrients and boost your metabolism. If you get all the nutrients, you will be less tempted to eat junk food. Lots of fibre helps kill appetite, example wheat bran cereal and other fibre foods(you don't need hoodia). I used to snack a lot, was 45 pounds overweight, now only 15 pounds overweight and coming down fast in just over 1.5 months. Once I exercised atleast 30 minutes 5 days a week(like going to work, you need to exercise) and stayed off junk foods like fruit juices(yes, fruit juices, believe it or not !) and ate more fruits, my body craved less food. A good rule of thumb is if you are eating three meals a day, and you still feel hungry, replace the portions you want to cut down on calories with handfuls of fruit instead instead of just cutting portions, they are much less calories than anything else I know, and supply the minerals you need to balance out your daily nutrient requirements ! Take a multivitamin every day.
Reduce your calorie intake to your target weight(pounds) times 10.9 but never cut off necessary nutrients like minimum daily fat, etc. as it leads to deficiency and increases appetite. Eat balanced in moderation and exercise 30 minutes a day atleast 5 out of 7 days, that will do the trick!

Here is something I tried. I did not eat any bread, milk, potatoes, rice, cereal, etc. for 10 days and I lost 14 lbs. I ate as much of anything else that I wanted, and still lost weight. You can't eat things with wheat or starches, and NO DAIRY. Eat a pound of bacon for supper if you want...YOU WILL STILL LOSE as long as you stay away from the ones I have listed. Try it, what have you got to lose?!

There is only one word to suggest: DISCIPLINE
I used to weigh 300 lbs. and have just reached my goal weight of 150 through Weight Watchers, weight training, cardio exercise and lots of DISCIPLINE!!!! You have to WANT to do this and for yourself only. I now teach a weight lifting class at a local gym called "BodyPump". See if you can find one in your area... go to www.bodypump.com for a class locator. It's the fastest way to get your body in shape and lots of fun.

replace juices and sodas with water. it's a simple fix that really shows results. also, try not to eat more than 2 servings of foods that have >150 Cal per serving at one time. stay away from most junk foods(especially the ones that taste good) AND hot pockets. they can kill a diet.

Hello, the first thing you should do is boost your metabolism. You eat 5 SMALL meals a day and then drink only water, water helps dissolve fat cells. Good luck and your weight does not determine how beautiful you are.
