Take a brisk walk every morning and evening, more if you can.

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Losing about a pound a day does not sound like the safest or healthiest plan. Obviously increasing physical activity, ie: cardio and weight training will have an impact. Weight training can increase your metabolism up to 9%. Cut out all soda as well as caffeine and increase your water consumption. I think you could lose at least 12-15 pounds in this time frame, and people will definitely notice. Good luck reaching your goal and I hope I helped a little.

I don't know if this will work, but you could try it.

Go for at least a 2 mile jog every morning, eat 8 small meals throughout the day. Continuously drink water. And try and do some exercising as well. Good luck.

Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

Prescription diet pills, drink only water, daily cardio workout, and substitute slim fast shake for 2 meals, 1 small healthly meal + 2 snacks like popcorn or fruit...that should do it

That's not safe. There will be some side effects. Max. should be 2.5 lbs per week. See a doctor 1st. However, walking, no soda, no electronics, and manual labor might do it.
