Start with baby steps toward improving your diet and exercise. Maybe you could limit certain foods, try to get more exercise, if you dont do any even walking is better than nothing. Or cut out between meal snacks. Then when you get into one good habit, start working on another one. Really, once you get into the habit of eating healthy, fattening foods just dont appeal any more. Dont make it too hard on yourself or you will fail, just one step at a time.

To lose weight, a person has to reduce the calorie intake by some amount by modifying their diet. A diet without sufficient nutrients will only increase the appetite of the person trying to lose weight. Since most people combine a diet with an exercise plan, additional nutrients are required for the growth of muscles required to increase the metabolic rate required for long term weight loss.

Exercise, and diet. Not dieting, but changing what you eat and how often you eat. Try to eat every three hours, small portions. It doesnt matter what you eat, as long as you get into the 3 hour routine. After a couple of weeks look at your food choices and try to modify to lower fat and carb, higher protien. Cardio everyday and weight lifting at least 3 days per week. www.self.com has some good suggestions too. Good luck!

You have to change you're lifestyle. Changing your diet is not an easy thing. Like anything in life, if you want it bad enough you have to work for it. It is a discipline that takes time to develop. Start watching what you eat. Choose healthy things to eat, stay away from fast food, eat a good salad instead with a low calorie or no calorie dressing with what you like in it(I like raw broccoli and ham and carrots in mine)and exercise daily. Start out by walking(try to start with 30 minutes a day) and gradually you will build stamina. Play basketball, do something physical you can handle.(I play basketball 30-45 mins. a day - EVERYDAY) Eventually you will cultivate a healthy lifestyle and become satisfied with who you are!

Losing weight is difficult. But here I am introducing you some tips to lose a small amount of weight in a healthy that that is also within a week.
Steps to losing weight fast
* Get a set of small hand weights, 3, 5 or 8 lbs.
* Do five to ten minutes of weight lifting for a half an hour after each meal. Lie on your back and slowly lift yourself up with weights in each hand. Do this daily for the full seven days.
* Before or after you take a bath or a shower each day, do five minutes of jogging in place, your weights in hand.
* Do not eat greasy foods. Drink only water and fruit juice. Eat a portion of vegetables at every meal.
* In the morning try to eat fruit. Do NOT dump heaps of sugar on your cereal.
* Follow this regimen for seven days and you will see results.
* Take time to cook, Make food look appealing; don't be afraid to try new things. If you're not sure how to prepare or eat things you can go on an online search engine (such as google) and look how recipes and how to eat things.
* It is a shown fact that one of the "weight loss tips" is not true, many of us believe that if we eat late at night the food turns directly into fat. This is only a myth, food is stored all day into fat, it has nothing to do with time. Make sure you eat a lot of protein, this is important because if you don't have enough protein in your diet you will lose muscle and not fat.(Muscle will be burned but not as much).And finally have fun with it! Make up a dance or jump rope to music, getting active doesn’t mean boot camp!
Quick tips
* Eat plenty of vegetables with each meal.
* Drink plenty of water
* Before buying any food, look for carbs, calories and sugar in the ingredients. You'll want to cut down on all three.

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate, and plan your diet carefully. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

Something to keep in mind...
Your body will burn more calories if you eat smaller meals more frequently. This is because your body burns calories to digest food.
A sample menu:
Meal #1- 1 cup of whole grain cereal such as cheerios, total, grape nuts flakes, or raisin bran with 1 cup low-fat milk, and 8 oz glass of 100 percent fruit juice
Meal #2- Half of a bagel with low-fat cream cheese, an apple, and 8oz (1 cup) of low-fat milk
Meal #3- 1 peice of whole wheat bread, 1 tablespoon of mayo., two slices of reduced-sodium ham, roast beef, or turkey, a slice or two of tomato, some lettuce, and some mustard, and 1 cup of low-fat milk
Meal #4- two handfuls of grapes, a hard-boiled egg with a teaspoon of sea salt, glass of water or glass of V-8 vegetable juice (not the V-8 twisters)
Meal #5- 1 cup of low-fat ice cream sweetened with Splenda
Meal #6- a banana or pear, one toasted whole wheat Eggo waffle with 1 tablespoon of Smart Balance Margarine enriched with omega 3, and a cup of green tea with no more than 1 tablespoon of honey
