Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

a good way to lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off is to work out regularly about 3-5 times a week for about an hour each time. Doing cardio is great, like running but weights can be equally as good, push-ups and sit-ups. i do a routine of abs for about 15 min a day and it gives you a good burn, switch between like sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts etc.
also eat right, cut out any snack food. eat smaller meals 4 times a day instead of 3 large meals. making sure you are drinking a gallon of water a day. it is amazing what water can do.
good luck

One pound of fat is 3500 calories. Now estimate your daily caloric needs Go Here http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
Then set up a balanced diet where as you burn more than you take in. I eat about 1700 cal a day (Approx 1100 cal deficit daily) every three days approx I lose about a pound. (If im good) you can decrease your caloric intake or burn more i.e exercise more. Remeber eat good nutient dense food and drink water.
