No fast and easy diets. Reduce your calorie intake and increase your activity. Walk a mile a day. Don' eat everything on your plate. Don't take seconds of anything. Drink lots of water. Use stairs not elevators. Park at the far ends of parking lots. Walk to work, if possible, on good days. ( 20-30 minutes at 3 mph on the treadmill 3x per week helps a lot.). (Its healthy to lose 2-3 lbs a week)

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

Any diet or pills and even exercise will not do any good for a week because for the first week or so you are anyway only losing water weight. its after a few weeks when you actually began losing fat and see a difference in the way you look.

On your break and lunch go walking. Either in the morning or at night do cardio for 45-60 minutes a night for 5-6 days a week.

you need to look at it as a way to live your life not as a quick fix to look good for one night! a healthy balanced diet and at least 30min a day exercise will do it.. just have patience and think of the long term benefits
