find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

It depends on how much weight you have to lose. The more overweight you are, the easier it is to lose. The opposite is true as well... if you only have a little weight to lose, your body will fight you to hold onto it. Assuming you have considerable amount of weight to lose, you can probably lose three pounds per week in a healthy manner. Most doctors recommend a loss of 1-2 pounds per week to make maintaining easier and to minimize how much muscle is lost.
Good luck, just don't over do it!

1500 calories a day - walk or jog a couple of miles a day - that should get you close to 12 pounds.
