find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and that's how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried in lots of oil.
you can spoil yourself once in a while, of-course:)

You can but it will take time and there are no effective shortcuts.

Here is how:
Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber and your proteins should be lean. Fats should be sparing but concentrated in the omega 3's and omega 6's. This will provide a slow but constant stream of vital nutrients. Avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and candy.

Lift weights or perform power yoga because either of these will slightly increase your lean mass, which will burn extra calories 24 hours per day. This will increase your resting metabolic rate. Also, some cardio helps.

Use a measuring tape instead of a scale to measure your progress because it is more accurate than the scale.

Here is a sample workout, a healthy foods list, and a sample meal plan.

Just like you did not gain the weight over night you will not lose it over night. I was 5'3 220 pounds last July and now with a gym membership I weight 168. It helps to have a partner to go through it with you.

The first and foremost thing you should do is go to the doctor and tell him or her your concerns. They'll test your thyroid and other hormone levels first, and a few other things to make sure there isn't some underlying cause that needs treatment.

If all's well, then they can help you figure out what you should do. It's always best if you go to the doctor for these things.
