control your food portions
exercise regularly (challenge a friend to do it with you!!)

these are the key components!

Answer 2

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 thats 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, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 3

All you need to do is watch what you eat. Depending on your height you should propably eat about 1200 calories a day... but that also depends on your activity level. If you are not doing any activities than you should only eat about 750 calories and those should be mostly fruit and veggies. You can eat meat but you should stay with lean chicken breast. You can eat bread just only eat one piece a day. And try very hard to get at least 30 min. of activity a day.

Answer 4

I agree with a previous answer given to drink plenty of water
exercise regularly and hard (make the time count)
along with watch the portions of what you eat, watch what you eat. Carrots are a much better snack than cookies. You can eat tons of carrots which are crunchy and help with the munchies and they are not many calories.
I just ended a diet contest and lost 21 lbs doing these things.

Answer 6

the problem with losing weight is that we come to expect it to happen to quickly, lose our motivation, then resume eating like a fool again.

your weight gain happened over time. good weight loss mgmt takes time, discipline, and proper eating.

when i want to lose say 5 or 10 pounds within a month or so, i set myself a calorie intake level then eat anything i want while not exceeding that calorie level. for me it goes like this:
im 62. my metabolic needs have slowed down thus my basic daily caloric intake is less. i arbitrarily, but based on knowledge of age, metabolism, nutrition, and dietary charts, chose 1500 calories per day. if i have a 10oz steak and 8oz baked potato with butter and sourcream then i just blew my whole daily limit, and am then reduced to celery, yogurt, water, and coffee. but i did get to eat good that day. next day i have a peanut butter sandwich, 6 ozs milk, cup of coffee thats about 300 cals, lunch an apple, orange, etc, tuna fish salad or sandwhich or something like that, another 400 or 500 cals, dinner perhaps a very lo cal small serving TV dinner, and my 1500 cals are consumed. now that may sound in the extreme but really it isnt for someone my age and activity.

now say you are 35 then your daily metabolic intake just to stay alive and maintain a healthy decent body would be about 2000 to 2200 calories assuming you didnt do much. but now say our 35 year old leads a active lifestyle with a good days work at the office, or driving truck or something, shoots a few baskets occassionally, or does some gardening, dusts, vacuums, works on a hobby, or you know just basic living. the caloric intake would approach something like 3000 or 3500 cals. so if you dropped your intake to 2500 cals you could safely shed some weight over a few months.

for you: you need to look at your metabolic needs, an internet chart is easily available. find out what your lowest basal metabolic caloric intake should be. assuming you are not a major atheltic nut, or workaholic, add about 400 to 600 cals to the basal metabolic intake. then just manage your eating. eat anything you want but dont exceed the calories. let your body signal you. within the first couple of days if you feel like you are starving to the point of pain something is definetly not right. you may have a weak sensation of hunger, thats ok. drink water, or eat something with extremely low cals like raw oatmeal, or celery, or tomatoe, etc just to tide you over. the goal is to stay within your set reduced calories, unless you have to have a little extra to compensate for excessive hunger, or major activity.

next thing. stay off the scale - period. let your body signals be your guide. look in a mirror for detectable weight loss in the cheek or chin, watch your fingers, hands and wrists, if you are losing weight they'll start to appear thinner, and lastly listen to your clothing; are your tight fitting jeans not so tight, does your belt go to the next loophole, etc.

there is really much to this but i have given you some basic ability to seek out a plan for yourself. should you want to include exercise into your weight loss keep it a low impact aerobics, not more than 1 or 2 20 min sessions every other day and give yourself another 200 or 300 cals for that if you do it regularly.
