Answer 1

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 2

EAT BREAKFAST!!!!

there is an old saying,

eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper

Big Breakfast, medium lunch small dinner

Breakfast= fruit, 3 eggs whites, 1 piece of whole wheat whole grain light toast, milk or orange juice, coffee if you want with skim milk and 1 splenda (best artificial sugar)

lunch= turkey sandwich with a very little bit of light mayo or mustard (russian dressing is out) lettuce tomato, pickles, all the veggies you want on it!, 1 piece of fiber filled fruits (apple , anything with a skin) or nuts

dinner- grilled or baked chicken, fish (can be very lightly breaded with lemon and pepper, if it is salmon you should go with cajun spice on it!), or turkey cutlet, on a salad with a non-creamy dressing (little or none of any dressing at all), one piece of whole wheat bread with margarine or light butter.

Snacks= lowfat crackers with cheese
fiber filled foods ( granola bars light ones only!!), apples, nuts, etc.
carrots, celery, or peppers in lowfat dip

try to eat 2 or less snacks a day, at most 3

drink water and green tea (with 1 splenda or unsweetened)
you can crystal light to water

staying hydrated speeds up metabolism

green tea and green tea supplements also speed up metabolism

excersize- 1 hour, intense cardio 6 days a week, strength or resistance training, 1 day of low intensity cardio a week

good luck, don't try to lose the weight too fast, it will only cause loss of muscle and water, lose it slower and it will be all fat ( don't slow down wight loss on purpose though)

Once again good luck!

Remember, you can do this, I'm rooting for ya!!!!

Answer 3

Spend your free time in the weight room preferably on the treadmill. Eat smaller porportions of what you normally eat except things like cookies, cakes, etc. (Avoid them!!!) Skipping lunch is not a bad idea either. If you absolutely need snacks outside of you meals, try lowfat yogurt. Only drink water!!!!
