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:)

Focus on being active - physical activity burns calories. Look at your diet and take out the stuff that has empty calories (like soda or french fries). Eat foods that provide nutrition to your body and be aware of portion sizes: http://win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/just_enough.htm
Losing 2lbs. a week is safe. Losing any more than that will probably result in gaining the weight you loss and possibly more once you're done with your diet.
Think about making these activity and dietary changes a lifestyle instead of just a one time thing. Then you'll be able keep the weight off that you lost and maintain being healthy.

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 and a sample meal plan:

Tennis will support you transition to wasting extra weight. Look at it as a motivator. It does not support you shed all of the fats out of your frame but it surely does allow you to do tougher workout routines someday. You'll detect that you'll be able to lose two-three kilos every week should you play four-five occasions every week (for me that the way it was once) with out exchanging my nutrition. It makes you more potent bit by bit so as to begin doing tougher workout routines. Playing tennis on my own may not shed fats in every single place your frame so you continue to need to positioned time into force coaching and jogging in conjunction with gambling tennis should you particularly wish to do away with that fats.

eat moderate portions enough to satisfy not to make you full. also engage in more physical activities. gaining muscle is also a good idea because it increases your metabolic rate which helps you use more of the food you eat
