A pound of fat is 3500 calories, if you burn 1,000 calories per day or reduce your intake that much or both you should get there.

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism) dont count calories burned - the only thing you have to count is time doing cardio
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta 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:)

Eat 1800 calories a day. You must burn 3400 calories to lose one pound of fat. Walk 30-40 minute a day. You should burn about 100 calories.

It's free... and you can go into the "my fitness" section and put in the information for the treadmill, and it'll tell you how many calories you burn. And in the "My Nutrition" section, it'll tell you how many calories you need to consume each day (usually anywhere between 1200-1550 for women(well, that's mine...) and you can keep track of everything you eat, all of your excersises and calories burned... and they have lots of strength training exercises to go along with the cardio... and TONS of other great stuff.

Eat 2000 calories a day.
Excersize for an hour a day.
It works!
