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 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:)

There are two things you need to do to look and feel great, and that is eat healthy and exercise.

Eating healthy- Eliminate all junk food like chips, candy, cookies, ect. Eat whole grains instead of white floured products, eat more fruits and vegetables, chose low fat dairy products, and have lean meats like chicken, fish, and turkey rather than ham, steak, and bologna. Drink only water and milk- no soda or fruit juices.

Exercise- Cardio is great for burning calories: I would recommend running because it is easy and convenient to do, but swimming, jump roping, walking, and bike riding are good too. You should also try to include some weight training to tone/build muscles.

Good luck :)

Eat salad for lunch and dinner every day..add seafood for meat like shrimp or imitation crab... but give your self a big healthy breakfast without bacon or sausage. Do about 50- to 100 crunches in the morning and drink plenty of water I have been doing this for 2 years now I am 28 and weigh 115lbs 5ft 6in...you will see a difference in two weeks I promise. Just don't binge when you get hungry...eat regular but healthy when it's time for a real meal...avoid fat and sugar at every cost...kick soda to the curb
