Here's the first thing you need to know.... it is not going to be easy. Don't fall for anything that says you can eat whatever you want and not excercise and lose weight. It won't work!
Don't do a fad diet... the weight and some will come back on eventually.
You need to make a lifestyle change and set realistic goals.
Here are just a few simple guidelines that have and are continuing to help me:
Eat healthy food
Cook at home so that you know exactly what is going in and so you can control the portions.
If you have to eat out look at the nutritional information before leaving or ask at the restaurant.
Eat smaller portions but more frequently
Drink plenty of water... cutting out soda and other sugary drinks can make a huge difference.
I try to have a cut off time for me to eat. Usually no later then seven
Don't deprive yourself of things that you are craving... try and find substitutes... like instead of ice cream have non fat frozen yogurt.
Make excercise apart of your routine
Have a good support group
Write down what you eat
And remember if you mess up don't get discouraged just get back on it.
Just for your info weight watchers is a great program and is easy to follow
Hope this helps!!!! You can do it!!!

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurities come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://diet4cleansing.com

Fresh fruits and veggies, nothing fried, nothing out of a can, high-protein, high-fiber, low-cal, low-fat, low-carb foods, portion control and a vigorous exercise regimen.
Normal, healthy weight loss is only 2 pounds per week, which would come out to about 16 pounds in two months. Weight can be taken off faster, but make sure you have a doctor monitoring you. Even with the right foods and exercise, you can overdo it.
Whatever you do, don't try to starve the weight off. It will put your body into starvation mode and your body will cling to every fat cell it's got. And even if it worked - losing that much weight that fast without exercise (cardio and toning) will leave you with globs of skin drooping from your arms, abdomen and thighs. Talk about gross.
