Change your lifestyle (diet and exercise) and you will not only lose those pounds but keep them off as well.
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 is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 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:)

The best way to lose 50 pounds is for you to get rid of the junk food you're eating, become active by running, walking, lifting weights, playing sports, riding your bike and also making sure that you have the proper mindset to achieve the body you really want.
Really people make it seem like it's impossible but it really isn't.

(1) Set small, reasonable goals. (3-5 pounds/month is fine)
(2) Do some exercise. (walking is good)
(3) Officially allow yourself to cheat sometimes. (This will make you less neurotic about avoiding "junk foods", and you will actually be less likely to binge.)
