You should always aim to make a lifestyle change and a lifetime commitment to losing weight. If you set yourself unrealistic goals it'll never work. I have written a guideline of everything I tell my clients to do which actually works! (I am a personal trainer). Follow this and you will get down to a healthy weight. It may take a few months or it may take a year but start right now!!!!
You should aim to do 40-60minutes of weight training 4 times a week and add in a couple of walks/jogs in between. Get some dumbells (3-5kgs) and do 3 sets of 6-8 exercises x 15reps. For example:
15 x chest press (With weights)
15 x Lunges (With weights)
15 x Pushups
15 x Squats (With weights)
15 x Bicep Curls (With weights)
15 x Burpees
(Do all of the above 3 times)
Then do crunches, some oblique twists and transverse holds (plank ) for abs and core stability.
Aim to do weights for 40minutes 3-4 times a week. Make sure you give your muscles a rest in between. Go for runs on the days you dont do weights (Aim for atleast 30 minutes of running). It has been proven in many studies that the best way to lose fat is to weight train. Every pound of muscle you gain increases your metabolism which burns more calories. Weight training also has an after burn effect which means that more calories are burned throughout the day whereas doing only cardio will only burn fat during your workout time. So weight train weight train weight train!!!!! This is the best advice I can give to everyone. If you are a woman you will not get bulky as you do not have enough testosterone in your body to build big muscles. You will just turn your body into a slim, lean, toned fat burning machine!!! Men will definitely build muscle mass depending on the amount they lift!
Also never ever give yourself a time limit. Make a commitment to do this the rest of your life. Too many people go on training/dieting benders for a couple of weeks then give up once they hit their goal. Doing everything I reccomended will give you awesome reults but there is no miracle quick fix to losing weight. Believe me I have tried everything! Losing weight quickly is unhealthy, unachieveable and never easily maintained. Although it would be nice to click our fingers and make the fat go away it'll never happen!
Drink looooaaaadddsss of water. Dont drink nothing. Water is your best friend when losing weight as it fills you up, reduces your appetite and keeps you hydrated.
For your food intake eat loads of vegetables, fruit, nuts, chicken, fish, brown rice, brown bread, lentils. Cut out all highly processed high carbohydrate sugary foods. Also try to avoid foods high in saturated fat. Try not to go over about 1500calories. Always go for low G.I!
I hope this helps anyone who is trying to lose weight. Believe me weights are a girls (and guys) best friend :)

Eat smaller portions of food that takes LONGER to digest.
Wheat Bread
Peanut Butter
Beans (Protein and fiber)
Then work out everyday, no excuses.
Find a bodypart to make look good really fast. Try the delts, so you can wear sleveless shirts. Work that for 2 weeks straight, also do cardio for at least 15 mins a day.
Take a weight loss supplement to speed up the process, it really works.
With a supplement you can lose 6-9 lbs a month, without it you're expected to lose around 2.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.
You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.
It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.

Eat when you are hungry, drink when thirsty, sleep when you need to.
