Eat several (5-6) small portion meals a day, you will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.
(eat about every 2 hours)
You will lose an average of 2 - 3 lbs per week until you plateau to your ideal weight.
Meal suggestions:
piece of fruit
bowl of cereal (high fiber low sugar)
string cheese, summer sausage
cottage cheese/yogurt
tuna/turkey/ham sandwich (lettuce, tomatoe)
pizza
soup
salad
raw veggies
boiled eggs
popcorn
Always eat a good dinner (small portions)...fish, meat (bake, broil, or grill)potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy
Low calorie sweets...ginger snaps, fig bars, 100% juice popsicles
Drink plenty of water
Drink milk (low fat) or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)
Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods (no fast-food)
Never eat before going to bed.
Cardio exercise is great, but most people don't continue for an extended period, do "daily" simple exercise like walking/hiking, biking and swimming which are low impact, play games like tennis, basketball, baseball, or volleyball, they will help to lose weight, tone your body, make new friends and you'll have fun doing it.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight within a reasonable time frame. This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.
1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.
2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.
3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.
4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.
5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically burning more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.
6. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.
7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. Even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.
I hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

I don't know how to convert these numbers but if you think you need to lose weight then heres what I'm doing. There's this pill that's not FDA approved. people have asked questions on yahooanswers about it so you can look it up if you're skeptical. I know what it feels like when you want to be thin and everyones like, don't do this and don't do that, but I just ordered it. I weigh 168 and am 5'6 so I need to lose like 30 pounds. The pill is named phentermine. Don't let people tell u it causes heart problems, the product fen, that made it do that is now taken out of it. Try it and email me to keep me updated.
or you can diet and exercise, but that doesn't work for everyone. I bet when you get to your desired weight you'll want to exercise more to keep it!
