Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself and on your body by starving and working yourself to death.
Get rid of high sugar food w/no nutrition, esp soda.
Walk, run, dance, whatever, just get moving and move a little more every couple of days.
Now comes the sneaky part. Go to Macy's or Dillards and try on a one-piece underwear set--like a teddy--that has lots of stretch and control. A lot of girls wear that to the prom (it provides support without straps). It can go down to your knees if necessary, and it can put a waistline on someone as overweight as me!!
Have fun, chiquita.
Buenos nachos!! lol

Hi. Basically cardio and/or diet. This is like a ratio: if you do a lot of cardio (6 or 7 days a week), you can get away with having a few treats here and there. Or, if you don't want to do as much cardio, you can diet (3 to 5 small portioned meals, less treats). Therefore, the best way to lose weight is cardio and diet at the same time. This will no doubt make you lose fat. Cardio burns off calories. But dieting will help keep the weight off. However, in my opinion, it's best to do cardio anyways because running/jogging/walking can do no harm to your body (unless unfavorable weather conditions permit or you overdue it).
Also, weightlifting can help increase your metabolism. If you run, the best exercise that can make you lose weight fast are deadlifts/squats/lunges/leg extensions/etc., anything that works the legs. The reason for this is because the legs are your body's largest muscle group, and therefore the most calories are burned because of the legs. The legs have large muscles which means it needs more calories in order to function. Therefore, if you build muscle and/or try to get the legs into better shape, your body will no doubt start burning more calories when you run/jog/walk because of the added muscle mass.
Let's say you drive a truck. Well, it probably burns a certain amount of gasoline. Then let's say we want to tow a boat. Well, since the engine has to work harder, it will no doubt burn more gasoline at a faster rate than before. The more mass, the more calories burned. This doesn't mean like huge muscles--it could be as simple as getting your body in shape that will give you access to burning more calories.
If you have any other questions, feel free to message me =).

I'm a medical student and I'm currently working on my PhD in nutrition of all fields.
If you want to lose weight, the best way is to increase the number of times you eat per day and stick to a south beach diet. In addition, do cardio and weight lifting. Don't eat 4 hours before bedtime. Avoid refined sugars and starches (white pasta, white bread). Avoid fruit juice and eat whole fruit instead.
Drink a lot of water and get a lot of sleep. Staying up late increases your body's creation of grelin which is a hormone that increases your appetite. Also, try to stay positive. Depressed people tend to gain weight because the theory goes that part of the thalamus in your brain has an area that controls feeding behavior. There are drugs that target that area but they aren't approved by the FDA in this country yet (plust they have side effects) Get sleep, stay healthy

don't know what a 'quince' is but I found Pilates a fantastic was to slim down and also feel really good. What I love is that all exercises are done slowly. And the Pilates saying is "if it hurts, it's your body is telling you to stop"! It goes without saying that you must also eat properly. Good Luck
