Its all about calories in vs calories out - all you consume is being transfered into energy once inside your body and only if not spend stored in fat reserves.
your body needs fruit and veggies because of dietray fiber and all the vitamins and minerals in them but it also needs healthy fats (avocados, salmon, nuts, flax seeds and oil etc.), protein, complex carbs.
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 400-600cal 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 (have lots of veggies to eat in between meals if you are still hungry)
8 glasses of water -carry bottle of water with you and when you feel hungry drink it - we often confuse hunger with thirst (our bodies confuse it)
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 average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
of course you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

It takes 3,500 calories to equal one pound of body weight. Generally, many dieters dump an average of 1,000 calories per day in an effort to lose 2 pounds of body fat per week.
The key to losing weight is to decrease the amount of calories one intake vs. the amount on burns with exercise/activities. If one was to eat just 500 fewer calories per day one should expect to lose 1 pound of body weight per week. (if not MUCH more considering water weight)
I know some people lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks with the help offered on this site.
