If you find that you're eating because food is all around and you're bored, find things to occupy your time! Whether it's your job, some new hobbies, hanging out with friends, or spending some time at the gym - which might be good if you want to lose weight - it will take your mind off of eating and help you change your lifestyle. Also, if most of the food where you live is not healthy food, you might consider doing some of your own shopping to purchase healthier options for yourself. Finally, if you have any friends who are also trying to lose weight, use them for support! If the two of you do it together and hold each other accountable, it might help you to stick to it! You can do it, don't give up!

Bring food from home.  Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.\nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

drink 8 glasses of water a day. that lowers your hunger, because people eat often times when they are thirsty, and a lot more people today are acctually dehydrated because of that. so, water helps naturally even out your appetite. when you eat, leave one bite of food, even if you could eat it, but dont starve yourself or anything. eat nutricious foods. and, excercise. i would suggest a cardio work out, so like running, jogging, jump rope, trampolines even, if you have one, it can be fun to stay active. \n\nbut the biggest thing is that you cant get discouraged if there arent immidiate changes. in order to lose weight you could diet, take pills, stuff like that, but you would gain it back once you stoped. this way, you would change your lifestyle, and become permanently healthy, but results would not happen over night. just stick with it, and you will see them shortly though.

Lose fat through exercise (the whole body) and diet.

Change your eating habits and your diet. Cut out all the junk foods, sodas and unhealthy snacks if you eat them. If you have a snack, make it a piece of fruit or yogurt, or jello. Make sure you have something for breakfast always, you could have  a salad with a piece of fruit or yogurt for lunch and then have dinner. Drink lots of water. Trim most of the fat off meats and remove the skin from poultry. Take your time when you eat so that your brain has time to signal when you are full. I'm not joking. If you eat in a hurry you are overeating and by the time you feel full you have actually eaten too much. If you don't walk a lot, go for a one half hour walk 3 times a week. In addition to walking, you can also exercise at home for 20 mins. several times a week, do this on the days you are not walking. The exercise does not have to be strenuous exercises (such as lifting weights), just firming and toning ones. Once you lose the weight you want to, don't go back to your old eating habits. Once you lose the weight you want to, you can modify your walking or exercise but don't give it up completely. If you go back to your old routine and diet because you think you have solved the problem, your weight will most likely return.

It's never easy to lose weight.\nDrinking lots of water will help, as someone else suggested.\nYou can also try to just cut your food intake in half or less without worrying about WHAT it is you're eating.  Try to fit "non-exercise" exercise into  your daily life. Park far away no matter where you go so you have to walk farther.  Never take an elevator if there's stairs.\nYou might want to make some eating rules too--never eat after 6 or 7 (which ever one works for you, mine is 7 due to my schedule), never eat in the car, never eat standing up, never eat from a package (always off a plate), never eat while watching TV or reading, chew every bite 25 times, put the fork down between bites, take at least a half hour from start to finish on each meal, never finish everything on your plate, etc.

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise is fast. You need to go to the library and check out some books on nutrition. You don't want to do a harsh diet and hurt your body from nutrients and vitamins. Bake all your meat, nothing fried, green vegetables and plenty of water. Good luck

It may not be what you eat but how you eat. You can eat pretty much what you want as long as you use strict portion control.\nAlso, vary your exercise, the body can get used to one type of exercise.\nHave you tried water aerobics? It's really fun plus you have the resistance of water to help you.

Don't bother with fasting or starving yourself. Not only will this make you feel miserable, but it will actually hamper your weight loss by lowering your metabolism (your body's natural ability to burn calories). If you want to lose weight, here are some tips:\n\n1) Exercise! It's really a wonder-drug. You'll burn calories, build muscle (which helps your body burn more calories on its own), and you will feel less hungry. If you don't have much time, you don't have to do a lot. Any little bit helps. Pick up a jumprope for a few minutes a day. Do some situps and pushups a couple times a day. Don't worry if you can't go to the gym for an hour every day - you can still exercise.\n\n2) Eat healthy fats and proteins and lots of fruits and vegetables. Skip the refined sugars. Instead of popcorn, have an apple. Go for foods high in nutrition - not high in sugar and starch. Mushrooms and carrots are a great start, but what is even more important is a balanced diet.\n\n3) Eat frequently! Sometimes eating more is really one of the best ways to lose weight. No, not necessarily more food, but more often. Your metabolism will be higher when you eat six small meals or snacks as opposed to three larger meals. If you don't want to go overboard cooking, try putting half of each meal in a tupperware container for later. Eat your 2nd meals for snacks. Even if you eat exactly the same amount of food, you'll lose weight if you split it up into smaller portions. Plus, you'll be less hungry throughout the day.\n\n4) Drink lots of water! Most people don't drink enough water and drink a lot of sodas, juices, and other sugary beverages. Skip anything with sugar in it (milk is still good) and drink only water. Soda is a HUGE source of (unnoticed) calories. Forget the diet soda too - it is full of bad stuff. In fact, if you currently drink a lot of it, you'll probably be amazed how good you'll feel if you quit. It's very common to be constantly dehydrated because you quench your thirst with soda (which doesn't actually hydrate your body).\n\nGood luck! And be healthy. :)

Eat whatever, but in smaller portions. Cut back on sugars and carbs those are loaded with calories.  Don't eat unless you are hungry.  If you snack choose veggies w/ dip, baked chips, or lite popcorn instead of candy.  Plus, throw in some exercise during the week.  If you are trying to lose weight, try to fill up on veggies w/o butter and cheese on them, or fruits.  And try to do some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.

A healthy, balanced diet (lean proteins, veggies, fruits, dairy) and adding exercise will help your entire body lose weight.  You cannot target one spot on your body i.e. your face.

By eating well and doing lots of exercise. Simple. Mostly a good variety of fruit, veg,  occasional fish and meat.\n\nTo lose weight, your calorie intake must be lower than your calorie expenditure. If you eat less than you consume you won't lose weight indefinitely because every pound of body weight adds to your calorie expenditure: as your weight decreases, so will the energy demand on your system. Eventually, you will find an equilibrium that fits your dietary intake.\n\nIf you are doing low indurance exercise (e.g. jogging), you will lose fat and muscle until your weight matches your intake, BUT!!! if you finish a low indurance session with some higher indurance exercise (weights around 50 reps) you will encourage your muscles to hang onto their fibres and the fat will disappear quicker. This is how you get "in shape" and get a nice cut physique.\n\nIf you are new to exercise, be aware of "the training curve"... If you are not exercising regularly, your muscles will accummulate fuel (glycogen). When you start to exercise regularly, after initial aches and pains called the IDOMS, you will find a spurt in your fitness. You'll feel pretty good! But...\n\nAs you continue to run down your fuel reserves, your body is not accustomed to putting these back as quick as you are burning them. After your initial spurt there may come a point when you feel drained and you can't face your exercise sessions because your just too pooped...\n\nThis is the time to train to improve your fitness: train your body to replenish the muscle fuel you are burning! This is a key hurdle to getting fit. It's really hard and it can take time but once you are through it you'll feel great!\n\nMental preperation is key because getting in shape requires a lifestyle change and people are generally comfortable in their lifestyle, even if they're not happy with it. Be under no illusions: lifestyle changes are difficult! \n\nMake a list of all the stuff you don't like about your lifestyle now and stick it on the door of your fridge. To remind you of why you are doing what you are doing. \n\nPrepare yourself for the times when you will feel like avoiding your sessions (due to training curve and all other kinds of excuses): write a note to [your future self] to be read when [your future self] is thinking of avoiding a session that explains to [your future self] why you would please like [your future self] to stop being a big wuss and get [your future self's] backside out of the door and onto the freaking bike!
