Okay the best way to lose weight is to concentrate on 2 main things, this is your diet and your workout.
—Diet—-
You need to get both of them right, now your diet should work like this… you should be eating a meal every 2-3 hours but not a junk food snack/meal. When i say meal i mean something which is healthy ie you might have some pasta with tuna, or a quick banana as a snack. The foods you eat should be COMPLEX carbs ie pasta, brown bread etc etc. You also want to try and get as much fruit + ved in a day. Make sure you have a good amount of protein throughout your meals.
Now you also need to work out your Basal Metabolic Rate, this simply tells you how many calories you burn a day, you need to find out how much your actually eating now its most likely to be in excess if it is you want to TRY and cut down 500 calories and stick to your new total amount. This shouldnt be hard because you will be eating Complex carbs which are just as filling but have a lower calorie count but are better for you than empty calories which are found in simple carbs.
—Workout—
Here are some tips for you
Okay now for your workout what you want to be doing is concentrating on many different types of cardio exercises. These are your jogging,swimming basically anything that makes you sweat and makes your heart pound. If you can join a gym as they have a lot of cardio machines there. Now once you get in to the hang of say jogging, what i mean by this is say you jog 20 mins everyday eventually you will come to a point where your not losing anymore weight this is like hitting a brick wall, this means you need to up the game, start jogging that extra five minutes a day, start taking that one less suagr in your cup of tea.
The most important tip to remember is to vary your cardio routines. Your body gets used to the same cardio routines done over and over. By varying your routine, your body will have to adjust, and thus causes a rise in the metabolic rate, thereby burning calories faster. But how many people do you see walking everyday in your neighborhood, or on the same treadmill or elliptical machine at the gym, and their body never seems to be changing. They do all that work and see no visible results. That is because the conventional wisdom is to get some form of cardio 3-5 days a week at 30 – 60 minutes.
A better alternative is high impact interval training. High impact training could include doing a warm-up of 3-4 minutes on a treadmill, followed by 1 minute at 8 mph, then 1 1/2 minutes at 4 mph, then run 10 mph for 1 minute, then walk at 4 mph for 1 1/2 minutes. You can repeat this 3 or 4 times to get a very effective, and not boring cardio workout.
You can also incorporate running or walking stairs, or do short sprints. The sprints need not be long (20,30, 50 yards), and you rest by walking back to the starting point. These are very effective. Have you ever seen a fat person running the 100 yard dash at the Olympics?
And often overlooked is the jump rope. Do short bursts of jump rope at a brisk pace with some faster paced, or double jumps, or criss crosses mixed in.
By applying these cardio tips on how to burn calories fast, you should be able to jump start your metabolism, and make progress towards your fitness goals
I can guarantee you that you will lose weight i have had to both GAIN and LOSE weight as i was an ex boxer I assure you that this will work, but the most important tip is motivation from YOU!
Best Of Luck

i am going the the same thing right now . you need to do the treadmill like start out with 20- 25 mins everytime u work out to get your blood pumping . you need to get your heart rate at a certain target. some treadmills will do the math and everything for u . and then when you use work out machines or free weights . do like 10 pounds for your arms but what u have to do is more reps like for my legs i do 40 pounds and 3 sets of 50 reps each. for yours arms your gonna want to do 50 reps of the 3 sets and and 5 to 10 pounds it will make ur arms smaller but it will also tone them so you dont have that flabby skin i hope this works for u as it is working for me
good luck!

Peace be with you,
First of all, worrying about your weight is the first step to weight loss success. Second, what you have to do is just you have to get a personal journal right away. Promise yourself to eat healthily starting the moment you see my answer. I cannot tell you about my high-protein diet, as it may not work for you, because people’s bodies are different. I advise you to open up the website called http://www.eatwell.gov.uk and learn about the food, learning about the food is really important. I also advise you to check out this website: http://www.caloriecount.about.com in it, you can join groups, and get encouraged by other buddies who are losing weight, just like you.
Anyways, I have a few tips that may be of use if you consider them properly:
1. Drink plenty of water everyday
2. Walk rather than drive. Go swimming once per week, or twice, as much as you can. You can also do home cardio exercises, like doing the squats. On http://www.caloriecount.about.com, there is a corner for fitness and exercise by which I exercise at home
3. Weigh yourself weekly. If you find you are not losing weight, do not get discouraged, you are just in the beginning of your weight loss diet plan.
4. Before all of that, you must seek a nutritionist to identify your diet so that you can follow it: come on, make an appointment today. Do not be lazy, the lazier you are to seek a nutritionist, the more you are at risk of obesity. We need to be realistic, alright?
5. Have 3 fruits per day, do not forget the apples, “fresh” juices are considered like one serving. Again, I am saying “fresh juices only”
6. Again, have fun and be confident.
Best of wishes, from your weight loss buddy..
