Of course, whatever you pick, you're going to need to get active in a way that's enjoyable and sustainable for you. If you're far north, that might be cross-country skiing. Or you might need to be indoors, or you may have a beach to run along. Or maybe you like team sports. Just keep trying at finding something that feels right to you.

1. commit to yourself that you'll do whatever it takes, for 6 months
2. stop eating junk food and start eating more fruits and vegetables
3. go to the gym 3 times a week, in the morning (to burn more calories), for at least 2 hours (I do 3 hours per session)
4. do half an hour of cardio at the beginning and half an hour at the end of your training
5. work specific groups of muscles, men usually work the upper part of the body, while women work the lower part more (the legs)
Dieting it's only 20% of the process, it works only if you do it while you're going to the gym.

- Exercise daily
- Motivate yourself to lose wait and remind yourself why you're doing it.
- Maintain a healthy and stable diet, avoid fast foods
- keep at it, you won't lose a large amount of weight in a few days or even weeks sometimes
- Get outside for walks, or find something type of physical activity that you can commit to that gets your body moving and energy flowing. I play soccer in the summer on a team and hockey in the winter. Sometimes I don't want to, but I made a commitment and the team is depending on me so I have to attend.

I will describe my diet here.
My trick to eating less wasn't just to eat smaller meals. I didn't intentionally say I would eat fewer times during the day. My trick was to WAIT as much as possible between meals. The difference between this and saying I'm eating fewer meals is that, if I'm eating fewer meals then I'm not listening to my body, so I'm not eating when my body says it's starving. Some days I would eat eight times, other days I would eat three.
I don't eat snacks to "tie me over" to the next meal, because my next meal is whenever I'm really HUNGRY. When I'm really hungry and I can't wait anymore, I have a small plate of FOOD, NOT a snack.
Finally, I'm allowed to eat as much fruit as I want, no matter when. I'm also allowed to eat bread if it's part of my meal and the meal stays small.
Exercise is also important. It keeps your metabolism up. Try doing a couple of push ups after every meal.

When you get a blood sugar spike, you store fat. That's how it happens.
Therefore, stabilizing you blood sugar is the first step. How do you do this?
Eat a meal every 3-4 hours comprised of the following:
400 calories: 40g protein, 40g carbs, 10g fats. 3-5g sugar (no more!)
Eat *natural* foods -- this makes a difference. Processed foods become fat easier.
Then, exercise. Here's how you do that:
a) Start by lifting weights. Yes, I know. You didn't expect that one. Here's why: fat is burned in the muscular-skeletal system. You need to 'recruit some muscles' to burn the fat first.
You do this by spending ~15 minutes lifting -- but not heavy weights. Lift lighter, but do more reps. 2 seconds on the contraction, then 3 seconds on the negative.
b) Do some cardio. But don't sprint or do this 'hard'. Fat is burned when you are at simmer, if you will. You should be able to speak easily while you do your cardio. A good exercise is walking on a treadmill at a 15% incline, speed set for how winded you feel.
c) Don't drink. Alcohol messes with your blood sugar -- makes it plunge. This results in your being hungry AND when you eat, more of it gets stored as fat. (This is because your body thinks you're starving).
d) Don't starve yourself!!! No no no no no. Yes, you will lose weight, but again, this will plunge your blood sugar and when you DO eat, the effect will be the same as "c" above -- you'll put on weight.
e) Be patient -- and measure your bodyfat with calipers if possible so you can see your progress. Even when you can't see it directly, calipers will tell the tale. If you belong to a gym, they generally will have someone there who can do this.
f) It's more diet than exercise. Really.
several nutrition programs I've done of the years at gyms

Then you can have the pleasant experience of using its charting capability to plot out your decreased calorie intake against hopefully decreased weight.
Works for me!

"I find you're answer very helpful, and not make me have a hard time."
Dear naadine, without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing, as an "old friend" would say. There is no magic bullet. If you don't work hard for it, you won't get it. Cheers.
