do cardio exercise, yoga, pilates its great to burn fat and it will tone ur body as well, drink 8-10 glasses of water
U should have a healthy balanced diet have more fibre and protein in your diet they keep you full and energized and you should have small meal every 3 hours and don’t eat before 3 hrs of going to bed. check this site for article on how to increase metabolism, soup the hunger satiated, fat burning foods, lazy way to lose weight, high protein diet and fibre and more fibre this should get you started and very easy to follow with great results

Please dont diet, theyre fads and often result in people putting on more weight than they lost in the first place. Plus they totally screw your body around. Healthy eating plans are a much safer option, plus theyre ongoing which means 100% body love!
I think instead of aiming to lose weight you should aim to be healthy and "slim down". See the problem associated with weight is that it isnt an indication of how healthy or slender a person is. ALOT of people find that when they exercise and eat right they actually GAIN weight, thats because your fat is being replaced by muscle and muscle actually weighs more than fat. Think of it this way… a professional athlete could weigh in at over 100kg, sure that makes them sound like a HUGE fatty but theyre probably really healthy. Just like a supermodel can be tiny and really unhealthy because she doesnt eat right.
Thats why I always encourage people to document two things when trying to lose weight:
1. thier actual weight
2. their measurements (but, waist, hips, upper arm, thigh, calf and ankle)
I say this because although your more likely to put of weight when you build lean muscle, youll find your measurements will decrease ultimately making you look slimmer. (Confusing i know!).
You should be consuming no more than 2000 calories per day. When I say 2000, I dont mean you can have them from whatever foods you like. You should now only be eating healthy… that means more fruit and veg, lean red meats and plenty of chicken and fish. Also try to eat more brown foods eg. brown bread over white bread. (its much better for you).
Its also really important to get at least 30mins of exercise everyday. This can be however you want, and yes a walk counts. If you play sport then thats great, if not then why not take one up. You could also look into getting some fitness DVDs or joining a gym.
Im sure in no time youll be looking slimmer and be healthier!
Good luck!
