The best way to lose weight and then keep it off, which ultimately is your goal, right? Make changes to your life that you can spend the rest of your life living with.
You already know you have to exercise but, choose a type of exercise that you can continue doing. I love weights and they work great, but if you hate them what's the point?
The sme holds true for food, if you absolutely love , love , love chocolate then denying yourself will eventually backfire. Give yourself permission to have some and then enjoy it guilt free. (Not a whole cake or 3 chocolate bars, be realistic.) Also know what you are eating-- A Big Mac has a whopping 600 or so calories, not a great idea too often. All these mocha lattes and such, huge amounts of calories.
There are a lot of foods that we may decide to hve only once in awhile if we knew what was in them, do some research and find out if there is some you need to cut back on.
Take it slow. It takes time to lose weight. If you starve yourself, it will never last eventually you will binge. If you exercise until you can't move, you won't want to go back.
Plan on about 1 lb a week, yes I know you can push for more but 1 lb is totaly doable.
And lastly do it for yourself 'cause you're going to feel great.
