Loosing weight is a simple math excercise, you have to keep your calories at a level below what it takes now to maintain your current weight...
Do not eat any foods with high fructose corn syrup in it, like candies, in some prepared spagehetti sauces, fruit juices and lots of other foods, read the labels. It is in peanut butter except for the natural peanut butter, it is in crackers, cookies, cereals, snacks etc.
High fructose corn syrup interferes with a naturally produced hormone in your body that signals your brain that you are full and makes you feel hungry...cutting it out totally will do wonders for your hunger pains.
Between meals snack on as many veggies as you want, like carrots, or have an orange or an apple.
Eat soup, and practice a thing called volumetrics, make your food bulkier without adding calories so that it fills you up. Instead of having a sandwich made out of two slices of white bread, two slices of meat and cheese, mayo have one made out of whole wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoe, bean sprouts, green peppers, a slice of meat, cheese, and no mayo. You now have a bigger sandwich, haven't added any more calories, and can probably get by with eating half of it now instead of the whole thing as it will fill you up.
Excercise is key to loosing weight, do at least 20 minutes of cardio every day, and start lifting weights, muscles weighs more than fat and will burn more calories in your body if you have a greater ratio of muscle to fat.

 if you want something good in life you have to work hard for it its like every thing els fitness diets quiting smoking like me i do a lot of fitness work if when i started i said to my self ill do this that go to the gym 5 times a week i would have failed and gotten board there are some people who say take pills but most of the time its not worth it just start with cutting out junk i.e chocolate biscuits and have three meals a day breakfast dinner and tea if you have it and do 30 mins of fitness a day and don't go out and spend money on gym and weights you could do sit-ups or crunches or swimming low impact sport and if you think you will stick at it get a good pair of running shoes with padded soles you should find some for £25 and if you got someone to go with it an upside or an MP3 player just take this one day at a time so every morning say to yourself i will do this rather i might and i about a mouthes time you will see a big difference i had to work a year to get where i am if you have eny questions about fitness just mail me good Luke :)
