(you need to do more than just sit ups and crunches). Pushups and squats are a good start to build muscle in your upper and lower body respectively. Building muscle is key to burning fat, becoming healthy, and staying in shape.Make sure the meals you eat are healthy. If you aren't already, take a multi-vitamin that has 100% of most of your vitamins and minerals. For a snack, have fresh fruits or vegetables. Cut out all food that contains high fructose corn syrup out of your diet and drink water instead of soda. If you like to drink sweet beverages, buy plain carbonated water and mix it with 100% juice or just drink 100% fruit juice.Finally, some people (myself included) who use certain beauty products and soaps actually retain water because the product contains parabens. If you switch to plain dove bar soap and a non-paraben containing shampoo and conditioner like the l'oreal 'ever' line and eliminate all moisturizers that also have parabens any extra water weight you are holding in your skin will dissipate within a week or so.

Eating less is not necessarily going to get you skinnier nor healthier. Eating too little can wreck your metabolism and make your body store fat. Something you don't want. And eating only twice a day may result in overeating at the meals you do take.
Personally, I eat 3 meals and snack in between. Usually I don't go more then 3 hours without something to eat. It keeps my metabolism fired up.
What DOES matter is what you put in your body. Know your serving sizes. Eat when you are hungry. Stay away from junk.
As for exercises, well you can start out easy. These videos linked below are "only" 5 minutes a say. But there is nothing to say that you can up the repetitions and the time you spend doing them:
Daily workout : http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/dr-ozs-seven-minute-workout
Cardio : http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/fit-five-cardio-workout
Core: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/fit-five-core
You can alternate Core/Cardio ones. One on even days, the other on odd. Also I can recommend Yoga. There are a BUNCH of Yoga videos for beginners out there (I'm sure you can find some on YouTube as well as in any bookstore) Jillian Michael's made a video (Yoga Meltdown) that uses a lot of the poses from yoga but in a "work out" way. Pretty fun and not too hard for beginners. If you are more hardcore, I can recommend "Insanity work out".
Most of all, be consistent. Commit to getting fitter. Go out for a walk/run/bike ride. And drink plenty of water. Cut the soda, cut the sugar.
