Well, I lost 65 lbs in 2005, so I can tell you exactly how I did it, but you won't like it, lol!
No more fast food.
No more sodas (diet, anything, period).
No more coffee.
I ONLY ate a bowl of oatmeal (plain! no honey, no sugar, nothing!) in the am, an apple and orange for brunch, a few slices of lean deli ham with some cheddar cheese in the middle for lunch, a grapefruit or light yogurt for dinner, and for dessert sugar-free jello. (mon-sat)
Then on sunday I ate whatever I want.
I drank only lots of water or crystal light lemonade.
I took a multivitamin (Centrum).
In January I was a sz 16 in stretch jeans, and now in November I am a size 6! I have lost ten sizes and over 65 lbs by eating just as I described above!
Good luck! It takes dedication but it worked for me!
