eat low calorie stuff like fish, chicken breast, salads, soup,….and exercise everyday….diet pill dont work, all they have been proven to do is give you energy because they contain caffein.

JennyCraig, Sew your mouth shut, Liquid diet, all you can eat diet, salads and water only diet. Do Not Smoke diet.
Leave work 7 minutes after you know that your bus to take you home has left with out you and begin to chase that bus.
when you are able to catch up with your city transportation then its time to stop..

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!
Let us know your thoughts!
Avoid processed foods (high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated fats (trans fats)) and eat more fruits and vegetables.
If you really want to lose weight, cut out soy, wheat and dairy out of your diet and stick with it for 6 months. There are lots of replacements to those 3 foods (meats, rice, non-wheat grains, etc). You can get everything you need in an organic food store like Whole Foods, it may cost a bit more but you will get better quality of food and it is cheaper than paying for a diet.
If you are obese, I would talk to you doctor before trying any diet.
Advertised fad diets will make you lose weight in the short term but it comes back, you have to change your eating habits and make excersize a part of your life.
