If you want to look like a moviestar, photoshop a picture of yourself to hell and back. Congratulations. Okay. Snark over.

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, don't start with a crash diet or a miracle diet or a diet of cabbage soup and grapefruit. If you have access to a doctor, talk to them about setting realistic goals. Don't weigh yourself often. Exercise lots, whether that's taking the stairs or walking to work. You want to do resistance training--weights and stuff--and cardio training--things that get your heart rate up. You will gain muscle, which weighs more than fat, but that's a good thing. It takes up less space and burns more calories faster. Your basic weight distribution probably won't change lots--if you're pear-shaped when you're fat you probably won't be apple or hourglass shaped when you're skinny. Eat only slightly fewer calories than you burn per day, because if you suddenly cut your caloric intake by lots your body will think it's starving, because it is, and start frantically storing fat. Don't deny yourself all treats ever, because cravings will eat you alive. When you do have treats, enjoy them. Actually, try and enjoy everything you eat. If you see food as the enemy you're going to make problems for yourself. Eat lots of fruit and veggies and whole grains, but a healthy diet doesn't have to mean lentils and kale for every meal. Calories are calories whether they come from chocolate or carrots. Drink water or tea or herb tea without sugar. If you drink non-diet soda, stop and you'll have cut an enormous source of calories right there. Ditto sugar-syrup-and-cream laden coffee.

Good luck.

All of this is good advice, anon, and it works because it worked for me. But I would also add in that you don't need to completely cut out things like soda or coffee, just reduce the amount you drink. Limit yourself to one frappuchino a week or whatever.

Don't deny yourself all treats ever, because cravings will eat you alive. When you do have treats, enjoy them. Actually, try and enjoy everything you eat. If you see food as the enemy you're going to make problems for yourself.

I can't second this enough. If you're really craving french fries, go ahead and have the fries. What I found is that if you try to ignore cravings and substitute something else, what happens is that you'll end up eating a lot more of whatever else you're trying to use as a substitution and then it ends up being worse for you than if you'd just gone ahead and had the ice cream or fries or whatever in the first place.

Everything in moderation, anon. You don't have to stop eating the things you love, just eat less of them. Have one cookie instead of four, and after a while, you'll find you're perfectly satisfied with just one cookie. Just don't make food into the enemy, like the above anon says, because it's not.
