generally, there are two real ways of losing weight:
1.) less food intake i.e. diet
2.) exercise/increase physical activity
i really dont recommend dieting and eating those "bird food" ... eventually you will get tired of it and you will be pigging out on KFC and gain back your weight with a vengeance.
try looking for a fun physical activity... im avoiding the word exercise, cause lets face it... exercise is hell boring... not to mention it leaves you breathless, sweaty and smelly... and oh, it piles up the laundry bills too.
im saying this from experience cause ive been fat all my life... but i discovered a fun physical activity (no, not sex... honestly... even if you have 2 hour sex everyday 5x a week, 3 months straight, you wont lose weight. i am certain of that) ...
from 200++ lbs, i dropped to 150 lbs, before i got into a relationship with my ex ex gf and that bought me to where i am now (back to 200 ++ lbs).

oh well, just to give a little visual...
this was me BEFORE i started having fun with martial arts. i tried those diets where i only eat fruits and vegetables... have oatmeal for breakfast... etc. it NEVER lasts for more than 6 months and before the year ends, i end up looking like this:
-*-
this was me when i was exercising 5 times a week and absolutely have NO CONTROL over what i ate (i think i weigh 160 lbs here). forgive the corny pose... you know... when you've been fat all your life sometimes you just wanna have a picture where you get to imitate a thin, fast guy like bruce lee. id also like to add that when you exercise, you tend to not eat much. i know its the opposite of what ppl told you that exercise increases your appetite. its not true. boredome and inactivity increases your appetite.
-*-
this is me currently when i spent 4 years of having no control of what i ate and stopped exercising. the coolest thing here is that it takes you that long to gain back all that weight.
honestly i dont enjoy taking/posting pics of myself being at 200 lbs ++ now *lol* but i just did it to inspire you perhaps
-*-
currently... im getting back on track with the "active" lifestyle. ill probably post a new photo or something after a year.
it usually takes about 4 months before you feel your pants getting a little bit looser and you get to pull your belt a bit tighter... after a year, you will lose enough weight to begin buying medium or small sized t-shirts.
-*-
i hope the pics inspired you cause im the type of person who doesnt come from an athletic family and all of us and my cousins are fat, my genetic code works against me but well, i won the battle before... its just i got careless and overconfident.
i dont smoke nor drink though... so i guess it helps that my heart and lungs are clean.
-*-
in conclusion...
what i love most about being thin is that eventhough you dont listen to hiphop... you can do things like this:
and oh another thing, those small sized t-shirts are kinda cool cause you can fit them better when you pack your hiking bag during the holy week, hehehe.
