Eat less calories than you burn almost every day. Keep moving.

These are my tips:

Jessica Smith on youtube has quite a lot of beginner workouts.

Walking. I still do it to this day.

Youtube has become a haven for bedroom/house exercising. After being used to being up and about, check out Couch to 5k! It's a great program to help people get from the 'couch', to acclimating them to run 5k marathons. You don't actually have to do the marathon, but it really gets you better used to the cardio!

And there are no 'tricks', aside from lipo. /sad

It's all CICO. Plug in your info and what you wanna lose on MFP, it'll tell you the calories to eat to. REMEMBER, don't eyeball measurements, or you could easily go over your calories! Get a digital scale and measure everything.

Eat less and walk more. Simple as that.

Start just by logging every day, it's the most useful habit to have. Everything else can be fine tuned as you go.

It's mostly psychological. Find out what your triggers are for overeating and why you really want to do it. Remind yourself every day at every meal that EVERY calorie counts and they add up so every day counts. Weigh daily and record a trending weight so you don't lose your mind with weird fluctuations. Understand that they happen and know to watch trends instead of your daily weight. Do fun things that motivate you, e.g. exercise dvd's, sports, gardening, whatever works to get you motivated and moving. Don't force yourself to eat certain foods that you don't like or do certain things you don't enjoy because you think it's healthy. Eat and do healthy things you love and make it a way of life.
