Have you ever been on any weight loss program?

Make sure you are losing fat instead of muscle. Most program tell you how to lose weight --you lost muscle and you will gain weight back as fat. So please be very careful about the program.

I would recommend you to read the book"Dare to lose" by Dr. Shari Lieberman. It is very helpful to educate yourself before you try anything. here are some suggestions from her.
1) Detoxify--prepare you physically by cleaning out toxic substances that have built up over years of improper eating and other habits
2) Low glycemic index food based eating habit---No sugar rollercoaster
3) Take supplemens for an extra lift and burn--to increase your metabolic rate, suppress your appetite, reduce carbohydrate sensitivity and improve glucose tolerance and block absorption of excess fat.
4) Change your body composition with exercise--change from high fat to low fat and low muscle to high muscle.

Wish it is helpful.

To lose weight, it is very simple. Itz all about controlling your calories intake. your body will need to burn an average 1500 Cal per day to function normally, if you take more than 1500 Cal perday it will store as fat. every 3500 Cal equals to 1bls of Fat. And if you take less than 1500 Cal, it will burn extra Fat that you had stored in your body. What my friend did, she took 2 Fat Burner Pills in the morning, along with a Meal Replacement Shake which has low calories but it provides u all the nutrition that you need. Then She has a normal balanced lunch, and at night she took a Meal Replacement Shakes again. She was able to lose 15bls in the last 2 weeks. Most people can't do that because most of the Meal Replacement Shake taste like hell, but hers taste really good.

There are some good weight loss suggestions on "How to Diet" on eHow.com. I would recommend
1) drink plenty of water to flush the fat
2) cut back on starches (carbs) and fats (no fried or high fat foods)
3) take a good EFA (essential fatty acid capsule) with flaxseed and fish oil because you have to have some oil to burn fat
4) use a body wrap to tighten your skin as you lose.
5) use protein snacks in between meals--many weight loss places have them
6) walk, walk, walk!!

I would lose an extra pound per week on my program when I would just walk 3 times per week. I lost 90 pounds this way.
