I pretty much agree with everything that pleasureplay said, but what he didn't say is how to decide how many calories you are actually eating, how to measure it, etc.

Here is what I did to lose around 30 pounds in 3 months. Granted I was a fat ass and had plenty to lose (went from 240 to 210) but at least I can see my dick now.

Equal amounts of carbs and proteins. I used the simple method of measuring with my hand. I would eat a portion of protein (lean meat or fish) that was roughly the size of the palm of my hand. Same thing for the carbs. I stayed away from pasta and fatty meats. If I wanted a hamburger I used turkey burger instead of ground beef. I also made sure I had a fruit or veggy with every meal. In short, just be smart about what you eat. I ate 5 times a day. I always allowed myself one day to "cheat". That doesn't mean I binged, it just means that on that day I wouldn't worry if the meat was lean or not. I might have a piece of pizza or two etc... just don't go crazy on your cheat day. The only thing I drank was water or coffee or unsweetened tea.

I also worked out 5 days a week. I only worked out for about an hour 3 of those days, and 25 minutes the other 2, but it was an intense workout. The three "long" days was dedicated to weight training. The way I judged if I was working out hard enough is if I could complete all my sets of a certian exercise I wasn't pushing it enough. Be careful with this if you don't have a partner and use your brain. Use dumbells instead of barbells, use machines, use proper form so you don't injure something etc... The other 2 days or my "short" days was dedicated to cardio. I am not a big fan of running, so I rode the stationary bike most of the time. 25 minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but the way I pushed it I couldn't walk for a few minutes after I was done because my legs were burning too much.

I have tried the starvation stuff before and it never worked for me I always ended up binging and gaining more than what I had lost.

I think the key is to realize that if you want to lose weight, you need to make lifestyle changes. You aren't ever going to be able to the way it was before. Just remember the way it was before is what got you in this situation to begin with.
