Well, my diet is taking about 5lbs per week off, but it's fairly drastic.

I eat a bowl of cereal in the morning (whatever cereal I feel like; lately, it's been Life), a multi-vitamin, and OJ to take the vitamin down (and give myself an extra blast of vit-C).

For lunch, if I'm on campus, I have a salad (salad greens, chopped ham, grated cheddar, and french dressing), one entree (today was a slice of pizza), dessert (a piece of cake), and three drinks (one glass of skim milk, one glass of water, and one glass of unsweetened iced tea). I eat more on campus because I need the energy for school.

For lunch on my days off (Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun), I have a Lean Cuisine meal with a glass of skim milk.

For supper, on all nights, I have a serving of yogurt. If I'm going to go weight lifting, I have a boiled egg as well (minus the yolk) for extra protein.

Those are my meals. During the day, I only drink water. Nothing with calories in it.

However, diet alone can't take care of weight, so I exercise daily. On Sundays and Thursdays, I spend an hour lifting in the gym in order to build/tone my muscle. The other days, I go to the gym and use the cardio equipment or go jogging. Running/jogging really helps melt the weight off. Do cardio exercises like walking, running, or jumping jacks in order to jump start things.

Make sure you have breakfast every morning, too. It gets the metabolism running in a good way. It makes you more hungry during the day, but since you aren't starving yourself, your body simply takes off of your fat reserves when you get hungry (you know how you'll feell hungry for a while, and then not? it's your body taking a snack off of your body fat).

Make sure you don't eat within three hours of going to bed. I actually don't allow myself to eat after 7PM. It makes me a little hungry later on at night, but it works. I'm taking 5lbs off per week, and liking it.
