Alright losing weight is not as hard as everyone thinks it is.
First off, you need to do two things, Diet and Exercise. You can not and i repeat can not do just one of these because you will see either minimal or no results at all. When i say diet I don't necessarily mean eat less food, unless your eating a ridiculous amount, but eating healthier foods. It's all about what you eat. As for exercise, for example say you were trying to lose fat around your stomach, DO NOT JUST GO DO CRUNCHES. That wont help you. Doing crunches will get you some muscle on your abs but that fat will still be over top of it. If you really want to lose that weight over your stomach, stop now. Take that off your goal list. You should make your goal to lose a certain amount of weight. When you are losing weight it will come from fat all over you body not just your stomach. Over time you will lose that weight over your stomach along with any other excess fat you might have.
A couple of tips:
Work out or exercise in the morning before you eat. This is good because your body will use your fat for energy.
Lifting weights is actually a good idea also. Although you wont "lose" weight, you can turn some of that fat into muscle.
If you are going to start running, do not start by running 3 miles a day. You need to gradually make your way there. Start off with half a mile for a week. If you feel confident with yourself then move up to 1 mile. I would stay at 1 mile for a couple of weeks if you aren't really in shape. If you are in shape and you feel like you can then start to run 2 miles or even run twice a day. Everybody's body is different and therefore you have to find out what will benefit you the most. Experiment but be safe.
