Ok, ok....I'll tell you how to lose weight. First of all, you never "go on a diet". To "go on a diet" means that one day, you will "go off the diet". When you go off, you will begin to put back on all the weight you took off and generally more.
The word "diet" is not something to go on. It is a "way of eating". You change your "diet", you change the way you eat. Before, you ate and gained weight. Now you want to eat and not gain weight. By doing that you will automatically lose weight and it will be something you can live with the rest of your life if you choose.
You should NEVER GO HUNGRY!!!!!!!! That is a sure fire road to failure! Nobody likes to go hungry. You are NOT A RABBIT!!! So don't eat like one, OK?
Here's what you do......go to Walmart and spend $5 and get you a paperback calorie counting book.
In it will be listed virtually eveyrthing a human would want to put into their mouth.
Limit your daily calories to 1500/day. No LESS!!!
Spread those calories out anyway you want.
Eat healthy. Something you have not been doing up to now, and in your future you may want to lose even more weight.
Do not eat any fats/oils while you are trying to lose.
That means: no fast food (loaded with fats), no pizzas, chips and other snacks. NONE! After you've lost your weight, you can fit some in here and there and treat yourself.
No red meats. Not good for you because of the hidden fats in them. Limit your dairy foods to low fat/no fat dairy. But be sure you eat dairy foods.
No regular sugar or sweets. Only artificially sweetened foods and drinks. Splenda is wonderful and you can cook/bake with it.
You can eat lots and lots of skinless chicken (the skin has a lot of fat), anykind of fish or seafood, lean pork (no sausage or bacon because of the fat). Any of these can be cooked anyway you want EXCEPT fried. Remember, oil is fat!!
Eat lots and lots of veggies. All kinds...As many as you want. Cook them any way you want to except fried. (You know why). You can stir fry them with some cooking spray only.
Use butter flavoring or Molly McButter to sprinkle.
Limit your fruits. They are wonderful but loaded with natural sugars and one may outdo themselves quickly!
Limit your carbs to one serving per meal. If it is white it is a carb and all breads, no matter what color or whole grain they are, they are a carb.
So, forget about all the dietetic foods and junk like that. Eat good wholesome food and lots of it, just follow the advice above and exercise 20 minutes every day and you WILL lose weight and tone up. This is a way of life and a way of eating you can live with the rest of your life and be healthy!!
Good luck

Salad with olive oil and vinegar, steamed veggies, brown rice, fruit, if you eat a sandwich that's fine but not an easy mac.
BIGGG MACCC!!
go run
doesn't matter, just be sure to do 10-15 sit-ups before bed, and after you wake up everyday
Make sure you're getting enough protein, especially if you're looking for muscle tone. Turkey is good, or maybe some grilled fish and veggies or something.
make a healthy fried rice with (cooked) brown rice, diced vegetables (carrot, corn, capsicum, peas) and a small amount of low fat bacon. Toss together with soy sauce and garlic. YUM
