Hi, Nicole, this would be the easiest way to lose weight:
1) Weigh yourself once a week, at approx!. the same time, wearing approx!. the same thing!.
2) Try to make the healthiest choices possible when choosing food!. For example, choose brown rice over white rice!. Choose whole-grained bread over white bread, etc!.
3) Eat half of your normal portion at each meal!.
4) Never skip breakfast as it wakes up your metabolism and gets it working for the day!.
5) Only allow yourself one sweet on Saturday and one on Sunday (unless it's a special occasion like a birthday)!. Chew sugarless gum when you want because sometimes you just need a flavor in your mouth!.
6) Drink mostly water and plenty of it!. Save sweet drinks for special occasions!. Limit soda-even diet!. Skim milk is excellent!
7) Try to hit all the major food groups when choosing your food: lean protein, veggies, fruits, whole-grains, low-fat dairy!.
8) Be more active!. Ride your bike, take a walk, put on some good tunes and dance, jump rope, etc!. Try to do something that leaves you huffing and puffing for 30 minutes each day!.

But if you want something more "formal" then I suggest this:
There's two ways you could go and I think either way will work for you!. First of all, my best suggestion is to learn to eat healthy!.
http://www!.easy-weightloss-tips!.com/eat-!.!.!.
That means understand the food pyramid, the food groups, the recommended servings, etc!. That is how you should eat for life! If you eat that way and have 3 small, healthy meals a day and 2 small, healthy snacks, you will lose weight!. Each meal should be less than 400 calories and each snack should be about 100-150 calories!. Eating highly nutritious foods is the key, so think in terms of lean protein, veggies, whole-grains, fruits, low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy oils!.

The second option is to do a short-term "drastic diet" that is designed to last for 2 weeks max!. This would take off the most weight rapidly!. There are several on the site under "Diet Plans" but my favorite is the 5-4-3-2-1 diet!.
http://www!.easy-weightloss-tips!.com/5-4-!.!.!.
You get to pick what you eat, but you're going to want to pick highly nutritious foods to keep your metabolism working efficiently!. Again, the "eat healthy" page can help you determine what highly nutritious foods are, if you need help with that!. If you go on the short-term diet, then once it's over, follow the guidelines on the "eat healthy" page!.

Make water your main source of hydration and save the sweet drinks (even diet) for special occasions!. Eliminate as much salt and sugar from your diet as you can!.

The biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout!. You will want to make sure you do a good (30 minute minimum) cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health)!. Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories!. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively!. Think in terms of power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks!. To make sure that you're burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing!. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training!.

Good luck!

Watch your drinks!. It's amazing how many extra calories can be lurking in the sodas, juices, and other drinks that you take in every day!. Simply cutting out a can of soda or one sports drink can save you 150 calories or more each day!. Drink water or other sugar-free drinks to quench your thirst and stay away from sugary juices and sodas!. Switching from whole to nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea!.

Start small!. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones!. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week!. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life!.

Stop eating when you're full!. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit!. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full!. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach!. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving!.

Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored
