Answer
Hi Aleena,
The only way to lose weight effectively is to eat less calories than you expend.  Eat 5 small meals per day of lean protein, complex carbohydrates--fruit and vegetables, and 8 glasses of water.  Walk or do something aerobic in terms of exercise for an hour per day at 80-85% of your maxium heart rate--breathing hard but able to keep going.  Do the exercise 5 days a week and then start doing some abdominal and toning exercises.
In 6 weeks (if you are consistent) you will see a dramatic change.
Good luck!
Linda
