Exercise!
Count your calorie intake and make sure you consume less calories a day than you expend.
Exchange white breads for whole wheat breads
Make your own food at home to take to work or parties.
Use old pictures of you looking your worst as motivators....put them on your fridge to remind you what you used to look like or don't want to look like again.
Use hydrostatic bodyfat testing to truly see how much fat you lose, especially if you are building muscle through exercise/weight lifting.
Find a friend to lose weight with or exercise with. Humans are competitive by nature and you'll be able to push each other in the right direction.
