text: Running is the easiest way to lose weight.  If you are not fit for that yet, you can start out by walking at a brisk pace outside.  Start out with 30 minutes and build up to more as your fitness level improves.  Remember that your weight will go down for losing water and fat and it will go up for gaining muscle.  I better way to gauge your progess is with how your clothes fit.  Weight-training is also really good at boosting your metabolism.  Do some push-ups and squats everyday.  Good luck!
