Eat well ( organic helps-- look for healthy recipes, they don't have to taste bad to be healthy!)
Exercise often (at least 3 times a week)
Drink lots of water

Research (I recommend the documentaries Clean, Sugar and Food INc as they provide insight into the food industry)

Don't think of it as weight loss, think of it as a lifestyle change (this will help you get healthy and maintain any changes!
When I was going to college, I took a workout class that was actually ROTCs pt class. The group encouragement was amazing!! Try looking into group classes offered by your gym or get a friend with similar goals. The buddy system is such a motivatior. Good luck!
A good dietary regime and exercises all will be helpful in losing weight. Losing weight in a healthy way is important for maintaining the glow of your skin. Eat lots of fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, fruits and consume less of potato, sweetened and processed foods. Start your day by drinking lemon juice in warm water. Have fruits with lots of vitamin C in breakfast that will help you cut fats as vitamin C is a fat burner. Exercise daily for 30-40 minutes like walking or aerobic exercise.
There is a woman on here, Barb135, she started a weight loss challenge for 2015. We are challenging ourselves to lose at least 1lb a week, she is super helpful and gives so many tips. I need to lose 50lbs still but overall have lost 10. What is working for me is keeping a food diary and tracking my calorie intake on here. My calorie limit is 1200 a day or 1300 max. With that, I walk if in outside just around my house.

I cannot exercise a whole lot do to a medical condition where I suffer from daily headaches and pressure in my head. Losing weight will actually help this condition. Besides my overall health, this is why it is so important that I lose weight.
I have lost weight in the past, but always seem to gain it back. I think that I was not eating enough calories. i was staying at about 1000 a day. I lost 70 pounds, but gained it all back plus a lot more.
It is very normal for a woman's breast to change size with losing and gaining weight and also when pregnant and breast feeding.
Because she has stopped breast feeding and also has lost weight, this is the reason why the breasts have also got smaller.
Lyric17 has good tips with regard wearing a good bra to reduce sagging. This can happen when losing a lot of weight over a short period of time and as we age.
Best wishes.
For losing weight, drink warm/hot water several times a day and do kapabhati for 30 minutes, twice a day.
Kapalbhati pranayam
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
-(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.
