Sometimes we cannot do it alone and need a friend or a support group. That’s ok. For example, Weight Watchers is based on a healthy diet and has great support to loss weight. Do walking with a friend (maybe during lunch at work) and the time will goes by quick. Join a gym, do yoga, or an exercise group, such as “Curves”, or do dance lessons. All these activities are with people. Have fun and enjoy so it becomes a life change.

Great advice on eating and exercise!! To my understanding, 1/2 hour a day (or approximately 3-3.5 hours per week) of exercise is a weight maintenence level. In order to lose weight studies show you will need to both reduce caloric intake and exercise at least 4-5 hours per week.
Good luck!!

Thank you for your weight and height. As you have stated, you are overweight. Do you eat salad? That is considered vegetables. You can loss weight without eating vegetables even though they are a benefit for nutrients and fiber. Increasing your physical activities will help you. Only need 1/2 hour a day and that can be broken up throughout the day. For example, park your car in the back of the parking lot and walk to the store. That will give you additional walking. The foods you eat should come from other the food groups multi-grains, fruits and dairy / meat. Portion control is important and here some general tips = ½ cup for all starches and vegetables; one piece of fruit or ½ cup of small fruits; 1 cup for low fat dairy products, and only 3oz of low fat meat or protein substitution a meal (only 6ozs total a day). To help eat less food pre meal, eat about 7-10 almonds, 20 minutes before lunch and dinner so you will feel full faster and not eat as much food.  Do not be discouraged, weight loss can be a slow process but the slower you loss, the higher chance it will stay off. Think of this new way of eating as your new healthy lifestyle and not as a diet. That will help you to keep your weight off, help your blood sugar levels, and keep your body healthy. Hope this helps!
