   Weightlifting has done it for me. Muscle burns more calories than fat does, so I can eat more while I lift (yay)!
   
   Of course, fueling my new muscles through delicious healthy food is the best way to go.

   I lost some weight using my own regime which involved walking and exercising and cutting down on food. The difference being that I didn't want to feel stressed out whilst doing this - I refused to follow quirky diets such as a cabbage only diet or anything drastic like that. So I devised my own system, (and wrote a hub about it) - basically eating the same foods but lowering amounts, and steadily increasing the distances and way I walked and exercised.

   Counting calories and macros as well as a healthy mix of cardio and weights. I found exercises I enjoyed and stuck with them. I lift weights and do bodyweight exercises 3-4 times a week and do cardio 4 times a week.  I also created a motivation board in my house that I look at every day with motivation quotes, pounds lost, pounds to lose, and pictures of fit people that I am inspired by.

      The motivation board helps a lot indeed.  And if you could get together friends who are also wanting to stay fit, that would be a perfect group fit too.

   High protein diet cutting out most carbs, no sweets, took a multi-vitamin, drank only water (No soda, juice or alcohol), and walked 3 miles a day around a  high school track (every) day, while listening to music on my iPod. Lost 30lbs in less than two months.

   If you are taking about fat weight then the best way I lost weight was by going to the beach. I started biking to provincial parks with beaches. Besides the biking I also hiked and did some swimming when it was warm enough. Basically I went to the beach once a week and lost fat.
   
   At first I lost weight because my fat weight decreased more than my muscle weight increased. However I ended up gaining weight. My fat weight decreased because I got rid of most of it but my muscle weight increased. So I was slimmer but 25 pounds heavier. The extra muscle made it much easier to keep the fat off.
   
   Going to the beach once a week increased my appetite. I needed to eat more food, not less. I did lose 25 pounds at the end of last summer. It was easy because I just stopped biking to the beach and my appetite decreased. However I as I lost weight I became fatter.
