my new years resolution is to lose weight ?

You are on the right track.

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.

Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help. Foods such as desserts, sweets, cakes, cookies or biscuits must be eliminated or substantially reduced. Cereals must be restricted to those that contain less than 15% total sugars and junk sugar loaded foods such as pizzas must be avoided. Junk sugar bowls must be abolished.

Junk sugar health hazards are discussed in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22sugar+healt...

The natural sugars in fruit and vegetables are OK as they metabolise to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content so they have a low to medium GI value. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruit and vegetables are metabolism boosting foods and that helps for weight loss. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are exceptions and can be fattening.

Fattening combinations that you need to avoid include combinations of protein foods (such as eggs, meat, poultry, sea food, cheese and nuts) with starchy carbohydrates (such as bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn).

Don't diet, but dieting is a bit different than choosing how you eat. Dieting is temporary and eating healthy is not. Eat more fruits instead of junk food, choose whole grain over the regular kind. But the most important thing is to do cardio, that is the exercise that will get your heart racing and your body sweating. You kind find tons of free work out videos on YouTube.

In the end, it doesn't matter exactly how you change your diet or your workout routine, what matters is that you stick with it. Results won't come in 3 days, you have stick with it to finally see even a little bit of change.

I'd advice you to change the goal from 'losing weight', to 'getting fit'.

Because you don't want to race to a 1-time goal, you want to GET IT RIGHT, so you'll have a great life.

Simple starter-plan is.

Do 15-25 push-ups, 25-50 sit-ups, and 50-100 leg-raises every morning(before you wash-up, and get dressed), and every evening(before you go to bed) for 6 days a week.

That will raise your metabolic-baseline(how your body uses food), and it'll build your core-muscles.

For food, eat normally.

2-3 slices of bread, 1-2 with protein topping, 1-2 with sweet topping, for Breakfast.

For Tea, 1 cookie, with a drink(like tea, or coffee, or something similar).

2-3 slices of bread for lunch, like breakfast.

For Tea/Coffee again 1 cookie, with a drink. Maybe a yogurt, or smoothie.

Dinner, a full plate, half vegetables, quarter carbs, quarter protein.(with your 2nd dairy as desert).

And around 8 o'clock a snack, with a cup of tea, or coffee.

That is a basic diet, they give in hospitals to keep you lean, but well-nourished, so stick to that, and your body will also be willing to get lean.

ok well first of all if you want to lose weight fast then don't eat any fatty foods and drink lots of water, if you like chocolate then substitute it for hot chocolate...do this for a few weeks and you will see results, you should also do +-20 minutes of exercise a day or so
