well im not overweight i was 125 but now im 120 im 5'3 what i have done was drink lots of water and eat half of what i normally eat, i also exercise with yoga areobics( u know the videos heh heh) i also walk/run on the trendmill if i run its for 8 min and walking i do for 30 min. whenever i am bored i read a book or play video games or exercise to get my mind of food. ppl say i lost waterweight but hey i dont care as long as im losing right : ). i also chew my food really slow and eat small portions this worked for me and hopefully this can work for you too.
