The absolute best exercise plan of all time is still............to eat right and exercise. When somebody ask me thats what I tell them, even though they don't always believe it. When I started many moons ago I remember looseing around 25 pounds in around 40 days. For my diet I just whent by the food pyrmid and ate the lowest amount that each catagory called for. I closely monitered my weight and body fat and when I got to where I wanted it I increased my deit to mantain a equilibrium where I would gain muscle, but keep my body fat steady. If you are going to take exerciseing seriously though once you get around 10% body fat, you might find it hard to lose much more, although a non athalite isn't suppost to drop below that anyhow. When I reached that mark it go exponentaly harder to lose more fat.
For exersise I go in a three day cycle where I work out my entire upper body, then my entire lower body, then cardiovascular on the third day, although I now do cardio almost every day also. One of the hardest part is actually doing it in a routine you planed on doing in the first place. When you are pumped about doing it when you first start its easy, its weeks later when you get out of bed and the last thing in the world you want to do is exercise, thats when its hard. Just remember however much your brain tells you that it dosn't want to do it, ignore it and drag yourself up and get out there and do it.
(note I am not a nutritionist or a personal trainer or anything this is just what I did that worked, what you do will probably need to be different.)
Also, most people really miss the food. Eating what your suppost to and still feeling hungry sucks, but stick with it. Not eating all the foods that you once did, or as much as you did before is the worst part of a healty lifestile for a lot of people.
As far as exercising I found the abdominal exercises the worst, followed by the cardio. After a time everything gets easier though. Thats part of the reason I do cardio every day now, and seeing yourself breaze though stuff you found impossible before is a good feeling.
Best of luck and remember to save up some money for new jeans, otherwise you might go around looking like your wearing parachute pants tied to the waist with a belt like I did.
