A really easy, fast way to weight loss is walking a lot. If the other things you've tried haven't worked, or if the results aren't quite what you're looking for, try walking twice a day, every day.
This is the time of year when walking outdoors is easier. It's usually cooler, and less humid, but not so cold as winter.
Aim for walking 2 miles a day. One mile in the morning, and one in the afternoon.
Most people are notoriously bad about mental distance measurements, so I suggest using your car to stake out a full mile.
As an alternative, use the rough rule that most healthy adults walking a fairly brisk pace will walk at 3-4 miles per hour. So if you do a fast 20 minute walk, you've probably got your time in.
20 minutes is also good because most people can get their walking in during a break at work in the morning. Even better, probably, would be walking in the early morning before the day gets going (you're more likely to get it done) but some folks have trouble fitting that in.
Either way, get a mile in during the morning. Then aim for another mile in the afternoon or evening. When walking, breathe deeply and steadily. The results will surprise you.
