First off, that will not be easy. But it is achievable. You have to focus on changing the things that have made you overweight to begin with, and introduce some new things into your life as well. Think of weight loss not only as changing your appearance, but as changing your self-confidence, energy levels, and outlook on life. Once this idea is firmly fixed in your mind, you're ready.
The key to losing weight is expending more energy than you take in. That being said, you can't just stop eating: your metabolism (rate at which you burn calories just staying alive) slows down, your hair falls out, all sorts of nasty things happen. So focus on eating portion-controlled, healthy meals. Protein should be lean meat or fish about the size of a deck of cards. Veggies and fruit should make up most of the rest of your meals, and carbs (whole wheat stuff, grains) should make up the rest. Don't skip meals (especially breakfast) because this slows down your metabolism. If you eat somewhere between 1200-1500 calories a day, you should lose about a pound a week, even without exercise. (1 lb = 3500 calories).
Add exercise on top of this. First, do strength training exercises to build lean muscle (you won't bulk up) and eliminate the stored glycogen in your muscles which must be used before you can start burning fat. Do pushups, situps, free weights, any sort of resistance training. There are a lot of good websites with ideas out there, just google it. Then, do cardio - running and swimming are the best, biking or elliptical or rowing (if you have a body of water nearby) are also excellent. You're going to have to do 60-90 minutes of cardio that actually gets you huffing and puffing, working up a sweat, 5-7 days/week, in order to lose the amount of weight you're talking about. On top of strength training.
Now, with all that work on your body, be sure to be good to yourself. Eat lean protein (cottage cheese is good, milk, etc...) after a workout to help with muscle repair. Don't skimp on your meals, make sure you get 1200-1500 cals/day to keep your metabolism high and ensure that you're burning fat instead of muscle. And remember to take time to stretch, cool down, and center yourself. Consider yoga or something similar.
If you do these things, you'll see the weight come off, you'll see your energy skyrocket, your skin will have a healthier glow to it, and you'll feel great about yourself.
I hope this helps! Any other questions feel free to ask.

i dont know if thats possible..but the answer is simple. So simple..that people usually ignore it, and want something for nothing:
Eat healthy food...chew 25 times...savour the healthy food when you eat
excercise more...cardio...light weight training
remember..u get out..what you put in...if you put in hard work and effort..it will show :)
