1. Change your diet to include more protein, balanced between protein, carbs and fat. Eliminate all snacks(ie hohos, snickers, icecream) Allow yourself a cheat day 1 time a week don't gorge. Space out your meals from somewhere between 5-8 meals and snacks a day. You may be thinking, I am eating more, but having a balanced snack or meal every 3 hours will keep your metabolism reving, and keep the cortisol levels down. Hence you are burning more fat while keeping the precious muscle you've worked hard for.
2. Find a weight program that you can stick with. Weights will allow you to build muscle, and muscle burns more calories at rest.
..........................................................
Just concentrate on these two things above, as they will help you burn fat and build muscle alone. It has been proven that one does not need cardio to achieve a "thin" frame. But if you feel that your weight loss has hit a plateau after 3-6 weeks after religiously following these two things, then insert cardio slowly into you workouts.
3. Cardio, 1-2 weeks for 2 days/week 30 min session. 3-4 weeks 3-4days/week 30 min sessions 5-? weeks 3-4 30-60min sessions.
These things should be helpful. For more in depth on routines and diets see this sites pages.
Hope this helps.
