Well, to start with, be careful about losing that much weight in such a short time. You need to shoot for a more gradual weight loss. 1-2 pounds a week is a good goal.
Look at your eating habits. Look for the artificial things in your diet. Cut out excess sweets, sodas, etc. High-fat foods are gonna have to go, but take it slow.
Start a simple exercise program, and find a friend to help keep you motivated.
Most of all, do not give up! Keep at it and you will see results.
Feel free to ask any other questions you have, and good luck with the new healthier you!
