big meals every four hours will increase your metabolism.
Also dont eat right before bed.
Exercise just means elevate your heart rate. The higher you elevate it within reason, the longer it will be pumping hard and continue to lose calories. Elevating your heart rate for 30 minutes may mean just 5 minutes of intense exercise. No, you dont have to run. Dance, flap your arms, or just walk fast; anything that gets your heart rate to increase will make you burn calories faster. The more you do it throughout the day, the more calories burned. Stationary bicycles are usually the easiest since they're inexpensive and can be used indoors. Jump roping is very efficient but is heavier on the knees.
Make a blog on blogger, or a personal journal setting your current weight and goal. Try to make modest goals per month. Take pictures of yourself in anticipation of before and after. If you drink sugary stuff, find the amount of sugar in the drink and pour out the equivalent in sugar packets. Eat all the sugar, and ask yourself if it's worth drinking again.
