  None if your diet is spot on and you eat at a calorie deficit. If you eat 500 calories less a day then in 1 week you can lose a pound (1 pound = 3500 calories)
  
  At present you eat too much its as simple as that.
  
  Start reducing your in take starting with any crap foods you eat, chocs, crisps, fizzy drinks etc.
  
  Put a little cardio into the mix to help you create a large defect and also to aid fitness.

  If you want to do this in a proper way the best results you will obtain loosing not more than 2 lbs per week(I suggest 1lb).It will help you avoid yoyo dieting.First easy step to cut carbs is stop drinking coke etc.You cant count your cardio in minutes to measure weight lose. 1lb is about 4000kcal so it is equivalent of 8hours of moderated cardio but remember that reasonable diet is so important as training or even more

  You could try doing the atkins diet for 3 weeks and lose a stone or more (but I wouldn't recommend doing it for longer than that) and then carry on with a more healthy calorie controlled diet and cardio.

  Reduce fat and carbs, increase exercise, but take small steps and make them stick. Set yourself a goal, like a 10k or half marathon.

  I lost my weight mainly by changing what I eat (and what NOT to eat)
  
  Try "diet" I've tried:
  - breakfast - a must - this will give you energy to start the day - I tried musli with milk.
  - lunch - normal food - sandwich, fruits, salads, pasta.. whatever you want.
  - dinner - no later than 7pm. Anything healthy.
  - instead of going by bus/car - walk
  
  Now important bit:
  - NO fizzy drinks,
  - limit beer/cider
  - no sweets, crisps, snacks
  - no mcdonald, subway, other fast food
  - again - no food after 7pm
  - don't think you have to stop eating.. not enough food is bad, just don't eat rubbish stuff
  
  Don't need motivation for that.. just strong will! (I was fighting with myself not to eat peanut M&Ms ;))
  
  Good luck

  As most have said... snacks and takeaways are your nightmare
  
  But don't try to do all in one go - if you know you eat too much you need to gradually reduce how much you eat.
  
  If you know the amount of food intake is not excessive then it's a case of your eating the wrong foods.
  
  Any exercise is better than none and will help but again excessive exercise at the start will encourage hunger.
  
  Everything in moderation, a gradual decrease in calories and gradual increase in exercise will be more effective both short term and long term IMHO

  Trust me fella if you dont make a change it will keep adding on. I am now 16st and it is all down to snacks and takeaways as i drink about 3-4 units of alcohol a week. I have a lot of work ahead just to get to your weight. so let that be a lesson to you :) i am 5ft 10.
