Eat 100 calories: a day less than usual= loss of 1 pound/month that equals 1 piece of bread, or its equivalent from your usual intake

Success on losing: weight.... several studies show better than 60%. Keeping the weight off for a year 5 to 10%. Furthermore, weight varies in normal individuals 1-2 pounds due to hydration and when you've last gone to the bathroom, not to mention how you measure it. Daily exercise to get heart rate about 120 for 30 min, (about 100-200c)some barbells so muscle isn't lost , avoid empty calories (alcohol/soda/fast food

2 pounds overweight: That may not be significant as your ideal body weight could be adjusted for your built and origin. Depending on your height and body composition it may not be necesary. However a diet low in high index carbs, high in vegetables, lean meat or fish and good fat will help in weight loss coupled with exercise and adequate sleep
