What's the most effective way to lose weight?

eat right and exercise, drink plenty of water. if that fails, starve yourself.

just eat smaller portions. Also don't eat much at night. :)

And snort cocaine.

Eat right, exercise, and always carry a water bottle with you wherver you go. (Including class) It gets you to drink more water and I will drink a lot when I am sitting in a boring class.

You want to give your food time to digest before you go to bed because your metabolism slows down when you go to sleep.

Thanks you all (that was bad english).
I actually just got a call fromt the director and I am not in the underwear wearing play, but another one. However, I still am going to get super sexy with all of your fine suggestions.

When you say exercise, what kind of exercise are you doing? Perhaps you want to explore a more intense and regular workout regimen in addition to moderation w/ respect to your diet. Also, watch your alcohol intake.

I don't drink alcohol. I don't ever eat late at night. At the gym I usually run a mile on the treadmill and work on my abs and stuff with all sorts of situps and things.

Now I am pissed, I was told to not eat after 7 and they just called me for dinner.

Also a cardinal rule of dieting... Make sure there is room in your diet for at least a little bit of leeway. One piece of chocolae cake a weekisn't going to kill you. LF I'm sure you'll be fine as you probably go to bed later than the averge individual.

"However, I still am going to get super sexy with all of your fine suggestions."

You already are super sexy. This diet will make you irresistable. Another suggestion is to take up marathoning. That will get you skinny but you get to eat more. Of course I was already skinny when I started running now everyone tells me I look unhealthy!
Actually you replace it with muscle so you probably wouldn't lose too much weight.

According to Romy and Michelle, "Getting Mono was like, the best diet ever".

Barring that, maybe Mexican well water?

But thanks to everyone who commented because I myself am preparing for bikini season.

I'm just going to echo the smaller portions comment that a couple of others have made. I've lost some weight at school (go figure, since most people usually put on a few lbs at school) and I think a lot of that has to do w/ the fact that I'm eating smaller portions. I'm eating a lot of the same food I'd eat at school (usually a bowl of cereal or yogurt for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a piece of chicken, some rice, and two different veggies for dinner) that I would usually eat when I was living at home. The main difference is that I'm eating smaller portions (much closer to what the recommended portion sizes probably are) since I'm a strapped for cash/short on time college student. I'll get a package of chicken breasts and cook it at the beginning of the week and that, along w/ a box of rice, a head of broccoli, and a lb of carrots will last for most of the week. Sure, it totally gets old after a while, but I've slimmed down quite a bit w/ this routine.

I always hated the "Not after 7pm" rule. I don't start eating during the day until about 1pm and eat dinner after 7pm almost every night. I don't even go to bed until like 3-4am, so if I eat something at 9pm, it probably isn't going to make a difference.
