  Track everything that you eat for 1 week. Many people find themselves snacking mindlessly. Writing down the foods you eat can help you find patterns.

  Incorporate cardiovascular exercise into your daily routine. If you have not exercised before, you may want to begin with something simple like a walk around the neighborhood. Walking is a simple, low-impact workout that is great for hourglass types who want to lose weight.

  Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Though you do get some of your daily requirement from the food you eat, water is terrific for weight loss. It boosts your metabolism and helps your body process fiber.
