My top 5.

My top 5 weight lose tips:

1.  Drink more water.
This should go with out saying. 

2.  Exercise every day.
Yes, this means everyday.  Walk, run, bike, yoga, strength training, at least 20 minutes everyday.

3.  Eat more vegetables.
 My opinion, we all need to work on this.  Vegetables are typically low in fat and calories, with many other health benefits.  Try to choose vegetable rich in color, and keep a good balanced nutritional plan.

4.  At least 4 day of aerobic activity.
Different then exercise everyday, but counted as your exercise for the day.  

aerobic exercise,
any physical exercise that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet the striated muscles' increased demand for oxygen. Aerobic exercise increases the breathing rate and ultimately raises heart and lung efficiency. Prolonged aerobic exercise (at least 20 minutes three times a week) is recommended for the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, jogging, swimming, and vigorous dancing or cycling. Also called aerobicsCompare anaerobic exerciseSee alsoactive exercisepassive exercise.

5. Limit refined foods.
I'll stay here for a second, not only candy and donuts:
Yep this counts as refined food.  If you can store it almost indefinitely, probably not that good for you.  Most likely high calories, fat, and not that much nutritional value.  
Eat to live, not live to eat.

Just my opinion, take as you will. Be great today.
