You really should work something out on your own that will work for YOU. It'll never stick if you just follow a list that someone else has written for you. I suggest just working on the basics first. Slowly start replacing junk food with veggies and fruit, replacing soft drinks with water, and eat as consistantly as you can throughout the day (aka, dont skip breakfast and lunch and eat a huge dinner)

Everyone is different and you have to find something that'll work for you and your lifestyle. If you REALLY want a whole eating shedule planned out for you, I'm sure you can find one online. Just be selective and find one that makes sense to you.

As pixie said, the problem with someone else setting a schedule for you is that it doesn't help you to learn how to eat properly. Also, none of us know what your day is like - so we can't really tell you what to eat or when to eat it ... or when to exercise ... because we just don't know what your life is like.

Here's what I would suggest you start with - but working out the details of it is up to you ultimately (although I know we'll all be happy to help and answer questions).

You probably need to eat around 1500 calories to lose weight and be healthy. You need ot make sure that you're eating a good variety of lean protein, veggies, fruits, complex carbs (like whole grains, oats, etc.) and healthy fats (things like olive oil, avocado, almonds, etc.). You should try to break this out into at least 3 meals a day and maybe a snack or two. Some people do better eating a lot of little meals, and some people do better with a bunch of snacks and one big meal ... however you do it is fine.

On top of that you need to get in a combination of cardio exercise and strength building exercises. Cardio can be just about anything - walking, running, jumping rope, swimming, using an elliptical machine, riding a bike, etc. Try to get in 20-30 mins of this to the point that your heart rate is elevated and you're breathing hard (but not to the point that you're gasping for breath and in pain). Alternate days with a 30 minute workout that includes things like squats, lunges, pushups, chinups, dips, stepups, planks and so forth. There are a lot of good resources here for various bodyweight exercises and how to do them. Do some reading around on the site, especially the stickies, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Hope that helps give you someplace to start.
