This site is really good for that: it's all about creating a calorie deficit. Calculate your BMI and FitClick will tell you how many calories you need to eat every day to lose a couple pounds a week. For example: to lose a pound a week, you need to know how many calories there are to a pound (approx. 3500.) So to lose that in a week, that's a deficit of 500 calories a day. If you eat 2000 calories per day, dropping down to 1500 calories per day will probably help you lose that pound per week. Exercise can help too, obviously, and you can lose 2-3 pounds per week if you incorporate exercise in with your diet. I workout 6 days a week for about an hour (cardio and strength training - both important for overall physical beautification!) and that increases my deficit to over 1000 calories per day, and therefore a couple pounds a week. Hope that helps.
