The simplest thing you can do is this: go for a hard run(whatever your physical shape allows) for about 30 minutes 3 to 5 times a week. You might not want to start out trying to run 6 minute miles or anything, but you need to push yourself. Do a few minutes of non-intense crunches before and after the run. This will help tone your midsection, but more impotantly, will make your side-aches hurt less or go away completely. Eat bananas on a daily basis if you have a problem with cramps(Potassium > muscle cramps).

Running is the best way to lose weight, because anyone can do it, and if you push yourself you don't have to do it every day. It also really helps curb your appetite, especially for junk food. After a long run, the only thing I can think of is cooking a healthy meal. The idea of eating a bag of Doritos after a run would probably make me vomit(I have a somewhat weak stomach tho!). Remember, don't try to run a marathon. Work your way up to a pace that you can't maintain for more than an hour, and keep at it for about 20 minutes.
