Ok I am not a health nut nor do I spend a lot of time in the gym. However no mater what poeple say about diets and any other quick fixes for weight. There are only 2 things you can do to lose weight and keep it off. First eat balanced meals. no that does not mean you have to stop eating desert just eat balanced servings of things. Second you must do cardio excersizes ie: swimming. biking, running, dancing, or anything that gets your heart rate up and keeps it up for a while. Doing these 2 things will lose weight. if you try to go to the gym and lift weight or anything that builds muscle you will actually gain weight because muscle weights more than fat. However I do not understand why everyone is so involved with weight loss. As long as you are healthy and feel comfortable you should be happy with yourself. That way others around you will be happy with you as well.

do HIIT. its not easy but you dont have to exercise for long periods of time. it turns your metabolism into a furnace and with a healthy diet plan the fat will melt off your body.

I've heard two jumping jacks burns one calorie. So If you did 500 a day for two weeks, you would lose one pound. Combining that with other exercises like running, jumping rope, hula hooping, etc. Would help a bunch. I did the jumping jacks things for a couple days but not the whole two weeks, and I did notice that I was hungrier than usual so I feel like that means my metabolism was higher. Doing HIIT burns fat fast (look up some HIIT workouts on pinterest, it's intervals on a treadmill) also zumba dvds are great, they're not too hard but it's a fun way to get in an hour of cardio. Cut your food intake a little, but not too much. Try and eat healthier than normal, limit to one junk food a day or less, and you'll notice a difference.

Well i think that first you have to have motivation. Then depending on what you want kind of things you like you can do exercises based on that. And then as you begin you can lower the calories that you take on or nah. Because you dont really have to you just probably have to work harder to lose weight.

Good for you for wanting to lose weight but why in such a hurry?

"Effective exercises" and "not too hard" AND "losing weight relatively quickly" don't make a sentence that makes much sense. Do you want to be lazy, or do you want to lose weight?

Running's a staple. Do a mile a day and you're going to work wonders. Dieting's lame.
