it starts the moment when you get off the internet

It takes first and foremost-TIME. You didn't put it on overnight and you will not overnight. Eat right, exercise, drink water, and cut down on the carbohydrates and sugars. Be sensible and patient. If you weigh 85 pounds, not until you die. 85 pounds could take a very long time to lose. Imagine, for every year it took to get 85 pounds overweight, it will probably take twice that long to lose.

depends on how you do it. you should consult a dietician before trying anything.

in how much time i'd go for pills

A big portion of this would depend on the person trying to lose the weight. If one were to really put their all into it, in my opinion, it can be done in a healthy manner in 6 to 8 months. it totally depends on what you do! if you only like run every day for an 30 minutes but don't change your other lifestyles, then you'll probably not get anywhere. you could also go like on a diet, like nutrisystem, jenny craig etc. or if you had like a workout machine like the bow-flex or something. you can watch like any channel, especially in mornings where they have a bunch of infomertials and you're bound to find a weight loss one.

Depends on what you are doing to cut calories.
1. Count your normal caloric intact for a week.
2. cut that by a percentage. Say 10%
3. Start an exercise program. Walking/jogging
4. If you use an electric blanket in the winter don't. Using one will put on ten pounds over the winter. Even if you do nothing different.
Drink water every time you are tempted to snack.
Following this program will help you loose one to two pounds/week.
Avoid empty calories. If you want chocolate eat peanut m & m's that way you get peanuts too.(protein)

It is impossible to tell how long it will take because everyone's genetics are different. Please read the recommendations below.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
