They both take a great amount of discipline. I think if would depend on how your brain is wired. I think the best place to learn a foreign language fast and have your diet controlled would be prison. Yeah, prison.
Are you kidding?
It is much easier to lose weight!
I have lost 20 pounds learning english!
I'd say it is a draw.
This is a great question and I think there should be a scientific study done on it.
Losing weight is easier than learning Spanish, unless you are menopausal, then it is impossible.
The road to weight loss is reversible. You can make progress one week, and lose it all the next.
Can anything you learn follow that discouraging a pattern?
Yeah, but... weight loss is finite. Eventually you reach your goal. It seems that this language I'm trying to conquer is infinite... the more I learn, the more I discover that I still don't know. :(
... maybe prison for a life sentence, Beatrice? 
I am with Ron on this. All the weight of the knowledge we gain one day, falls out by the next day. no gain no loss.

It probably depends on where you live. In the USA, losing weight is the most difficult due to the government´s blessing of garbage fed to the masses.
It depends from person to person because in the mist of all of life's other challenges and obligations, it takes dedication and prioritizing. I get up 1.5 hrs early so I can study spanish before school starts; and I go to the gym after school 4 times a week. Strength training gives me a burning, painful sensation of my muscles, and cardio pushes my stamina to the limit. On the other hand, spanish drills are "drilling a whole" in my mind! Not only do I have to remember the seemingly endless lexicon of verbs, nouns, conjunctions and idiomatic expressions, but I also have to be good enough to think of the word I want to say in the spur of the moment while in a conversation. Weighing these trials and tribulations, I have come to the conclusion that learning spanish is harder than losing weight; but if I keep working hard constantly each day, I will reach both of these goals.
Which is easier, now what is easier.

That is so true! I recently ate at the Hard Rock Cafe which provides the calorie count of all items on the menu. I'd say a good percentage of what was offered was only two to three hundred calories shy of what an individual should eat in an entire day! 
Anyway, maybe the best thing is to help out in an impoverished area of any English/Spanish speaking country (depending on the language you want to learn). With limited access to high calorie food, physical labor and total immersion, both can be accomplished. 
Losing weight is easy. I've lost at least 300 lbs in my life and gained just about every one of them back.
