It's not an impossible question! Here's a quick answer with some of the things that worked for me:\n\nCut back on sugars, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods. If you drink sodas or juice, replace them with water only. Eat frequently (6 small meals/snacks a day is better than 3 larger ones - DO NOT SKIP MEALS - this screws up your blood sugar metabolism and hampers weight loss progress).\n\nExercise. You don't need a lot of time to do this. You don't need to go to the gym for an hour every day. There are easy, quick, simple exercises you can do right at home. Run up and down the stairs for a couple minutes. Jumprope. Do abdominal exercises or pushups. This helps you gain muscle which burns fat (more muscle = you can eat more each day and not get fat). Just take a couple minutes as often a day as you have the time and fit these things in. It's not hard to do and you will see results. At the very least, do everyday things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther from the store, maybe even riding your bike somewhere instead of driving in good weather.\n\nIf you'd like some reading material about fitness, exercise, and eating right, check out this site. You'll find some fantastic advice from another woman about getting in shape. She also offers some good advice on what you should be eating (I know I didn't go into many specifics here - click eating and dieting 101).\nhttp://www.stumptuous.com/cms/index.php\n\nBy the way, don't worry so much about losing 15 pounds. If you're exercising, especially doing a lot of weight bearing/muscle building exercise, you might not lose weight right away, but you will lose fat, fit smaller clothes, and look better.

PLEASE read ALL of this. its very correct info and WILL help you.\n\ndont try to loose it fast. please. if you do, it is usually unhealthy and you will gain it back.\n\nyou cannot "spot reduce". its just not possible. maybe spot tone.. like tone up your calfs or whatever.. but spot reduction isnt possible [w/out lipo and other surgeries]\n\nwhen you loose weight, it comes off everywhere, and very slowly. dont give up.\n\ntake time and read all these articles [it might take a while but its totally worth it.]\n\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-Effectively-and-Safely\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-Without-Going-Hungry\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-5-Pounds-in-5-Weeks\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Start-Walking-for-Exercise\n[there are many more articles also]\n\nnow heres what i say:\n- eat less and more often [like every 3 hours, eat 200-300 calories]\n- drink plenty of water\n- walk. alot. [then once you are able to walk alot w/out getting tired, try running or other things]\n- dont starve yourself. dont go on those fad diets [lose 10 pounds in 5 days!! etc] you will just gain the weight back.\n- after you lose the weight, keep eating healthy and excersizing. it CAN come back.\n- alcohol is empty calories. dont drink.\n\n\nthats all i can think of for now.\n\nif you do all those things i said and what is in those weibsites and it still doesnt work, buy this book:\n\n-title: YOU: the owners Manual. \n-author: Micheal F. Roizen & Mehmet C. Oz \nit teaches you all about your body, health, excersize, the healthy way to do things, everything. i learned soooo much form it. even for non-overweight people it is a great book to have.\n\nalso knowing your blood type will help you figure out which foods are good & bad for you. i dont know what the book is called but im sure you could go to a popular book store or a health store and ask them about it. It just tells you about what foods are good and bad for you for each bloodtype, and many other things about it too. its a great book sorry i dont know the name.\n\n\n\nremember: read all those articles in the links. they will truly help. and dont give up. it will probably be really hard.\n\n\n\nPS. \nyou shouldnt do "juice/liquid" diets. they supposedly clean out your intestines, liver, etc. BUT, the truth is, is that those things clean themselves. honestly. The liver is your cleaning system for your body, skipping meals and only drinking liquid wont help. trust me. im well informed.\n\n\nhope i helped! you dont need luck- i know you can do it.

Exercise and diet together usually work the best. Have you had a physical lately? Perhaps your doctor can give you some insights on your weight fluctuation--15 lbs from one week to the next is quite high. Are you succeptible (sp?) to water retention? \n\nOne of my doctors mentioned recently that accountability is a big help when trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Have you tried joining Weight Watchers? Having the weekly meetings and weigh-ins is helpful to many. There are also a number of online groups, message boards, and websites that offer ideas and support.\n\nTime and consistency are also important. It may have taken you a while to put the weight on, and it may take you a while to take it off.

Remember when considering any of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions... if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 if you want some aggressive but realistic suggestions for improving fitness.\n\nAloha

There is no "quick" way to lose weight. Everyone has a different body type and different metabolic speeds so what works for you might not work another. With that in mind, walking or light running combined with a sensible diet should produce results in a matter of weeks.

How quickly do you need to loose this weight?  My advice, is to first speak to a Dr. or nutritionist.\nBut, this is what has worked for me:\nI just purchased something called CLA from GNC.  The long name is Conjugated Linoleic Acid.  Basically what it does is turn fat from foods into a form of energy, such as glucose.  It has shown to help Type 2 Diabetes, build immune systems, help weightloss, protect against some cancers, and in some cases improve heart health.  Unfortunately, I have also read that it's not great for those with bad cholesterol.\nIt has helped me.  I've lost about 2 lbs. a week over the last couple of weeks.\nAlso, don't eat less, just eat better.  Cut out preservatives, nitrates, nitrites, salt, trans fat (anything that says  partially hydrogenated), High Frutose Corn Syrup, and soda (especially Diet sodas)etc...  Try organic foods, if you don't already.  Eat lean proteins and whatever you do, don't cut the carbs.  It's brain food and our bodies need it.  \nHonestly, I lost 65 lbs in 6 months just by eating better and taking walks.  Walking is the most effective exercise for weight loss and maintenance.  If the weather isn't good where you live, try turning your housework into a work out.\nSorry it's so long winded.  I hope it helps a bit.

YES AND IT SUCKED. I very STRONGLY advise you not to use diet pills in general, but Trim Spa I think is one of the worse ones. I tried it once and it made me sick for about a day. They say that the feeling only lasts for a day or so, and then you get used to it, but that is obviously not natural. If your body has a bad reaction then it's obviously not healthy for you in any way. Medications effect people differently however, and some people have felt no complications at all. But why take the risk of feeling bad and/or the obvious risk diet pills have for your health anyway? The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat right, sorry to break it to you. But it's really not so hard to eat better once you start exercising. Exercise is the first step, and your exercise doesn't have to be as strenuous as some people say it is. It can actually be fun if you just find some way to make it fun for you and find a way to stick to it. You have to believe in yourself and know you have the power, and know you're WORTH it. You are strong. I am currently going to Curves, and surprisingly it's not that expensive and it's a pretty easy and very effective workout! I only pay 29$ a month. All in all it's great! Just a suggestion, if you're a woman that is...wow, this was a rather long answer on my part :)!

The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you. Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course. Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day. This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal. It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation. More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

At 15 your body is still developing and growing so it's important to eat the healthiest foods available - and that's not always easy!\n\nWeight goes on easy but comes off slow.  3500 calories equals one pound, so to lose one pound in one week you would need to burn 500 calories each day more than you consume.  Over all, no more than 1-2 pounds loss per week is recommended, and it would be a good idea to consult your physician to discuss a plan.  Walking for 30 minutes a day is also helpful, and for toning try something like pilates or yoga.\n\nFor eating, have healthy snacks ready to go.  A bag of carrots, low fat popcorn, etc.  Maybe it would be good to have sugar free gum or hard candy for those times you just feel like munching.  I also found it helpful to brush my teeth when I want to munch because food tastes awful after that.\n\nIf you cut back too much your body will think it's starving and slow down metabolism - exactly what you don't want.  Make sure to eat enough healthy foods so that your body has the energy it needs to function and then that won't happen.

Sure. That is easy.  I cut out all sugar, white flour, anything with corn syrup,  and ALL processed foods!  I lost 30 lbs. eating this way without exercise.  Taking care of kids all day, and cleaning house is exhausting enough! If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it.  This will force you to eat VERY healthy, and the weight will fly off! You don't have to count calories.  Just eat when you are hungry.  Increase your dairy intake (studies have shown that it helps burn fat).  Important tip:  Shop only on the OUTER rim of the supermarket!  Switch to organic foods whenever possible.  This will help your body get rid of toxins.  You'll look better, feel healthier, AND lose weight!

Seriously, cut off some arms and/or legs.It is truly the quickest,most effective way. Also, it's easy to keep the weight off. :)  Good Luck

I have tried Hydroxycut and lost 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks.  The pharmacy ran out of that stuff and now I am on TrimSpa.  With Hydroxycut though I gained muscle as it enhances what ever muscle you already have.\n\nBut that's if you're into taking pills.  If you're not a pill popping person, then I recommend that you keep doing what your doing- it's just takes longer because your body is still trying to break down the stuff that is left behind.  Congrats though on losing 50 lbs- that's great!!!!

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

HOLY COW!!! 50 kilos in three months???? Wanna share your secret? PLEASE?!?! Lol. Well such fast weight loss will naturally have an impact on the tightness of your skin. I guess surgery would be a preferable option but maybe it's a bit extreme. I dunno, perhaps excercise to get some muscles and to tone that excess flabbiness. Otherwise, good job again!!

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

There is no quick if you want healthy.  if you loose more than 2-3 lbs a week you are loosing unhealthy weight.  Usually just water, or muscle.  The only way to loose weight is to use more than you eat.  Yep, that means you gotta exercise.  Even if its walking instead of driving to the corner store, it adds up.  Try to stick with a balanced diet.  It's kinda hard trying to loose weight, but I'd recomend sticking with carbs.  Less fat and health risks.  That adkins thing, I'm iffy on.  Plus carbs help you feel full better than protein.  If you got a sweet tooth, try fruit.  It's sweet enough to curb a lot of cravings and low in calories.  A web search will get you a nutrition guide to the best fruits to eat.  Most are less than 100 calories so you can eat a lot.  And watch what you drink.  Sodas and juices have a lot of calories.  If you can cut that out, you might be able to make the calorie deficit you need.  That's all it takes for me.  Water gets boring fast, but there is a lot of 10 cal. mixes at the grocery store to give you flavor with out adding the other 160 calories.  Good luck.
