You can't do that and be healthy.  Most of the weight you lost would have to be water weight and you'd put that right back on.  Good for you for not smoking, but now you need to start exercising.  Try setting smaller goals.

don't introduce crap into your body. just keep walking, maybe even putting some running in there too. watch your eating, your body will adjust soon, don't worry. In the end, after walking and running and quitting smoking...you will end up 1) being a non smoker 2) being the weight you want and 3) being in shape. It won't happen overnight though! Keep at it, and good luck!

Aim for 2lbs week, its better in the long run and more likely to stay off.  Reduce your food portions and increse exercise.  Drink plenty of water and try to eat high fibre foods....;

First of all, congratulations! I have recently quit smoking too, and am so proud of myself I haven't stepped on a scale! It is wonderful that you want to take care of your body in so many ways. It is very difficult to quit smoking, and I am so happy that you were able to accomplish such a task. What I reccomend for you is just a healthy, regular diet, and an exercise plan that fits you. Take a walk every day, and breathe in that fresh air, I bet you can smell better now!!! I love pilates, it is amazing for toning your muscles. Just replace fatty foods with fruits and vegetables. Don't drink your calories! Stay away from any sweetened beverages, such as pop and juice. I like yogurt, baby carrots, grapes, etc. because they are so portable. Do what makes you feel good. And congratulations again. Good luck with all that you do.

I'm always a big fan of exercise and diet instead of a fad.  Try to cut out on Fried Foods and fast food (subway and such is better than McD's if you have to.)  Eat breakfast so your metabolism kicks in early, don't eat after your final meal of the day (i.e. late at night), and drink water.  Just make yourself get in the habit of drinking it, even when you don't want to.    And MOST importantly, exercise.  At least get your heartrate to a level where it's hard to talk and exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 times a week.  Jogging, a stairstepper, eliptical machine, and such gym equipment is good because of the low joint impact if you're not used to excercising.  I still believe a good run outside can't be beat, especially with the warmer weather starting to set in most places.  With 38 days, you have the time to shed water weight and some real pounds.  It's not easy to do, but it's only going to be for 38 days!  You can do it!!\n\n(Something that I found works for me, but not everyone, is to make you last meal earlier in the evening (like 6-7ish) with no snacks afterwards a week or so before vacation. )

You've got a long life ahead of you, Lord willing, so plan for the long term.  Educate yourself about nutrition, and eat *good* food.  (Learn about organic food here, too.) Step one here is to get rid of the junk in your diet.  Step two -- which needs to come very quickly -- is to find good-quality nutrition that also tastes good.  You *have* to do this, or you won't sustain the change in your diet (this is a pressure release valve: if you don't do it, you get tired of eating things you don't like and go back to eating good-tasting junk).  Step three is to do a little judicious cheating.  This is MANDATORY; I'm really not kidding here.  Pick a day, even if it's just once a month, and on that day eat anything you want.  (This is another pressure-release valve.)  Don't worry about diet pills; you eat right and exercise and your body will do the rest for you.  And you'll feel better, too, because you won't have a bunch of chemicals floating around in your system, and you won't have to keep taking pills to keep the weight off.\n\nNow for the 'getting into shape' part.  You can't do that by changing your diet; I don't care how healthy you eat.  You've got to exercise.  If you're looking for a cheap routine, there are a number of sources online that give the details of the Five Tibetans.  You could do that once a day to start.  After a couple of weeks, bump it up to twice; after a couple more weeks, to three times.  Don't overdo it -- 3 reps each exercise is plenty to start with, and go slowly.  Don't force anything, especially anything involving your spine, or you'll hurt yourself (this is a Bad Thing, because if you're hurt, it's harder to exercise).  Pay particular attention to how each exercise works your breathing.  When you start, just move slowly through the exercise with your lungs in neutral and see what happens to your breath.  You should notice that some movements cause inhalation, and others compress your lungs and cause you to exhale.  Use that information -- breathe with the movements, not against them.  If you want better-quality instruction and have some money to spend, check out Steve Barnes' Five Minute Miracle.  If you want more variety, look into Scott Sonnon's Flow-Fit and Intu-Flow programs. (Intu-Flow will also get you started with weight training, which is a good thing for fat loss as well.)  All of these start easily enough to be accessible to just about anyone.  With any of these, set yourself a goal of learning at least one new thing a week about your body, and when you do, write it down.  This will become a journal of insights about you and how you work -- a great tool, and a great encouragement on the bad days.\n\nNow this last bit may be a little hard to hear, but pay attention because it's critical to your success.  Real change that lasts is rarely sudden. There are ways to drop lots of weight, very quickly,  but there is almost no way to drop weight quickly *and keep it off.*  Patient, steady progress will give you better results than 100% all-out effort that exhausts you after a month.  Changing overnight is like quitting smoking -- as Mark Twain said, "It's easy; I've done it hundreds of times."  But change that sticks is slower and more careful.  Take the time to find a way to really accept each little bit of change into your lifestyle.  You can't afford to ignore the 'growing pains' caused by the change.  Pay attention to the inconveniences that each change creates and do your best to eliminate them.  Pay attention to the feelings of resentment or deprivation that may crop up and find a way to alleviate them.  All of this is how you actually get the change to be a comfortable part of your normal life, and it's why lasting change takes so long.  Put in the effort; you'll be glad you did.\nThe core problem here is that human beings crave stability at every level of ou

I too am trying to quit smoking.  I was smoking full flavor 100's and smoking about 1 1/2 packs a day.  I have lowered to lights shorts and smoking now only about a 1/2 pack a day.  My suggestion would be not to grab a cig as soon as you get up in the morning and everytime you eat.  Try not to pick one up just because your bored or think you need one.  Wait until you just can't take it any more and you HAVE to have one.  Pay attention to how often you smoke.  If you just had a cigarette 30 minutes ago, make yourself wait another 30 minutes.  Also, set a goal that by a certain day you will be a non-smoker.  And write down the reasons that you want to quit.  Post the goals and reasons on the fridge or somewhere that will remind you constantly why you are doing it.  Good luck sweety!  You can do it!

I have lost 20 pounds in 40 days.  But I ate more thatn a slice of bread and water.  I would not advise doing that in order to lose weight.  go to like a 1200 calorie diet and make sure your getting veggies fruit and protein.

Losing weight fast eg. 20-30 lbs by August is a recipe for disaster. You'd be much better off to do it slowly, healthily and permanently.

Maybe, but youll die sooner if you dont stop. I know ppl who have quit smoking and they are still thin. You can lose weight, if you begin to gain. So dont let being worried about getting fat be your only priority. Stop smoking for you, life, and family. I hope you do. Take care and good luck.

Stop eating so much. Weigh the food you eat.\nCut out these things:\nNo Sugars, no carrotts, no fruit which has sugar in it.\nNo oils, other than Olive or coconut oils. \nDo not use any butter, margarine.\nDo 10 sit ups, fifteen times through out your day. \nDo 10 push ups, fifteen times a day.\nDo 10 squats, fifteen times a day.\ndo all this for 5 days a week. \nOn friday, you can eat what ever you want to, in moderation.\n\nThis should make you feel much better in three weeks.

Here’s a quick way to loose weight - though 2 weeks is pushing it, but this plan might make you loose 10 pounds realistically. I can tell you right now that unless you suck the fat out. There’s no way you can loose 35 in 2 weeks. 10 might be an ideal goal\n\nDisclaimer: This is just my theory I am not a trainer or a food/diet professional of any kind\n\n1. If you want to loose weight fast, and in a short amount of time you’re going to have to go with diet pills. Yes there is a high chance of risks, but some of them do work out there. Though i wouldn’t recommend it, because once you’re off them you weight returns!\n\n2. You want to eat about 4 - 6 times a day. But then you ask? Why eat? The more i eat the more there is to burn off? Well, that’s not true - as you might of heard, some people say - "the more you eat, the faster the metabolism." This is true. If you think about it, when you do eat your body says:\n\n"Hey i don’t think were going to get food (energy) anytime soon, so lets store whatever we have"\n\nNow when you do eat your body thinks:\n\n"Wow were getting a lot of energy here, and on a consist basis, i dont think we need to keep all this energy (fat)."\n\nThats why people say eat 4 - 6 times a day with SMALL portion meals.\n\nAlso, a sample diet would be only stuff at subway – Stay away from the sandwiches (carbs.) Do only there wraps and salads. For protein add a hard boiled egg once and a while or tuna.\n\n3. You want to have the heavy stuff in the morning and ease it out through the day. Trying having a big breakfast and small dinner or if you can have 4 400 calorie or 5 300 calorie type meals throughout the day. Also, try having fruit in the morning since some fruit have high sugar content.\n\n4. Exercise - Yup, there’s no way around this. You HAVE to exercise. If any exercise, at all at least 40 - 45 minutes of “sweating cardio” a day (6 times a week – give your body 1 day to cool down and rebuild.) Remember that nothing at the gym will help you burn fat except for cardio. Muscle (lean) will help with the process of burning fat, but the real key here is CARDIO! You want to burn at least 100 calories every 10 minutes. So, if you do a 45 minute workout (with a 5 minute cool down) your target calorie count should be 500, but if you want to loose weight fast – I say you turn it up a notch!\n\n5. Mental – Keep yourself stress free, 5 – 10% of all body fat is caused by stress and your living habits. Get plenty of sleep, smile and be friendly. A positive attitude is a great start on a way to a healthy and happy life style.\n\nI hope this helps and good luck!
