When I started drinking only water and stopped eating junk food I lost 80 pounds. I still ate my regular meals. I am not lying.

I lost 143 lbs over 7 years ago and have kept it off-and I did it all naturally-no medical intervention! Since I was so overweight all I could do was walk. Forget about hardcore exercise! You need to take a 30min walk every night. Walk as fast as you can handle and move those arms! As far as food, all I did was cut out all fast food, junk food (snacks), soda and juice. Drink only water and unsweetened tea but mainly water!ALOT OF IT! Eat 5-6 times per day but very small meals. For instance here is a typical day back then for me: 6am-1 pack oatmeal and cup hot green tea. 9am- fat free cottage cheese and diced apple 12pm-chicken breast with salsa on top and piece whole grain bread 3pm-very small handful of almonds and raisins 6pm-chicken breast and small side salad with only lettuce tomatoes carrots and a fat free italian dressing. DRINK WATER THRU OUT THE DAY. If your anything like me I used to HATE water but as I made myself drink it- my body craved it! Still does! I am very proud of you for wanting to do this! As you begin to lose weight and fell better you will naturally start to change up your exercise routine as well-you will want the challenge as you begin to feel healthy and strong! At 31 years old now I feel healthier, sexier, and happier than I have ever felt in my whole life and let me tell you... I LOOK GREAT! GOOD LUCK- YOU CAN DO IT!

You shouldn't lose any real weight (fat or muscle) just water and waste.  You might temporarily lose pounds, but since it would be water you should look better over all.

If you are talking SHORT TERM, this two-week-long weight loss program will work. It has worked for me, for Renee Zellweger (after her Bridgett Jones movies) and for many others who need fast weight loss. Follow these steps religiously:\n\n1.Drink lots of fresh water every day using this formula: (your current weight) divided by 2 = ounces of water to consume each day. I like to drink room temperature water from a bottle because it’s easier to “chug.” I put four of the bottles on the kitchen counter and make sure they are all empty by the end of the day. Best to consume them throughout the day.\n\n2.Don’t drink any alcohol of caffeine. No soft drinks. Only green teas. REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY 14 DAYS. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR GOAL.\n\n3.Fast walk or run for at least 60 minutes each day. It’s best to exercise in the morning since it will rev up your metabolism and keep our calorie-burn rate high throughout the day. You can do this by walking in place, using a treadmill, or walking outside. Whatever works for you.\n\n4.Do at least 50 crunches each day. I break mine into 2 or 3 different sessions. Also, if I need to do 20 crunches, I play a little trick with my mind and I “pretend” I am going to count to 25. It’s amazing how this helps the body get to all of the crunches with the same intensity.\n\n5.Eat only fresh vegetables! This is the key to the whole thing. Eat as many as you want, but DON’T eat any of the following: starchy vegetables including potatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and the like. They will work against you. Limit carrots, snow peas, and other veggies that are high in sugar content. NO GRAINS. Just fresh vegetables. You can eat salads, stir-fries, steamed, etc. But this is at the heart of your success.\n\n6.Don’t eat anything after 7:00 p.m.\n\n7.Put photographs (from magazines) up all over your house of trim, fit women. They will serve as motivators.\n\n8.Several times each day – especially when you first get up and when you go to bed, say something like: “I am enjoying my weight of (your goal weight).” Put it in the present tense and say it many times – with feeling! This will affect your subconscious mind to help you achieve your goal. Also, post these words in the same places where you post the photographs.\n\nAlso, don’t be surprised if you start feeling better than you have felt in a long time. You will have more energy, most aches and pains will be gone, and your whole body will look brighter. One warning, early on your elimination will be a little “urgent.” You may have some cramping. But this will all go away soon. Your body is in a deep cleanse.

Don't drink anything else but water, even if it makes you pee alot. And try to walk as much as you can or keep yourself in constant motion even though sometimes you dont feel like it. But when you do it, don't over stress yourself. It worked for me and I lost 20 pounds in a month.

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.

Oh Hunny, I heard of that diet as well and it did NOt suggest that you drink a whole bottle it only said (1) TBLS. It has not been proven to burn fat but it will cleanse out her system, blood and toxins. Just let her know that the whole bottle is not required she will be hurting herslef instead of losing teh weight. Just let her know the correct way to take it (1) TBLS and it should be done no more than a week. Thee is no proven fact that it even works for weight loss but, it does have other beneifits such as clearing up acne, blood and toxins. But, I think a whole bottle is dangerous.

What you have been given is a snipet of how to use water therapeutically and this snipet of info does not explain correctly. "Water Therapy" is another load of rubbish that someone is making money from that has no results to back it up. these sorts of things give Natural Therapies a bad name and I am dead against them.\nIt is great to drink 2 LT of water...Daily,  not in 2 hours! That is not good for you. I bet you pissed a lot!! LOL!\nYou should not drink water before, during or immediately after a meal as it dilutes the digestive juices and makes digestion harder thus creating energy problems.\n\nWater is not toxic unless it contains toxins already.\n\nLarger intakes of water are suggested therapeutically by Naturopaths etc for aiding in detoxification programmes, but this is under supervision and for short periods only, not for prolonged periods. When I say larger, still not 2 Lt in 2 hours!\n\nIf you want to know about Natural healthcare then see your local Naturopath and get real advise my friend and save yourself the hassles.\n\nHope this has helped you.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

wow ten pounds in a week is not really safe... but you could just do a liquid diet for a week, sticking to mostly water,  juices, jello, broth...  take vitamins !!

It won't help you actually lose weight.  It just makes you lose excess water, which will only last the day.  \n\nWhat it will do is make your tummy look a little slimmer for a while, so if you know you're going to the beach tomorrow, wear it to bed, or wear it exercising.  It's just a quick, temporary fix.  I have one that I break out in "emergencies"  :)\n\nYou can lose a pound or two a week by just cutting back on calories and exercising every day.  A month is not too long to commit, especially for your wedding. This website has really helped me: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm\n\nI've lost 7 pounds (3 more to go!) just exercising 4 times a week and eating the number of calories it says I should.

Hey, we are on the same page. I'm 5'3'' and I weigh 125. I used to weigh 107...so I need to lose 18 pounds. I know this sounds crazy.....but I lose weight by eating one meal a day. I'll snack on fruits and veggies only. Limit your calorie intake. Your body burns about 10 times your weight. So right now, your burn about 1,140 calories in a day. There are 3000 calories in a pound. Slowly cut back your intake. I lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months doing this. Try eating about 500 calories a day. then youll burn about 600 calories a day + whatever excercise you do. But always snack on healthy foods throughout the day or else your metabolism with slow. NO SODAS.FRIES.CANDY! limit your bread and pasta/rice intake as well.

Hey Dale Im in the same predicament I am 260 and Im only 5'8 so I need to loose about 120 pounds.  Now tomorrow I am going to begin with my diet which includes counting calories under 1200 a day but you just need to make sure you eat three healthy meals a day and dont waste them with stupid stuff like sweets or eating fast food. I dont know how much exercise you get a week but try to get some walking, jogging and if possible about 15 minutes of aerobics every other day.  Its good that you quit the soda now make sure drinking lots of water....Good luck maybe we can motivate each other Richtorres_2000 IM

Go back to your meeting. There are people out there who can lose weight without support, I wasn't one of them, I suspect your not. If you think you've plateaued check your points again, look at your portion sizes and increase your water intake even if think you are drinking enough. Good luck.
