It's best to aim for 1 - 2 pounds of weight loss per week.  So in 16 weeks, 30 pounds is possible, but it is aggressive.  You'll need a weekly calorie deficit of 7000 calories to lose 2 pounds per week, which is 1000 calories daily.  To do that, you could eat about 500 less calories and burn 500 calories by exercising.\n\nFor specific suggestions about what to eat and what kind of exercise to do, I recommend the Spark People website http://www.sparkpeople.com  It's  free website--you just need to sign up.  They have meal plan suggestions and exercise suggestions.\n\nOh, and best wishes on the wedding!

Try South Beach Diet. I lost 30 pounds on it in 2.5 months. The key is really reducing your cravings for junk and eating smaller portions, and it helps with that. Be sure to exercise while doing it though, because the low amount of carbs can eat away at your muscle and make you very weak.

Of course you will. Stress sometimes does that to you. Just give it a go, and you'll get back to your normal weight in time.

Working out for about three hours every other day for three months I gained twenty two pounds!\n So I say yes you can gain thirty pounds in six months.\n It would really help and be safer if you to have a workout partner for spotting and support.\n Good luck!

Losing 25 pounds in 2 months isn't healthy.  You should lose 1-2 pounds a week to do it in a healthy way and have better luck keeping it off.  Eat healthy foods...stuff that's not processed...the more it's processed, the more crap that is put in your body that you don't need.  As far as exercise, shoot for 1 hour a day 5-6 days a week and I was always told by a personal trainer that to lose weight steadily, you need to walk 3 miles a day..that should take about 45 minutes, or that should be your target anyways.  Also, do some weight training..there's all sorts of things to do there.  Your best bet is to join a gym and use their equipment and most gyms have people there that will show you how to use the equipment and give you advice on how to do it.

Congratulations on your engagement.  Being 15 lbs overweight with 9 months or so to lose it is a weight loss expert dream because that's easy.\n\nEveryone says they eat pretty healthy and I'm not knocking you and saying you don't but what is your definition of eating healthy? That might be something you want to evalaute.  But my personal guess is that it's not so much your eating that's the issue but it's the workouts you're doing that will make or break your goal of looking great for your wedding.\n\nThe best suggestion I can tell you is to do total body weight training. Do not divide your days up and do chest one day, arms the next day.  This will not help you tone up as quickly as possible.  You're much better off either training the entire body 3 times per week with a day of rest between each OR you can workout 4 times a week where you work your upper body and lower body on different days.\n\nAs far as the best time to workout, the answer is simple. Whenever you can get it in is the best time.  It does not matter if it's morning, empty stomach, full stomach, calories are calories and whether you workout before eating anything or after the caloric difference is not enough for you to make that change.  But if it's best for you to workout first thing in the morning there's no issue with that either.\n\nWhen it comes to your side aches, I'm guessing since you probably aren't an avid runner that your body just cannot take the impact of running just yet.  I would opt to use the elliptical machine and alternate the intensity levels up and down for 30 minutes.\n\nIf you want to know more about what to do the best answer is my free newsletter. It won't be free for long so I suggest you get to it.\nI reveal strategies to drop weight in there that I'm sure you'll enjoy and your future partner in life will also.\n\nhttp://4evertoned.com/newsletter.html

No, you are in the healthy weight range.  Don't be hung up on weight, just enjoy life and be happy!

You're not grossly overweight really are you? And I'm not just saying that to be nice.\n\nIf you loose weight too quickly, you'll only end up putting it all back on & will have to do it all over again! I can understand that you've given yourself a deadline, but why the hell didn't you start dieting months ago, rather than leaving it till the last week???\n\nThe only sure way to loose weight, is to eat healthily - plenty of veg (especially green veg), at lest 5 portions of fruit & a small balance of lean meat, bread & potatoes etc per day. Also, drink at least 4 litres of fluid per day, preferably water. You also need to excercise - swimming is great coz it works your whole body, but any kind of excercise is good for you, providing that you do a minimum of 30 minutes every other day & that it leaves you slightly out of breath afterwards.\n\nYou'll find that you will loose weight faster in the first 2 weeks than the rest of the time that you diet, coz you also loose a fair amount of body fluid aswell at first, so you should go to the toilet a bit more often.

No matter what anyone says or what all those money making gimmicks say, the best and healthiest way to lose weight is EXERCISE and GOOD EATING.  YOu have a fair amount of time so instead of worrying about dieting and short term results, instead, why not make it a goal to live a healthier lifestyle which will stick with you after you lose weight and after the vacation/wedding and will make you a healthy person (which has its pay offs i.e. longer life) in general.  This means eating well balanced meals (not crappy junk food (though once in awhile won't kill you)).  Most importantly, exercise has so much to do with health - physical, mental, emotional health.  There is an infinite number of pay backs from exercising from losing weight to better sleep to regulated periods, to better skin, to feeling good, to better childbearing, and on and on.  so make it a goal to change your lifestyle to become a healthy person.  stop buying junk food and stock up on grains, fruits and veggies, yogurt, chicken and fish, etc.  That way, not only will you look good on vacation/wedding but for life.

I, too, am 21 and i have lost about 20-25 pounds in apporximately six months. I've had no problem extra skin. If you want to lose 30 pounds, i wouldnt worry about excess skin. Youre young and your skin will bounce back. Especially if you lose weight in a healthy and timely manner. To avoid anykind of sagging skin, try drinking a lot of water to keep your skin hydrated so that, while you lose weight, it'll keep it's elasticity and wont sag.\nGood Luck!

You can likely lose about 10 pounds.  Make sure you are taking vitamin supplements or you will feel like crap.\n\nDon't try to do too much right before your wedding.  Even though it's a good thing, it's still a VERY stressful time.  Stress will lower your body's resistance to disease.  Combine that with a month of malnutrition, and you may end up spending your wedding night in an ER after you collapse.\n\nInstead of a fad diet, try lowering your caloric intake to about 1000-1200 cal per day, and exercise.  Eat things that don't come in packages - fruit, vegetables, etc. - and you will look good and feel good too.\n\nBest wishes for your upcoming wedding!

There is no way to lose that much weight in that period of time that doesn't involve removing something.  If you try a fad diet, or starvation, all that will happen is you will make yourself too ill to go on the trip and may end up in the hospital.  Better to sensibly diet to lose around 10, and buy a girdle, if you are really thinking your appearance is more important that the pleasure of your presence.  Otherwise,go as you are.  I'm sure they won't mind at all.

that's GREAT! most doctors recommend losing 4 lbs in one month! so you can loose up to 8 lbs in 2 months and still be healthy. Just make sure you're on some type of multi vitamins!  If your a woman...take womens one a day!  If your a man take mens one a day! Works great!\n\nAlso work out 30 mins 5 days a week!!

Losing 28 pounds safely and permanently should take at least 3 months (2 pounds/week), and VERY few people can do that without gaining it back. That would be a very unusual pace. \n\nMore common is the 1 pound/week pace, which puts 28 pounds at about 6 months. \n\nOf course, all this depends on how overweight you are. If they're your LAST 28 pounds, it's much more difficult that the first 28 pounds. \n\nBe patient. Do it right. Diet and exercise.
