Hello!  I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 years ago at 24!  My GP diagnosed me and told me that I was slightly outside the normal range.  I went to endocrinologists here and there to be sure everything was being done for me that was possible because I too, had gained weight and that caused me to be depressed.  I was always told if you want to lose weight, it's very simple, eat less or burn more calories.  I felt I was doing all I could.  I educated myself in nutrition and exercise.  I worked out at least 45 min to an hour four to five times a week and ate only whole grains, fresh fruit and veggies.  I cut out all the obvious fats like butter, mayo, salad dressings, creamy soups and sauces.  I quit eating candy, chocolate, pastries and ice cream.  I thought for sure it was just the disease I had and I had to learn to live with being 40 to 50 lbs heavier than I wanted to be.  Then, about two years ago, I separated from my husband and shed several dress sizes and approximately 35 lbs in three weeks from the stress.  By the time my divorce was final, I was down 15 lbs more...I wasn't eating much and when I did, I ate the wrong things.  I had abandoned my healthy lifestyle completely, I wasn't even exercising anymore.  It's been a year since and I have put about 10 to 15 lbs back on but I'm happy and living healthy and have been maintaining.  I went to another endocrinologist recently and he said, "no one ever said why your thyroid failed, we have no reason for it...we are going to find out."  After testing me, he found that there was no cause and believed that I had a "cold" of my thyroid, which I didn't even know was possible.  To be sure, I had to go off of my hormone suppliment and be rechecked.  Did it and he was right!  Your thyroid can get a "cold" and be dysfunctional temporarily.  Be sure your fiance gets checked by a good specialist on a regular basis and make sure she finds one that wants to find out what caused it to fail.  It's possible she has the same problem I had.  Also, have her check how many calories she is taking in per day, keep track and then figure out how much she is burning.  I found out that for my size, I can only take in about 1300 calories a day to maintain my weight because even with exercise, I'm not active enough.  She may think she is doing everything right and she may not be.  There could be another explaination for her weight gain.  I really think mine was because of depression (unhappy marriage).  Here's a link to a website that will allow her to figure out how many calories she burns doing different activities...right down to watching tv and sleeping!  \nhttp://www.healthstatus.com/cbc.html\nHave her go through it and then spend a week recording all of her caloric intake to compare.  Good luck and I hope some of this helped!

It's safest to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Therefore, you have about 15 weeks which could be 30 pounds. You need to make sure you eat enough calories a day (about 1500) and exercise. Don't cut out any food groups, just eat a balanced and healthy diet. Drink lots of water, too.

Congrats on making it this far.  I really don't see why you should need to lose that much more weight.  I'm the same height as you and 135 falls within my ideal weight range (something like 125 to 140 is ideal, if I remember correctly). So, at most you probably should only lose 10 more lbs, you don't want to be too skinny. Your body has probably just reached a plateau where the weight is going to come off more slowly now.  I'd suggest just going on a maintenance plan for now, then starting a diet again in a month or two.  This will allow your metabolism to regulate, then when you start dieting again the weight may come off easier.  Also, work on thinking of yourself as a beautiful person instead of nit picking about a little bit of chub here and there.  From your description, I'm sure you look great and just don't realize it.

I recommend counting calories to lose 2-3 pounds per week. See the link below on how to calculate appropriate calories. Add some walking for exercise and use a free online program like fitday.com to keep track of everything you eat and drink!  Good luck and congrats on your wedding!

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!

hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... and as general info... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run...\n\nAlso... Dont try short term diets...short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period ... Because of this , once you break your diet , you'll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in...\n\nThey also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day...\n\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something...

way too much to lose in a month! Eat in moderation, exercise, limit fat and calories.  You could lose up to 2 pounds a week and it would still be considered a healthy weight loss.  Join a weight loss club such as Weight Watchers and talk to your doctor about losing weight.

Okay, it's going to be nearly impossible to lose 15 pounds in a week with that amount of food intake. As for meals, they should consist mostly of steamed or raw vegetables with unsalted and unoiled nuts/beans for protein. The protein shouldn't be from cashews, pistachios, or butterbeans but healthy sources like kidney or black beans and peanuts, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Stay away from white starches(no potatoes). All carbohydrates should be from whole grains and there shouldn't be many of them. Snacks should be granola (without sugar or whole yogurt added) or fruit, nuts or raw vegetables (no dip!). The diet will be more effective if the first day is spent with a detoxifying diet (like a 24 hour diet of only organic fruit juices). Breakfast should be with hot water and lemon juice or hot green/white tea (no sugar or added milk) and a diet cereal (like Special K or Total). A cup of coffee would be okay if you skipped the sugar and milk. All milk should be skim. Caloric intake should be around 1800 calories or less per day. Exercise should be running (continuous) whether fast or slow for three miles or more.

Weeks.  You body would go into starvation mode and your metabolism would slow down to preserve body fat.  Its not healthy and I hope that you are not considering doing it...;

Yes, my fiance is 6'3" and weighs around 150 lbs. He's diabetic, and when he's upset he doesn't eat a lot. Not eating isn't good for his health 'cause of the diabetes, so I'm hoping that he'll really enjoy my cooking after we're married. I'm very pudgy, very very full hourglass figure, I look like the Pillsbury Dough GIrl. I hope some of it rubs off on him!

weight loss can never be fast... and try to do more cardio than weights... weights are for those who are already of normal weight...if you tone down your overweight fat , its not going to look good... first burn off your extra fat and then think of toning it... cardio excercise basically mean running , cycling , swimming and that kind of thing. do a lot of cardio and abs. Simple ab crunches are good. but more than anything you need to do atleast an hour of cardio everyday. and just working out and eatig everyhing you like will not do the trick. \n\nthere is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something...

Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. Anything over that and you will gain the weight right back when you stop the diet. For more information on healthy weight loss, visit http://straighthealth.com

Losing weight that fast isn't a good thing. If you lose it slowly, it stays off longer.\nIf you feel it works and isn't going to do you harm in the long term, good luck.

am not sure, but I don't think you could...  I suggest that you just do your thing, take less food do more physical activity and then, by the eight day just be happy with whatever amount of weight you lost.. Am sure, even a pound lost will be something rather than gaining one.  I am on a diet too.  I need to loose about 15lbs and I wish I could do it in one month.  I have been trying to loose weight for a month now.  I do tae bo and limit my food.  In about three weeks I just lost around 4.4 pounds tho there were days when I got tempted and failed my food diet... But that does not stop me from trying to still loose the 15 lbs I dream to shed.\n\nSo good luck to us... Keep in touch and pls inform me if ever you lose the 14 lbs in 8 days

hon you really can't lose water weight and it's not healthy to try to lose weight quickly. Don't worry about how you look and just try to have fun.
