If your 5' 6" then 120lbs isn't bad at all. but if you really want to loose extra weight, not eating isn't the answer. Not eating actually makes you gain weight because your body will just be running on fluids. If that happens you'll start to retain water and bloat. Not good. Here's how to loose some extra weight a little at a time.\n\n1)Don't drink anything carbonated (ex. soda, beer)\n2)Don't eat any excess sugar, no candy.\n3)Don't snack, eat a big 3 meals a day\n4)Don't eat to much red meat, it takes a while to digest\n5)Drink TONS of water, this will flush you system of anything bad (this also improves complexion and hair)\n6)try to exercise as much as possible!!

20lbs in 6 weeks? sounds like a lot of people agree with that, and sure, you can do it! but theres a downside to that, a big downside, if you lose more than about 1 pound a week, you wont keep the weight off very long... thats simply because if you go on an extreme diet just to lose weight quickly, your not gonna stick with the diet... exercise is important, and f*ck that not lifting weights! in my opinion there is no such thing as a healthy weight, there are healthy body fat percents and such, but healthy weight? if you are 5'6 and 180lbs but in very good shape, slim, lots of muscle and stuff, you are technically over weight, but you're much healthier than you would be if you were the same height and weighed 10 pounds less but were chubby and out of shape... plus, for every pound of muscle you burn something like 30 more calories a day than you would otherwise... so really, do you want to lose pounds or inches? and do you want to lose it temporarly or permanently? personally, I'd chose inches and permanently...

try lifting weights. gaining some muscle raises the rate at which you burn calories, because it takes more energy to maintain muscle. and it will help you lose the weight.

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\n\nOn Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nThere is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs

Water is essential and many of the things available to drink these days have calories without any nutritional value, so sure . . . but 1200 calories a day for a 6 ft tall man is virtual starvation and that hope of fast results can be self-defeating.  It might help to eat this little for a short time now and then, but do it for very long and you will be ill.  Also, your body's famine survival mechanisms will kick in and fight to preserve fat for as long as possible - and will rush to restore body fat as soon as you eat more than this, which you will inevitably have to do.  You'll do better with a long-term moderate, healthy diet - plus the exercise you are doing, which is very important.

First thing first...Don't stress. Cut down on the junk food and start drinking a lot of water about 2 gallons a day. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours. Healthy meals with a lot of fruits and vegtables, not a lot of red meat of fat. Try eating more chicken(boiled, barbequed, broiled) also try eating salmon or any other low fat fish. If you do that combined with a jog or brisk walk everyday for an hour of would you rather go the gym 3-4 times a week for 2 hrs you will be skinny in no time. The weight will be melting off. You will probably lose anywhere from 5-10 pounds a week for the first couple of weeks. After that don't get discouraged because the wight wont be comming off so quickly but it will come off be patient and think positive. It won't be easy but it will work. "Nothing in life is easy, you have to work for what you want"

i'm in the same boat.  i need to lose 20 pounds by Jan 6th.  first of all you wont be able to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks.  the most you can lose is 5-10.  this is what my doctor is having me do - \nskip out any fast food, especially soda and fruit juice - switch to water and 1% milk.  eat lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts and lean meats like chicken, pork and shrimp and fish.  dont quit eating- you want to increase your metabolism by creating a good exercise routine and eating healthy foods for your body to burn.  doing so will make you leaner.  remember muscle is heavier than fat so your weight may or may not change, but you will look a lot more trim and your body will look more defined and sleeker...\n\ni got ankle weights and pilate stretchy thing at target for cheap.  i've been using it for about 2 week now.  i'm starting to lose my big butt and thighs.  This is my routine - \n\nWalk 15-30 min a day with ankle weights\nArm curls - twice a day (morning/evening) 10-15 each\nleg lifts - twice a day 8-10 each\n15 -20 sits ups - twice a day\ncardio work out - biking, treadmill, jogging,  etc - 2-3 times a week.

You don't mention your height or current weight, but my guess is you may not be eating enough for your body.  You could be going into starvation mode where your body will hold on to every single calorie, every single ounce.  I would suggest you shake it up a bit.  Try eating a bit more one day, exercising less another or skipping the exercise altogether for a day.  Change the types of foods you eat.  See if that helps you.  You could also talk to your doctor who'd be able to let you know more specifically why you're not losing.

I agree with the other answers, that you can not lose weight in a target area, but you can tone the muscles in that target area, and that can help decrease the number of inches there. So you could lose inches by doing some nautilius exercises for your thigh area.\n\n If you are 5'6" and weight 104 pounds, you are already very underweight, so it might not be a good idea to lose 5 pounds more! yikes! I think for your height, the normal weight range is 128 to 145 pounds - so 104 pounds is very underweight.

I'm 5'2" and weigh about 116 or 118 I don't look fat all I need is to work out. Your only 2" taller than me. and if your weigh is 116 then you probably look great, all you need is to do some exercise to tone up. Maybe you will loose a little weigh on the process (that doesn't hurt) but at the end you'll look better. In regards to a diet don't know of any and don't think you need one. Just do what my doctor said eat breakfast every day before 10a.m. which is the most important meal of the day and helps with the metabolism and something light in the evening and don't eat dinner past 9p.m. You'll look better in no time.

If you have 6 weeks to lose weight do it properly. Be careful cause if you lose too much weight the dress will not fit nicely. \n\nFor the next 6 weeks go on a 1200 calorie plan where you eat 5-6 small meals a day. Here is a menu plan to assist: \nBreak - cereal w skim (low go type please)\nSnack 1 - apple\nLunch - multigrain sandwich w 50g lean meat and salad only\nSnack 2 - low gi yogurt\ndinner - 120g lean meat grilled & green leafy vegetables\n\nDo not eat dinner after 6pm. Drink 3 litres of water. \n\nExercise - you need to do at least 6 sessions per week for 1.5 hours a day. I use the following: \n3 weight sessions - refer to www.bodybuilding.com \nNever do weights two days in a row. \n3 cardio sessions - running or spin or boxing\nIf your classes fall less than 1.5 hours do more cardio before and after. It is when your body is totally exhausted will you see some great results quickly. Go hard!\n\nNever eat carbs within 2 hours or within 1 hour after exercise. Plan your meals and be totally dedicated. You will get results within the first week of around 1kg min. You could lose up to 6-9kgs within this time frame. \n\nBe strong losing weight is a mental journey. Note that to maintain you need to continue exercising and go to 1500 cals per day but workout 3-4 times per week. Be careful it's really addictive!\n\nGood luck!

If you are trying to lose fat, you want both a low fat and low cal diet. Don't count on losing weight if you exercise though because you are likly to put on more pounds than you lose. \n\nIt takes around 500 calories to burn off one pound of fat, but fat is the last reserve of your body, so it takes a lot to get to it. \n\nTo get an estimate of how much you burn each day, consider that if you did nothing but sit, with some minimal walking, you would burn about 2000 calories. If you do the same thing, except for getting about 2 hours of heavy exercise, you'll burn about 3000 calories. You need about 2500 calories a day to avoid being hungery and to stay healthy.\n\nSo, a smart diet (around 2500 calories), and more than an hour of exercise daily, and you should slowly start seeing a difference. Don't expect it to go fast though. It takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to major changes in diet and exercise, and get to peak preformance.
