Slowly re-introduce some foods that you cut out of your diet to loose weight (but don't go overboard!).  Keep exercising.  20lbs in 2 weeks, what a great effort!  Good luck  :)

Well, if you are really serious about losing weight quickly, here are three easy steps you need to follow:\n\n1) Try a good cardio workout for about 30 to 45 minutes twice a day.  You can do this by running, biking, StairMaster, whatever you enjoy.  Keeping your heart rate up will help you burn calories and lose weight.\n  \n2) Strength training would also be a good idea, things like basic sit-ups, jumping jacks, deep knee bends, push-ups, some light weight lifting, etc.  These are activities that will help you build muscle, and muscle burns fat.  So, just do it!\n\n3) The third eat wisely!  Count calories and make sure you are not exceeding your recommended allowance.  Cut out all soda and sweets.  \n\n4) Drink plenty of fluid!  Doctor's recommend eight 8 oz. cups of water a day.  This is highly recommended if you are putting in the workouts described above.\n\nIf you can do these things religiously for a month, I am confident you will be able to lose 20 lbs or more in a month.  But you have to really dedicate yourself to it daily!\n\nBest of luck!

CRANK IT UP!!  20 min a day is crap.  Step it up a bit, go atleast 45 min of non stop cardio work outs.  Just 3 days a week will get u in shape.

Drink 6-8 glasses of  2 tbsp. lemonjuice\n                      2 tbsp. maple syrup\n                      and a pinch of cayanne\na day. I was able to do this for one month. It was awesome. It is the perfect cleanser, you get lots of energy, clarity, and the vanity part 20 lbs. less weight.\nyou have to want to do this. you have to commit. The results are wonderful. I was NEVER hungry, still had friends over and cooked for them and WATCHED. They were so amazed by me. Speed walk 3 miles, listen to good music. Be good to yourself. Good luck\nI do it once a yr. Maybe we should do it together.

Drink lots of water, no drinking pop or alcohol, no fat, no sugar or starches such as bread and pasta, just veggies a little fruit, very lean meat and take vitamins too. Exercise every day for a few hours such as running walking fast anything to make you sweat a little. Keep busy doing things - go to the mall, beach, dance, bike just move - no TV or to much Computer time! Do for a 2 weeks and you can should loose about 10 to 15 pounds. Oh and be happy and look your best - being stressed will not help with loosing weight at all.

You've got some serious work to do!  30 pounds in three months!  I believe it can be done, but let's get one thing straight...your goal is not to drop 30 pounds, it's to fit into that dress.  Remember that.  The scale might not be moving on your journey, but you may be loosing inches.  Keep track of both to combat discouragement.\n\nOK. Weight Loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise...give or take a few percentage points. If you eat whatever you want, and exercise a ton, thinking it's going to give you the body you want, it won't. Trust me, I've tried. Diet is the MOST important when you're trying to drop weight.\n\nCenter your diet around: Whole Grains (100% whole wheat bread, tortillas, etc.), colorful fruits and veggies (eat the rainbow), lean sources of proteins (eggs, poultry, lean beef), and healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, avocados, etc.). Avoid white foods like the plague: white flour, white sugar, white potatoes (have a sweet potato instead, more vitamins!), etc.\n\nAlso, be aware of how your food is cooked. Was there butter added? Was it fried? Is there added MSG or salt? You might be a pain when you go out to eat, but hey, it's your money!\n\nDiet comes down to calories in vs. calories out. It's that simple. That being said...eating small meals throughout the day keeps you from feeling deprived and you are less likely to get hungry and go on a binge.\n\nPlease don't think I'm discounting the importance of exercise. It will help you feel strong and more confidence, not to mention speed and retain your weight loss. Get moving! Make sure to get your heart rate up! And if you find something that you can enjoy, the better! Try step aerobics, a new sport, get out and play soccer with the kids. Schedule it into your schedule like a doctors appointment and DON'T MISS IT!\n\nShoot for 1-2 pounds a week. You can defiantly drop some pounds and get into that dress in a couple of months! But get started...the sooner, the better!\n\nHopefully this helps.

Ok you have around 4 months.. 16 weeks.. if you lose 1 - 2 lbs a week.. which is HEALTHY weight loss.. you'll be in great shape.\n\nYou can walk in your neighborhood.. or job.. do aerobics, etc.  Just watch your calorie intake.  Keep a food diary (and be honest) and it'll show you where you can shave off some calories.. like in uneeded non-diet sodas or junk food, etc.  \n\nYou'll make those 20 easy! :)

Its easy, follow a nice meal plan, do cardio, maybe some weights.\n\nLifting heavy is what gives you mass, if you lift to burn calories, but not gain muscle mass you will be fine.\n\nI wrote a book explaining how to lose 20lbs in 30 days. It may be of good use to you\ncheck it out or email me for ?'s\nemail matt@realfitnessresults.com

cut down on your intake.  cut your portions.  snack on veggies! drink a lot of water. check the labels of food before you buy it.  Drink at least 8 ozs of water before a meal or when you snakc. Do a daily calorie diary.  Work off more then you put in. walk, run, just get up and start moving.\nSo far I have lost 20lbs this way, and have another 100lbs to go.  I really hate raw carrots, but I hate being a fat cow more.  I would also suggest moving the scale into the kitchen, in front of the goody cabnit.. want to get something to eat.  Step on the scale... is it worth it?  thought not, eat a carrot!!\nP.S.  When drinking alot of water its a good idea to buy extra toilet paper.... as you will be "going" more.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight, but you probably can't lose 17 pounds in 2 weeks. You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast. This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.\n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with 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.

Yes you probably can lose 15 lbs in two months. In fact if you aren't doing anything already to lose weight, you have a better chance of losing that much IF YOU STICK TO A STRICT DIET. If you falter you will likely gain it all back quickly.\n\nYour best bet is to start going to the gym every day and alternating different cardio. Do 45 min of stairs one day and 1hr of treadmill or eliptical the next. Doing ab work (like crunches) will help firm your middle as well which will make you look lighter.\n\nSecondly you need to cut fatty foods and sugars out of your diet. Also go easy on the red meat. Start eating more vegetables and less steaks. Cut out all sweets and don't ever drink another regular soda. You should limit diet sodas too because they are very high in sodium. Try for iced tea if you like it, if not they make flavored water\n\nStep three: drink as much water as you can stand.\n\nstep four: don't cheat on your diet\n\ngood luck

first of all, forget what other people say, its OKAY! to lose 20 pounds in a month.  had to get that out of the way.  anyways, all you need is will power.  If you have junkfood in your house, throw it out, or give it to a neighbor.  Have someone go grocery shopping with you a couple of times.  It should help.  \nAnd remember: "Food is neither friend or foe." \n-Breanna Philips (me. hehe)\nDon't think of food as your friend, dont get attatched.  but dont hate it.  treat yourself every once in a while.  \n\nplus, you cant JUST diet.  You need to exercise.  I'd have to say that dieting is only 10% or 20% of it for most people.  Believing that you can succeed is part of it too.  It isnt just dieting, or dieting and exercising.  \n\nYOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!\n\nhope i've helped a bite ;) \nemail me if you'd like o_blondee@yahoo.com\n\n\nremember losing 20 pounds is okay! (as long as your not already 100)  :)  i've been studying to become a nutritionist, so i got to say that i know more than ATLEAST 1/2 the people here.

Well you left it a bit late! 2 weeks is not enough time to lose more than 5lb the sensible way. Just try to eat healthily, go mad at the gym for a couple of weeks and when you are on your cruise, make sure you take advantage of the exercise equipment and swimming pool! Good luck and have a good trip : )
