How tall are you?  If you are about 5' 5" or taller, you probably don't need to lose any weight.\n\nEdited to add--\nI just looked at your first question and see you are 5' 5 1/2".  So, you really don't need to lose any weight.

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.

Can't be done.  12 pounds is your MAXIMUM safe weight loss per month.\n\nCreate a long-term plan for youself.  Change the BALANCE of your diet - you like ice cream, OK, but just one NORMAL portion in a day, and the rest of your intake balanced between protein, vegetables, and UNsaturated fats.  AND EXERCISE - just walk 30 minutes every day... split it up into 15 minutes morning and 15 minutes night if you want to.\n\nBe healthy, it will come off if you respect yourself enough to make it work for you.

It's not like you're fat... You're in a healthy weight range. My advice: don't worry about it. You look good. You're 25 years old, too; you're not a girl. You're a woman. 13 Kilograms is a lot of weight to lose. You're petite as it is. Practice yoga if you want an ayurvedic approach.

The BMI range of weight for your height is 135-150 lbs.  You are very close to what is considered a normal and healthy weight, so don't over do it.  You are not fat.  Don't try to lose 30 pounds, you'll be dangerously thin.  Shoot for 10, fine, but stop there, and do it by exercising and eating a balanced healthy diet.  That way, you'll keep it off.\n\nBest to you.

Well 30 lbs isn't a very healthy amount to lose in one month, but twenty is ok, although it wont be easy. The best HEALTHY way to do it is to do lots of cardio Exercise (like running or aerobics, something that really gets your heart rate up). Also keep your calories low, about 1700-1800 per day, so watch your food labels. Also drink about one gallon of water per day, that was something important that I didn't do but will help. Hope it goes well!

Drink Water.  Most of the weight you lost was water.

I would say anywhere from 105-120. Besides your weight changes a couple pounds each day.

that isnt healthy to do. that is about 55 pounds, and to lose that in 2 months means you would have to lose almost 7 pounds a week, or a pound a day. the most you are supposed to lose is about 2 pounds per week. \nto lose weight, you could cut your portions down and exercise, and drink a lot of water (which flushes fat and toxins out of your body), but i dont think you should shoot for 25 kg in 2 months.

Most likely you will lose weight.  THe key is to burn more calories than you take in.\n\nI lost 105 pounds in 6 months.  Here is how I did it.\n1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes.  You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up.  It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.\n2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods.  Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).\n3. Eat half.  Just eat half of what you normally eat.  Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away.  Cook less.  When you go to fast food, get salads only.  Or grilled chicken.  No fries,  only diet soda. Or water.\n\nIt will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine.  It has been over a year for me.  \n\nA sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here.  Check it out.\nhttp://www.caloriesperhour.com/\n\nCheck out my before and after pic at my yahoo 360 page\nhttp://profiles.yahoo.com/gorillamyke\n\nStay motivated, and get up and walk every day.  I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk. \n\nGood LUCK!

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.
