If you email me, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.\n\nModification:\nI got your request but your email link is "not verified" so the email won't go through.  Please contact me again and include your normal email address so I can get back in touch with you!

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.

Yup, done 20 in a month, but I went at it real hard.  I've heard that 2 - 3 pounds per week is healthy, no more.  15 pounds once probably isn't bad, but make sure you don't burn out if you make that goal or exceed it.

The first thing to do is look at your weight loss as a goal and break it down into manageable parts.\n\n3 stones sounds like a lot of weight but if you think of it not as the 42 lbs which it is but as 42 divided by 7 months (November to May inclusive), that's only six pounds a month, which suddenly seems a lot more manageable.\n\nEven so, it's a still not an insignificant amount and it will take work and a specific plan.\n\nA few points occur to me:\n1. I have no idea what the source of stress is in your life but is there any way that you can directly relieve that stress?  If so, that will help your general well being in many more ways than just your specific weight loss goals.\n\n2.  Try to find a specific strenuous physical activity which you enjoy and that suits your budget.  Some people love pumping iron in the gym but it's not for everyone, whether or not they can afford it.  If you don't enjoy it, you won't keep it up but remember enjoyable isn't necessarily the same as easy especially at first - you will have to work at whatever you do.\n\n3. If you can do an activity which adds a little muscle (we are NOT talking hare about changing your body to look like a 1980s East German shot-putter), you may find that you need to lose less simple numerical weight to achieve your desired body proportions.  This is for three reasons: firstly that everything hangs better on a more toned body - you'll jiggle less; secondly, muscle is denser than fat, so if you don't lose weight, you may still lose inches; and thirdly, muscle tissue burns fat even at rest, like an idling engine.\n\nThe other aspect is diet.  In fact, the word diet has taken on a terrible negative meaning - like you are depriving yourself.  Your "diet" is your normal nutritional plan.  Don't deprive yourself of any food you enjoy but cut back a little at a time and if necessary fill in with healthier options.\n\nDrink lots of water (or other non-sugary drinks if you really can't cope with water).\n\nI probably don't need to tell you that the healthiest diet consists of lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and poultry and oily fish.  Avoid processed foods as much as possible\n\nTry to stick to whole grain versions of bread, rice and pasta which I think are tastier - the white types are nearly absorbed by your system in the same way as sugar (they are high GI (glycemic index)).\n\nHere's a tiny bit of science and a tip: many people say that healthy food doesn't taste as good as fatty food and that's why they eat fatty food.  This is partly psychological but does have a biochemical scientific basis.  Many of the vaste range of delicious natural aromatic flavours which technically you smell rather than taste, are dissolved in the fat contained in food.  So if you remove the fat, you may also remove the flavour.  Therefore (and here comes the tip), if you're a flavour junky, try spicing your low fat food with whatever fresh herbs and spices "float your boat" to make it tastier without upping the calories.\n\nAnd by the way, avoid too much salt as that has other health consequences.  Oh ... and a lot of dried bottled spice powders have a lot of salt in them and that's why I said to use fresh herbs and spices\n\nHope all this helps.  Your goal of three stones in 7 months is very achievable but you will have to work at it.  Good luck.

1) Get a group of friends going. Everyone needs to lose weight. They will hold you accountable for your exercise, and together you can look at new and healthier recipes.\n\n2) Learn how to love yourself at any weight; more importantly learn how to love yourself naked. While it may sound odd and pretty perverted, if you can love yourself naked you can love yourself at any weigth. Be proud of you body!\n\n3) Don't depend on pills; depend on yourself. Learn to eat in moderation. Don't think you can do it? If you have a midnight craving, try drinking a glass of water. Many times when you think you're hungry, your body is actually thirsty. \n\n3) Exercise--even 30 minutes a day will make a huge difference. Start small, and don't push yourself too hard. You can't run until you can walk. Keep at it, and remember: don't give up. You will NOT see instant results.\n\n4) Set small goals and move on up. Don't start with a weight loss goal of 50 pounds in 3 months. Try 10 pounds in 1 month. That's healthy, and there's not as much pressure. Also, put up a new dress or bikini in the size you want to wear. That's your motivation. Everytime you wake up, you'll see that dress.\n\n5) If you need extra help, try Weight Watchers. In a study it was noted that WW had a higher success rate of losing weight and keeping it off. They now have a monthly pass that allows you to buy per month. You don't have to buy their foods to be successful.\n\n6) Remember: weight loss if a lifetime journey and change. You aren't going to change and lose weight over night. Allow yourself to make mistakes, but don't be discouraged. Eventually you'll learn that a bit of chocolate cake is just as satisfying as a huge slice. \n\n7) Alternate your exercises--don't just stick with one. Try a gym and take classes. Spice it up. Try a swim class. Try pilates. Do things you wouldn't normally do. I do a belly dance class and I've already lose 15 inches. Crazy how that works!\n\n8) Be healthy--losing 25 pounds in 30 days is NOT healthy. Aim for 2-5 pounds per WEEK, not per day. Remember: this isn't going to be a quick fix. You have to get your mindset off of that. Also, learn that your body may not be right for weight 110 pounds. If you weight 130, you'll be even more healthy. There is a point in every woman's body where the point of "too thin" is reached. \n\nGood luck, and DON'T GIVE UP!

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.

You can lose a lot of weight between now and the summer if you work at it a little.   If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose quite a lot of weight by July.  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.  Use the calculator at one of the links to figure out a sensible number of calories for you.\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.  Start by walking around the block if that is what you can do now, and increase a little every 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 burning more calories than you take in leads to weight loss.  Remember 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. Be strong.  You can do this. Good luck with it.

Here is a simple answer, based on life experience.\nThere are no magic solutions !!!\nIf you want to reduce your weight without any pills, suffering, chemicals and so on, just reduce the amount of food you eat and get some basic exercise.\nInstead of watching TV, Go out, take a walk.\nEat Cereal instead of doritos and drink plenty of water.\nDon't skip breakfast, but do skip these cookies you have with your coffee.\nIt may take 3 months and not 3 days, but if you keep it, you are guaranteed to keep the weight off and not to gain it back in two weeks.

It really depends on your diet. I'd say it would be healthy for it to take about 8-10 months. But you could do it in less. My dad lost 60 lbs in 3 months once. So maybe you could do it in about 4, though I don't suggest it..

I'm not sure what kind of health reasons would necessitate 15 lbs--that's not a lot of weight.  115 I could see being a medical emergency but 15???  Excuse me if I'm skeptical.\n\n\nIf you TRULY have a medical emergency, talk to your doctor.  The only way I can imagine you losing 15 lbs in 10 days is through lipo or similar.

depending on your current size, body mass index and metabolism this will vary with some degree. one pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories so 20 lbs = 70,000 calories since there are 90 days in 3 months you need to start eating 778 more calories per day, or in other words start eating a lot more food.\n\nIf it is muscle you want to gain. Hit the gym; hard, real hard. It is possible to put on 20 lbs of muscle in 3 months time but really difficult. If it is muscle you want to gain instead of just weight ( which I am assuming, or at least hope is the case) you need to up your calorie intake even higher to maybe 1400 calories MORE than what you're eating now. Most of this needs to be from high protein sources, as your body will need this to build new muscle.
