losing that much weight in a week is NOT healthy. \n\nbut for starters, cut out ALL the junk food. eat protein & veggies and skip the carbs (pasta, potatoes, bread) and fatty foods. that should help a little bit!!

10 pounds in two weeks is not safe.  You should only lose about 1-2 pounds a week.  Do it by exercising and dieting.  Don't eat less than 1200 calories per day and make sure your diet includes the right kinds of nutrients by eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables (preferably more vegetables than fruits).  Do cardiovascular exercise 30-60 minutes per day.  Make sure your heart rate gets up.  You cannot lose weight only on one part of your body.  You will have to work your whole body.  As you start to lose fat, build muscle with strength training.  I recommend pilates if you really want to focus on your stomach.  Diet and exercise are the only healthy way to lose weight, and it takes time.  Please be safe!

10 to 20 weeks.  The recommendation is to lose 1 - 2 pounds per week to make sure that you lose fat and only fat.  You don't want to lose muscle because this will slow your metabolism.  So at  1 - 2 pounds per week, that's 10 to 20 weeks.  You'll be much more likely to keep the weight off for good if you lose slowly and sensibly.

You can't lose one pound of fat in a day. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound of fat. That is why it is a good idea to try to lose only 500 calories a day. That way, in one week, you will lose one pound. This way, you can eat healthy and still lose weight. It's all about eating right and exercising. There is no magic pill. It takes time and effort.

It's possible.  Weight loss of 1 lb a week will get at lease 30 off by early December.  Kick it up to 2 lbs a week and you'll be at least 40 by November.  If you're athletic and the weights not coming off, you probably need to cut about 500 calories a day.  Since 3,500 calories = 1 lb, you will lose 1 lb a week.  If you do this and work out a little more, it will be easy to lose 2 lbs a week.  Whatever happens good luck and just tell yourself failure is not an option.

You CANNOT and you SHOULD NOT.. It is, generally speaking, NOT healthy to be losing more than 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week.. I do not care what program you are on.. It just is NOT healthy. You have to(MUST MUST MUST) exercise.  and stay away from greasy, fatty foods.. eat  plenty of green vegetables (not peas) and fruits.

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

its natural to lose between 1-2lbs a week so add that up. dont do any crazy diets.. think of exercise and healthy eating as a lifestyle change. start small - 30 min workout 5 min a day, and u do have time if u are gonna commit to it - believe me, youll see a change right away. and when u are shopping dont buy a lot of junk food, but dotn deprive yourself of anything. you will crave it even more and binge - eat what u want, but eat the bad things in small portions. it is possible, but it does take time so dont think of it in 2 months and 4-5 inches.. think of it as living a healthy lifestyle and you will lose the pounds in a healthy way and keep them off.

They shoot for helping you lose a pound and a half to two pounds of fat per week.   The key word is "fat" because often people lose more weight (not fat) because they start drinking a lot of water or lose some muscle because of the decrease in calories.  Your body holds on to less water when you intake a lot so you can lose "weight" that way too.  Expect to lose about 8 - 9 pounds of fat if you follow your diet exactly.
