First, try to set a more realistic goal. That's a lot of weight to lose in a short time, even with major diet modification, and would probably be unhealthy.\n\nBurning an additional 250 calories per day by getting more exercise, and removing 250 calories per day from your food intake will enable you to lose an average of 1 pound per week.\n\n"Slow and steady wins the race."

no not really if you eat less you will you can lose about 5 to 7 pounds in a week safely. if you are very ovrweight maybe more but it is unadvizeable .normal weekly weight loss should be 2 to 3 pounds  crash dieting is not a good idea go on a calorie controled diet and do light exersise for long term weight loss

No substitute for controlling calories and getting more exercize.   Make changes that you can stick with as a lifestyle, not temporary "diets".   Walking 60 minutes a day will make a difference, done all at once or little at a time.  Don't try to do too much, or you'll just get discouraged and give up when you don't see instant results for all your hard work.  If you walk an hour a day everyday, you're going to lose weight.  Your appetite will come under control and your metabolism will increase.  \n\nWeight training is also effective (in addition to walking).  Building lean muscle mass will help you burn more calories all day long.\n\n"Junk food" comes in many forms.  Breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, and other simple carbs can do things to your blood chemistry that will interfere with your goal.  Eat lots of fresh vegetables, and not too much fruit. \n\nLimit your portions.  Eat 5 meals a day.  That way you don't get too hungry, and your smaller portions won't seem like such a deprivation, because you know you're going to be eating again soon.\n\nEat slowly, and not in front of the TV.  Enjoy the food.  Most people with weight problems don't truly enjoy the food, they just eat absent mindedly and don't really take time to savor each bite.\n\nStart your meal with a healthy soup, or an apple, and you'll find that it's easier to control your calorie intake.\n\nIf you find yourself wanting more food after a meal and feel like you can't resist the urge, then tell yourself that you can have more, but that you just have to wait 30 minutes.  There's a good chance that the craving will pass, especially if you don't make it a prohibition.\n\nDon't sweat it if you make some bad choices sometimes.   But try to at least make better bad choices.  Don't supersize it, for example.   Better yet, if you "cheat" and visit a fastfood joint, pass on the fries.  Don't look at it in terms of since you've cheated anyway, you might as well enjoy yourself.  Minimize the damage.\n\nGet plenty of sleep.   Lack of sleep triggers inactivity, hunger, and slow metabolism.

If you are serious and understand that there is no overnight way to loose the amount you are asking about maybe this will help. At about 5 lbs. a week it will take  about 10 weeks to loose the weight You would be better to set your sights on 2-3 lbs per week. NEVER, EVER eat anything after 5pm. Never eat just before going to bed. Eat only twice a day. Drink water, lots of water, and a glass of warm water before bed. Drinking water helps the body to flush out excess fat wastes and toxic body waste and helps with giving you a full feeling. It also helps with mental mentality. Have a bit of fat in some form early in the day, like REAL butter on a piece of toast, this will make the body feel like it is not being slighted. If you must eat sweets try the sugar-free kind, they cost a bit more but are worth it in the long run, pace yourself with them. Get out of the house every day if only to walk once around the block, don't rush, notice everything around you, think about what you see. Add more blocks as you feel as ease with, change routes. If you are pressed into feeling bad by someone near, start doing a chore, laundry, dishs, vacuuming, taking out the trash (and you can sneak that walk as you drop the trash in the trashcan as you go by), STAY AWAY from the ice box. Binge eating only makes the problem worse and you feel you are less of a person after it is over with. If you get weak when out and hit a fast food place and after ordering you feel you shouldn't be doing that, DON'T !!!!, pay for the food, walk OUTSIDE!, don't sit down, and drop the stuff in the trash can or give it to someone outside or an animal. You will feel odd doing this but then you will feel that you just took control over yourself and it will get you thinking about the other things in your life you should look into taking back control over, and you just proved to yourself that it is not impossible. Try taking yourself out of the circle you focus on all the time and place yourself on the edge and others in the center. When I was losing weight I found that taking Chromium tablets each day curtailed my craving for chocolate. I am a big choc-0-halic. Amino acids also helped for control (all over the counter stuff). Make sure you are not alergic to any of this though. And do not make a big deal of your trying to loose weight to others, keep low key, pretend to be eating so other do not try to keep handing you stuff to stuff in your face. I stopped smoking by not telling anyone and keeping a half pack of ciggs in my shirt pocket so all could see I had it and they did not offer me any. It was worth their bumming them from me to ward off any questions. Nobody near around you will help you if it is not in their best interest to keep you in the position that is more conveient to them. FAKE them out! Depend on yourself, in the end you are the only one who is there for you no matter what is said. O.K. eat more veggies, take them with you, snack on them, unlimited, try all the diffrent veggies at the store, take time out to go to the store just to see what is offered, strange to you or not, try it! And stay out of the other areas of the store. Well, that's what I can tell you for what it is worth. I gained a lot of weight after 3 surgeries and am an older person in my 50's, and now it is so hard to loose, so very hard. Do it now while you can, and like yourself, not what others want you to change into for them, you are not them, you are YOU, and control will come with practice over time.

you should try to lose 1-2 pounds a week\n\njust reduce your calories and increase exercise....make sure you are doing strength training, so the weight you lose will not be muscle

You have to take in less calories than you burn. I know you said you hate to exercise, but there are things you can do that won't seem like much exercise once you make the habit. Obviously, watch your food intake and drink more water. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water and wait 10 minutes. If it goes away, you were really thirsty rather than hungry. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park farther away. If you have a home with stairs, make excuses to go up and down them. If you have a lot of groceries, make more trips to take them in the house. Small steps add up to burned calories. Start small. Take a walk around your block. Then do it again tomorrow. Then add a block, and so on. You will find that you look forward to those times to get some fresh air and clear your mind. Hope it helps.

You can also lose one pound a week\n\n\n\nThe majority of fitness professionals advise slow weight loss as the safest and most helpful approach. A sensible weight-loss program allows you to lose weight slowly -- about one-half to one pound per week. Slow weight loss promotes long-term loss of body fat, not just water weight that can be rapidly regained.\n\nMost people need around 15 calories per pound to maintain their weight. A person of 150 pound would not eat food that contains calories more than 2250 per day in order to maintain his/her weight.\n\nIn order to burn one pound, a person need to burn 3500 calories more than they are used. For example, dropping calories by 300 per day and increasing daily movement to burn off an extra 200 calories should result in a weight loss of one pound a week.

First, if you have foot problems you need to get off the treadmill and dedicate your aerobic exercise to a lower impact activity.  I suggest you switch over to cycling - much easier on the feet and knees.\n\nSecond, realize you're looking to lose, I think, an average of two pounds per week.  To sustain that kind of weight loss pace, I suggest working up to daily cycling of 60 minutes or more.  Buy or borrow a comfortable bike and start by riding 30 minutes a day - without fail.  Ride 15 minutes away from home, then turn around.  It should be easy.  Build up your duration and pace so you're riding for 60 minutes or more each day.  If you've been working out at the gym since March of this year, you should be able to accomplish this pretty quickly.\n\nSecond, you need to check that you've altered your diet to get rid of as much refined sugar and simple carbs as possible.  Sugar is easy to identify.  Simple carbs would include white bread, white rice, potatoes, pasta.  These carbs are quickly converted to sugar by the body, and stored as fat if not metabolized quickly.\n\nReplace with protein rich meat, fish, bean and tofu (if you like tofu).  Snack on cheese, nuts and fruit (easy on the fruit, too - lots of fructose).  And of course, heavy on daily water intake.\n\nHope that helps.  Best to you.

Losing weight doesn't have anything to do with sweating. Follow a healthy diet using the Food Pyramid, and exercise regularly, 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Don't cut out the carbohydrates because your body needs those for energy, but shoot for a goal of 100g a day. Eat 3 small meals a day with 2 small snacks and drink a lot of water. If you use a small plate at meal time you can trick you mind into thinking that you are getting more than you really are, and eat slowly, it may take up to 15 minutes for your brain to get the message that the stomach is full. Don't try to lose all of the weight at once, if you lose 1-2 pounds a week you will be more likely to keep them off.

losing 10 kilos in ten days is very very dangerous and unhealthy for anybody.  think about this:  a regular person consumes an average of 1500-1800 calories a day, and in order to lose 1 pound, you have to burn off twice that much calories.  in order for the body systems to function properly, you need a daily calorie intake of at least 1000 calories, and to burn 3000 calories in a day, you have to do about 6 hours of exercises.\n\nplease do not do this, it is very very dangerous to your health.  you'll be jeopardizing a lot more if you force yourself to do that.

Don'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\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 then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

You shouldn't lose that much weight in one week.  It's not healthy.  If you're going to do it regardless, you could always starve yourself I guess, but in the end, you'll just gain it all back.  There is no healthy way to lose 10 pounds in one week.  Healthy is 2-3 pounds a week.

This is a good realistic goal. 1 to 2 pounds a week is something you can accomplish with healthy eating and regular exercise.\n\nTry to get 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.\n\nAs far as diet is concerned, don't drop your calorie intake by too much, 500 calories a day less at the very most. Just try to take in as much lean protein as possible and the least amount of fat.\n\nYou should be able to lose 10-15 pounds inside of 60 days with a plan like this.

Within a week?  You can't eat anything at all.  Try to exercise, but you'll be weak from not eating.
