it depends on how many months a "few" is and how overweight you are.  my best advice for losing weight would be to concern yourself more with the eating healthy and exercising part - the weight loss will come naturally.  i think that 20 pounds is possible, although i believe the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't lose more than a pound/week.  drink a lot of water - it will help curb your appetite and keep you from losing water weight which will come back quickly.

Well well well...\nI would eat a lot of fiber (whole grains, beans, cereals) for breakfast, eat salad for lunch and then eat pasta/meat for dinner. Get on a 'disciplined' excersize plan that you do areobics, anarobics (sprinting), and weight training, include sit ups, and you will see RAPID weight loss. I'd say exsersize AT LEAST 30 minutes, 3 times per week. Trust me, it worked for me...and I'm 6'1 190 lbs and I look and feel great...You must include discipline, and also don't forget to set yourself a goal. GOOD LUCK!

Try Denise Austin exercise tapes. They're super fun and you start seeing results after 10 days (if you stick to the routine). Denise also has some books out on losing weight and keeping it off. There are some great recipes and eating tips in there. Anyway, give the tapes a try, cause they're a lot cheaper than going to a gym, and you can do them at home. I swear by them!

You can lose 10 lbs. in 4 or 5 weeks. Safest way is to lose 2-3 lbs a week. If you do more than, or do crash diets, and when you go back to your normal eating habits, the weight you lost will come back or even double! So take it slow ok? :)\nI started as 135 and I'm also trying to reach my goal weight which is 120. I lost my 3 lbs in 1.5 weeks. Here's what I did.\n\nFirst, WATER is very important. you must drink at least 8 glasses a day. It also helps suppress your appetite. Drink a glass when you wake up in the morning and before you go to asleep. Drink also a glass before every meal. And if you exercise, drink before, in the middle, and after your exercise routine. This helps you lose water weight.\nWater weight is all the water accumulated in different parts of our body because the body makes sure that it has a reserved "stock". So if you constantly drink a lot of water, the body will release the water weight (which is maybe 2-5 lbs)because it will think that the supply will always come.Ok? :)\n\nOh, and if you drink ICE COLD WATER extra calories are burned because the body can not utilize the water in its cold state. So it has to bring it to normal body temperature first.\n\nYou could also try green tea. 2 to 3 cups a day burn 80 calories. This has been proven. :) Add also lemon. :)\n\n\nEating smaller meals does help. Eat every after 3 hours. This is the time when the last meal you ate is fully digested. You must not go hungry because this will slower your metabolism.\nHere are some food suggestions:\neat foods with fiber: whole wheat bread, oatmeals or non-sugar cereals with skim milk. \nprotein: tuna in water, skinless chicken breast, eggs(not too much), low fat cheese\ncalcium: skimmed milk \n\n*It is also proven that calcium helps boost your metabolism.\n\nFruits but no bananas and Vegies but no potatoes. you can have as many as you like.\n\nYou can also have frozen yogurt. low/non fat.\n\nStay away from carbs like white bread/flour. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat them but a daily requirement is 50 grams.\nThe atkins diet tells you to take 25 g. This is dangerous and can lead to ketosis.\nStay away from sugars or starches. No sodas please. If you wish to drink fruit juices then buy fruits and use a blender. Those powdered juices have too many sugars in them. :)\n\nOh and if you wish to exercise but have no budget for gym or are too lazy to do it like I am :) hehehe. try the following while listening to your mp3 or while sight-seeing.\n\nwalking--250 calories burned an hour\nrunning--500 cal\njogging--900 cal\n\ngood luck! ;)

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

Look up South Beach Diet.  I lost 20lbs in 2 weeks.  Add exercise to that.  I'm going on 55lbs now. 20 to go after that.  Good luck!

You're doing fine--10 lbs in 3 weeks is a little over 3 lbs per week!  Normal weight loss is 1-2 lbs per week!  From the sounds of it you're acually undereating, no wonder you're so hungry.  112 lbs will take time and patience.  For your meals I would add more protein to each one, maybe have 5-6 meals a day, be sure to eat protein at each meal.  \n\nMeal 1 ideas: cottage cheese, egg whites with veggies, oatmeal, good grains avoid any bread that is white. Dont' forget your healthy fats--flax seed, olive oil, fish oil, peanut butter (but not too much-it has a lot of saturated fat, etc)\n\nMeal 2:  Protein shake with oatmeal or rice cakes\n\nMeal 3: tuna, chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef, egg whites with small salad or veggies; olive oil or fish oil capsules\n\nMeal 4: so on and so forth\n\nThe meals may get a little bland after a while, but you can add spices, and dress it up with mustard etc...\n\nI'm not crazy about the South Beach Diet, but it will teach you how to eat healthy, and it works for a lot of people.  You just have to teach yourself about nutrition and remember that it takes time to change your lifestyle.  Don't worry about short term, focus on long term goals (eating/cooking healthy for you and your family).  You'll find a list of "clean" foods at the oxygenmag.net forums.  They're great!  You can also read there on how to get the right mix of proteins/carbs/fats for weight loss.  It's the best forum I've come across.  Keep on trucking--you'll make it, remember baby steps :).

you do the exact opposite of just eating 3 meals a day.  Firstly, if you start to get a craving and don't suppress it with any sort of snack, it will become uncontrollable and you will eat more in the long run.  Secondly, the more you eat, the more you increase your metabolism which burns up fat.  Most of the suggestions were good ones.  Exercise, eat veggies, and I would only eat a little fruit and on its own - don't mix it.  10 lbs is not hard and there are lots of ways to lose it but it you give it 2 weeks minimum, you have increased your chances by 65% to keep it off.  If you give it 3 weeks, you have increased your chances by 90%.  Drink up your water and try to cut partially hydrogenated stuff and high fructose corn syrup out of your diet.  Good luck!

I suggest you to avoid fatty foods and lessen carbohydrates.  Eat fruits, vegetables and drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday.  You should stop smoking since it doesn't only make your body weak but rather, your stomach and body store in lots of fats making your metabolism slow.  Quit smoking and do exercise everyday.  Going to army in a few months from now...  know the requirements, especially on weight.  Since you are 6'2'' tall, your normal weight should be 90 kilos.  If you are really desperate, then try the 3 day diet below which (they say) guarantees you to lose 3-10 pounds each session.  It is one of the natural way to lose weight aside from regualr exercise.  But before that, consult a doctor since I've heard some that is not fat that is losing but rather water in your body... while other people, it is only the shorter and faster wieght to lose weight.  This requires strict and discipline to yourself and food intake.  Follow the procedures given and no substituton of food, adding salt or pepper is fine but none other than that.  No snacking too!  \n\nThis is what they called the fad diet.\n\n3 Day Diet Plan is used for 3 days at a time. This diet normally used by doctors and military. These diet uses all natural products, no pills or nasty shaky. If you follow the diet correctly you can lose up to 10 lbs. in 3 days and 40 pounds in a month. The 3 day diet focuses on mixing certain types of foods that create a reaction in your digestive system. The chemicals are supposed to boost your metabolism and help you burn fat at a higher rate than usual. After 3 days of dieting, resume eating normally for three to four days, do not overeat. You can start your 3 day diet back anytime if you like.\n\nIt is a calorie diet, your weight will be reduced fast as long as you eat the same amount of calories in any type of food. if you feel bored with the food, do replace them with the food with the same calorie value anytime you like. This is to ensure that 3 Days Diet will forever be interesting to us. \n\nThe Diet does not provide medical information and if you are at any medical risk in undertaking a diet such as this, please check with your doctor before undertaking it.\n\nInstructions:\nDrink 4 glasses of water or diet soda per day. For additional flavoring you can add herbs, soy sauce, lemon, salt and pepper, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and ketchup to your foods. \n \n\n3 Day Diet Menu Plan\nFirst Day of "3 Day Diet"\n \nBreakfast\n\nBlack coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water\n1 banana\n1 slice toast with 1 Tbsp.

How much do you weigh now?  How tall are you?  How old are you?  How much do you exercise?  How much sodium is in your diet now?  These are the important data points to answer your question.\n\nWith less than two weeks until Thanksgiving, you probably cannot expect to lose ten pounds between now and then.

Very smart, excellent plan.\n\n-Drink lots of water.\n-Try to get away from "three square meals" in favor of 4-6 smaller ones.\n-Substitute fruit for dessert.\n-Cut back on dressings, cheese, and/or substitute lower fat/calorie alternatives.\n-Do something you enjoy outdoors.  Go for walks, run, bike, swim, whatever.  Anything you will do at least 3 hours per week will help.\n-Cut back alcohol intake.\n-Treat yourself to a "cheat day" every week.  Don't go hog wild, but enjoy something you like to eat.\n\nYou don't have to exercise every day.  Go for walks at lunchtime when at work.  Walk the dog.  Be in motion.  Have fun.\n\nYou can do it.  Take it slow.  Be prepared for possible weight gain if you add muscle.  You will lose inches and feel better no matter what.

How much weight are you talking about. I mean 5 pound 100 pounds. I can promise you that you can lose it quicker then you gained it. It sounds like you are being unrealistic with this 10 day thing.

Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks??\n\nThere are some websites on the Internet, which promise you that you are going to lose 10 pounds in every 2 weeks. If you are good in math you will find that keeping these stats in mind, 260 pounds in a year. Losing 260 pounds is the figure, which is unbelievable and unexpected.\n\nThis kind of claims are planned just to cause clients to make impulsive decisions. When you gain weight, did you gained around 50 minds in two months? Certainly not. We gain weight in weight in small parts, which add up to our weight. This keeps on increasing with time.\n\nI think you get what I mean to say. We normally gain weight in grams like 65 gram per week. With this stat you are going to gain around 7 pounds at the end of year.\n\nThis weight is so slow that you cannot measure it weekly. But in fur years you are going to gain around 28 pounds.\n\nSo how can you expect this weight to go in few days? You are going to lose the way you have gained it. So it will take time to lose weight. So you have to start losing weight systematically. You can lose weight by developing the good eating habits in you and nutritious foods.

Hello. My name is Adam and I am a former Mr Arkansas and fitness trainer. I do have experience dropping weight for events. Well, first of all there is no need to worry too much at your age. You should be able to get your weight down fairly quickly. Your body is going through a lot of physical changes so don't ever feel like you're going to be stuck with 80 extra pounds the rest of your life. The good news is... you can loose the weight!!!\nThe best way to loose weight fast is to cut your cards. Don't listen to critics of this diet. I can tell you, from EXPERIENCE, that it works. The biggest myth to this diet is that you can eat as much meat as you want as long as you don't eat cards. Wrong!!! In order to loose the amount of weight that you are talking about will require low fat meat and absolutely NO sugars (example – ham, turkey, chicken). Yes, that's right. It means no pastas, breads, fruits, soda, and absolutely no alcohol etc....\nI can tell you that this diet is extremely difficult to get started because of all the temptation out there. With the great holiday food coming around it’s going to be difficult to keep the discipline that you will need. Discipline is the key!!!! If you can get past the first two weeks then it is very, very easy to maintain. But those first two weeks are really tough. So, what would a typical meal look like? Breakfast – 4 eggs (with one egg yoke), and 3 pieces of turkey bacon. I like to sprinkle a little season salt on the eggs for a great flavor. Lunch – 1 piece of meat and a low carb veggie. Dinner – (always) boneless/skinless chicken breast and veggie. There are a hundred ways to cook all of these so that it is not soooo monotonous. For instance, sometimes at dinner I’ll cut up the chicken breast and fry it with onions and green peppers in olive oil and put it on a salad, just make sure the dressing is low carb. If you search online I’m sure you can find many ways to cook a low carb meal. \nThe next step is exercise. This doesn’t mean running 5 miles a day. It only means walking for at least 50 minutes every morning and working out with light weights 2-3 days per week. Walking at a fast pace on an incline burns almost as many calories as jogging, and I for one hate running. Kill the time by watching TV or listening to an audio book on your ipod while you walk. Doing this in the morning is the key!!!! Your body doesn’t have any spare carbs that it might have gotten from the food you’ve been eating, so your body burns every calorie from your fat storage. So while you’re walking just remember that you are 100% burning off the fat. It’ll get you excited!!!! \nAll of this boils down to how bad you want to loose the weight. Like I said before, the hardest part is getting past the first two weeks. After that, you are going to be so excited because you will literally see your body changing every week. \nPlease feel free to IM me if you have any questions. I would love to hear your progress. You can do it!!!\n\nRegards,\n Adam
