cut back the portion size of what you eat...stick to fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsalted nuts.  Stay away from salt, saturated fats, sugars and alcohol.  Drink the recommended amount of water (the more you drink, the less fluid your body actually retains) and excercise at least 30 mins a day, 3 days a week, sustaining your heartrate above 130 bpm

at 5ft 6in 115 to 155 lbs is considered a healthy weight for you. so you have about 25 lbs to lose thats not too bad. You could try slimfast or if you drink alot of pepsi or something try to cut back and walk. or try eating healthier snacks. after having my kids the weight took about a year to come off. Good luck.

How much you want to loose? I lost 18 lbs in 5 weeks by cutting my high carbs,(potatoes, rice, pasta, bread) and drinking 8 glasses of water and sometime have 1 soda.  You eat more veggies instead of fruit because fruit is higher in sugar. I was able to loose the weight with exercising at all.  My total loss so far is 36 lbs\n\nGood Luck

I've lost about 50 pounds in the last several years. I'd like to lose up to 50 more, but I'd settle with 25 more.

You are probably looking for a better answer, but the simplest and best way to lose weight is to keep track every single thing that crosses your lips each and every day.\nI've been tracking calories since mid-June, and have lost 25 #.  I'm not one to "diet", and I love to eat, but I got to the end of my rope and was miserable with myself.  Some useful tools are the calorie diary/tracker, and the Calorie King books that give nutritional information on nearly every restaurant, and all food types.  We eat out more than most, and I've done it through out this entire weight loss.\nPut your mind to it, as my Grandma used to say, and good luck to you!

Cut off your head!\n\nThe only good and safe way to lose weight is a reasonable diet and regular aerobic exercise.  Your goal should be to lose about 1 kg (2 pounds) a week and KEEP it off for the rest of your life.  Extreme weight loss in a short time will only set you up to gain it all back and more.  That's why they call it yo-yo dieting.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose 5 pounds within a month easily.  Here are a few suggestions that may help you.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need at least 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.  Do searches for healthier recipes for the types of food you especially like.  There is always a healthier recipe!!  Eat fewer hotdogs - just don't have them as often.  Include lots of fruits and vegetables.  \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. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for at least 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\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

do you want to lose these 5 pounds long term or short term?  short term, take some diuretics, wear heavy clothes, and do some cardio and don't drink anything.  you can sweat 5 pounds, but you'll gain it back when you drink again.  and it's not healthy.  but that's how boxers/fighters drop weight for fights.  long term, eat very few calories and spread those calories out throughout the day (it'll keep your metabolism going) and drink water, it'll help you feel less hungry.

Diet and exercise is the best answer. Most diet pills are accelarators. The next time you see a Trim Spa commercial listen carefully. It says with proper diet and exercise. If you only need to lose 5 or 10 pounds go for it. Otherwise I would start looking for a nutrition plan.\n\nFor a simple plan check out this link.

The most mechanical way to lose weight to expend more calories than you consume, so first diet hardcore, 5 small meals a day with mostly protein, vegetables, and fruits. also i would take some type of thermogenic weight loss pill, they will help boost your losses at first. then also, dont do any lifting but, do a lot of cardio (running, biking, jump rope.) to lose weight healthily you should only lose 2 pounds a week, so go at your own risk, work out 2 or 3 times a day and eat 5 very little very healty meals a day.

The best answer to weight loss is something that you (and almost all of America) do not want to hear; The best way to lose wieght is to simply excercise, I'm not try to be rude and you may excercise already. However a key part is knowing whether or not you are healthy. If you are healthy and merely trying to lose weight for apperance then you are hurting your body. Your body know what it wants, trust it from time to time and you may just realize that it knows best when it comes to food. If you are hungry eat, that is the way it is meant to be. Now there are exceptions to the rule like there is with anything, people that overeat and still don't fill satisifed have a genuine problem that they need to consult their doctor about. Unless you are one of these people then I would suggest eating regularly and excercising, it's the best thing you can do to be healthy.

Losing weight is an entire lifestyle remodeling. You can't get slim in a few days. (Crash diets or Yo-yo Diets show dramatically change but not change in the long run. And those diets tend to only get rid of excess water weight. Without actually burning or shrinking fat tissue/cells). The best way of starting a weight loss regimen is to consult with your physician. There you'll be acquainted with a nutritionist and dietitian to start you up on a proven and effective weight loss program.\n\nThe realistic approach is to research over the Internet healthy ways to lose weight. You can start by cutting down on the food you eat everyday. Cutting back could mean instead of eating everything just eat 3/4's of the meal. An exercise & diet combination has been proven to speed up weight loss. You can also start walking around your neighborhood. Remember walking at a slow pace in long durations can burn more calories than strenous running for merely 5 mins. Be careful what internet websites you research at as well. Reputable sites like: http://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/setgoals.htm should be a good source.

Loosing an average of 5 pounds a week is not healthy. You are correct, the recommendation is 1-2 pounds a week. Watch your diet and get more exercise and you will loose weight, but you don't want to loose too much too fast. Good luck with your weight loss program. Stay Healthy!
