I have no idea *how* much weight you need to lose, but just some general pointers:\n\n1. Weight training. Most people think the side-effect of lifting is getting big. No. Lifting develops muscle. Developing muscle burns more calories. If you want to get big, you add calories to your diet. If you want to lose weight, you don't. \n\nMost people also do cardio at one pace and wonder why they get no results. Simple. No intensity. You will get more results from five minutes of running as fast as you possibly can than a half-hour at a leisurely pace. Add short, intense weight training to intense interval cardio and you have two different exercise groups that will assist you in losing weight.\n\n2. Numerous meals. 6-8 low-calorie meals a day. 200 cal x 6 + 300 cal x 2 = 1800 calories, probably enough. I know you won't want to eat all this, so you're allowed to drink a few of these (don't overdo it - a full cup of juice is about 200 calories. I like the V8 smoothies because they have protein in them, too).\n\n3. Don't max out on water. Drink water regularly throughout the day but DO NOT use it as a meal replacement. While there's no calories in water, your body is mostly water. Excess water can easily leave your body with the same "bulky" look that fat does.\n\nAnd remember, small steps. Take it day to day. You're looking for progress - not perfection (that will just stress you out and have you packing pounds back on). Good luck.

I would suggest going to Weight Watchers for support. They are probably the best diet and ways to get advice.

Do you eat sugar?   If so, stop........the pounds will drop.  Are you active?  If not.......get active.  \n\nIf you do not see a difference in one week or even 2 days.  I'll eat my words.

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

Drink lots and lots of water and eat a lot of fruit and veggies.  By the way the quicker you drop the weight, the quicker you'll put it back on

There is no "quick" way.  You just need to watch your calories and exercise.  www.self.com has a great program to learn how to lose some weight in a month or two.  You sign up for free and then keep track of workouts and meals.  They give you ideas for both or you can just stay active on your own and record those activities.  Good luck!

You're not grossly overweight really are you? And I'm not just saying that to be nice.\n\nIf you loose weight too quickly, you'll only end up putting it all back on & will have to do it all over again! I can understand that you've given yourself a deadline, but why the hell didn't you start dieting months ago, rather than leaving it till the last week???\n\nThe only sure way to loose weight, is to eat healthily - plenty of veg (especially green veg), at lest 5 portions of fruit & a small balance of lean meat, bread & potatoes etc per day. Also, drink at least 4 litres of fluid per day, preferably water. You also need to excercise - swimming is great coz it works your whole body, but any kind of excercise is good for you, providing that you do a minimum of 30 minutes every other day & that it leaves you slightly out of breath afterwards.\n\nYou'll find that you will loose weight faster in the first 2 weeks than the rest of the time that you diet, coz you also loose a fair amount of body fluid aswell at first, so you should go to the toilet a bit more often.

i'm in the same boat.  i need to lose 20 pounds by Jan 6th.  first of all you wont be able to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks.  the most you can lose is 5-10.  this is what my doctor is having me do - \nskip out any fast food, especially soda and fruit juice - switch to water and 1% milk.  eat lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts and lean meats like chicken, pork and shrimp and fish.  dont quit eating- you want to increase your metabolism by creating a good exercise routine and eating healthy foods for your body to burn.  doing so will make you leaner.  remember muscle is heavier than fat so your weight may or may not change, but you will look a lot more trim and your body will look more defined and sleeker...\n\ni got ankle weights and pilate stretchy thing at target for cheap.  i've been using it for about 2 week now.  i'm starting to lose my big butt and thighs.  This is my routine - \n\nWalk 15-30 min a day with ankle weights\nArm curls - twice a day (morning/evening) 10-15 each\nleg lifts - twice a day 8-10 each\n15 -20 sits ups - twice a day\ncardio work out - biking, treadmill, jogging,  etc - 2-3 times a week.

That much weight in that short of time is really not good for you.  Not to mention you will hate soup and exercise and you will gain it all right back again after those two monthes.  \n\nTry this, No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 4-5 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!

Fast ways....eat how you normally do but during the first week take 2 bites less of everything. The next week 3 bites.....and so on...\n\nSecondly, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And park further out....Walk just a little faster. \n\nDance....if a song comes on you like...dance to it for 3 minutes or so. \n\nFinally, dont let yourself get frantic about losing weight. The stress only makes it harder.

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.
