The healthy way of losing weight is at only 2.5 - 4 kgs/month. Anything beyond this is unhealthy. If your goal is to look good and feel great and do this for even the next "parties or get together", then I woudl suggest you do it the healthy way. To do this, you need to drink plenty of water. The prescribed is 8 to 10 glasses of water but if you can drink 10 - 15 glasses a day that is good as it hastens your metabolism and flushes out toxins from your body. Another is to do exercise or do a lot of house work requiring exertion of effort to get you sweating. Try to spead your usual three meals to six small meals. Cut down or eliminate burgers, fries, and softdrinks!\n\nWhen that family event comes, suggest you dress in dark colors or stripes to accentuate lenght and not width (or girth).\n\nHope this helps you.

Well, in order to lose it in a healthy way, there is absolutely no way for you to lose 40 lbs in a month.  You would need to severely restrict your calories in order to do so, and then you would gain all of the weight back as soon as you begin eating "normally" again.  What you should do to lose the weight and keep it off is to eat 5 small meals a day, NEVER EVER go under 1200 calories a day, and get in some exercise!  I am very into fitness and health, and if you'd like any advice then please feel free to e-mail me and I'd be happy to give you some friendly advice.  Oh, and drink LOTS of water!

I can give u a one week  Diet Schedule, which i've tried myself and lost 5.0kgs at the end of the week. Actually, by following this schedule one can loose upto 7.5 kgs in a week. One can repeat this schedule as many times as desired without side effects, 'coz it is based naturally and contains "no" artificial ingredients and pills.\n\nDay 1 : All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the\nfruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons\nthe first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit\nconsumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are\nvery good.  \n\nDay 2 : All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed \nwith all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit\non the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will \nstart day two with a large baked potato for breakfast.\nYou may top the potato with one pat of butter. \n\nDay 3 : A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount,\nany quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today. \n\nDay 4 :  Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas\nand drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special\nsoup, which may be eaten in limited quantities. \n\nDay 5 : Today is feast day. You will eat mutton and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. \nportions of lean mutton. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes.\nOn day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is\nto cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. \n\nDay 6 : Mutton and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of \nMutton and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content. \n\nDay 7 : Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices\nand all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be\n4.5-7.7 kgs lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss,\nrepeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like,\nhowever, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in\naddition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne\nfor white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic\nbeverages with the exception of beer, which is allowed. Any liquor \n(bourbon,vodka,rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. \nYou may have an occasional cordial such as crème de menthe or schnapps,\nbut you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only\nwines that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol\nadds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will \nhelp your digestion and settle your stomach. \n\nBeverages you may consume while on the program: \n1. Water (flavored with lemon/lime if desired). \n2. Club Soda is OK. \n3. Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness. \n4. Black Tea = Herb or Leaf. \n5. Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices, which are part of day\nseven. No fruit juices before day seven.

That works out at 5kg per month, just over 1kg a week - which is reasonably healthy, but it is a LOT to ask.  You need to keep yourself motivated.  For that sort of weight loss, consult a nutritionist and get a personal diet plan done up.  Cardio is the best way to lose weight - weights can help, but they are more effective in building muscle, which can increase the LOOK of body fat, by bulking up underneath the skin and fat layer and thus making it protrude more.

Losing weight anywhere is a lifestyle.Keep a journal of your food intake.Set a goal and have a plan about how you will achieve it. Make sure it includes lots of veggies and fruits,preferably  real juice. Eat a hearty breakfast,one with a lot of fibre. Exercise either with the help of a physical trainer or on your own.Sit ups,push up,walking etc. will start you if you do not have an exercise machine/gym at home.Since August 2005 I have lost at least 2-4 inches  in my stomach area etc. and I will lose more. I have to walk to the bus stop as the vehicles are not working. My brother,who spends time in the garden, puts on weight but loses it like butter in a skillet.He keeps moving and gets off his butt for most of the day. Sedentary workers need to keep this in mind.Choose to be healthy and work at it daily.

Here is a copy of what I found on MSN.health web site, hope it helps you.\nGood luck.\n\nThe Last 5 Pounds Diet\n\nLosing the last five stubborn pounds requires three Ps: a plan, persistence and portion control. We give you the plan, and it's up to you to stick with it until you've reached your goal. Eyeballing portion sizes isn't enough -- you've got to measure foods to avoid overeating. Losing the last five pounds is more difficult than losing the first five pounds! As you get closer to your goal you'll need to fine-tune your eating plan to nudge your body toward giving up the last bit of unwanted weight. At this point, every calorie counts!\n\nBreakfast Suggestions\nOption One\n½ grapefruit\n1 slice whole-grain toast, spread with one tablespoon peanut butter\n1 cup skim milk\nOption Two\nEgg white omelet made in a non-stick skillet with 1 ounce of cheese and 1 cup of mixed veggies\n1 slice plain whole-grain toast\n1 cup skim milk\nOption Three\n1 cup cooked plain oatmeal, made with skim milk\n½ cup berries on the oatmeal\n1 cup skim milk\n\n\nLunch Suggestions\nOption One\n2 cups tossed salad with fat-free dressing\nSandwich made from 2 slices whole-grain bread, 2 ounces turkey, tomatoes and raw veggies of your choice\n1 fresh apple\nOption Two\nVeggie Lentil Soup\n1 cup raw green pepper, red pepper and cucumbers\n½ cup grapes\nOption Three\nTuna salad plate: Mix ½ cup water-packed tuna with 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise and ½ cup diced raw vegetables (celery, green pepper, carrot, etc.). Serve with one sliced tomato and 1 cup dark green lettuce\n2 tangerine oranges \n\n\nDinner Suggestions\nOption One\nGrilled Ginger Teriyaki Tuna\n½ cup brown rice mixed with ½ cup broccoli\n2 cups tossed salad with fat-free dressing\n1 cup skim milk \nOption Two\nItalian Marinated Chicken\nLynn Fischer's Bean Salad\n½ cup raw carrots\n1 fresh pear\n1 cup skim milk \nOption Three\nOne veggie burger served on a whole-grain bun with lettuce, tomato and onion ½ cup cooked spinach\nOne fresh peach\n1 cup skim milk \n\n\nSnack Ideas\nRemember to eat a snack or meal every three to four hours during the day. Stop eating at least three hours before you go to bed. \n1 whole grapefruit\n1 cup plain yogurt mixed with ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and 2 tablespoons low-fat granola\n6 low-fat triscuits\n½ cup chickpeas mixed with fat-free Italian dressing, chopped celery and tomatoes\n2 tangelos\n1 cup grapes (freeze them first for an icy-delicious treat)\n1 cup pretzels\n3 cups air-popped popcorn sprinkled with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese\n6 mini rice cakes\n6 baby carrots with ¼ cup fat-free ranch dressing to "dip"\n1 apple with 1 tablespoon peanut butter\n\n\nTop Ten Need-to-Cheat Treats\nSometimes, you just have to have that treat. There are ways to satisfy your sweet tooth -- without blowing your diet: \n12 animal crackers\n2 small chocolate chip cookies\n2 Oreo cookies\n½ cup fat-free, sugar-free pudding\n1 peanut butter cup candy\n25 chocolate-covered raisins\n1 lollipop\n3 caramel candy squares\n½ cup fat-free ice cream\n1 fat-free fudgesicle ice cream bar \n\n\nTop Drop-Five Tips\n• Limit alcohol. Alcoholic beverages add calories but not nutrients. Keep your consumption to one drink per week. \n• Drink more water. Carry a water bottle with you at all times. Drink at least five, 8-ounce glasses of water throughout the day and drink 8 to 16 ounces of water with every meal. \n• Eat slowly and steadily. Eat a meal or snack every three to four hours to avoid being hungry. Eat meals and snacks slowly, savoring every delicious bite. \n• Stop eating two hours before you go to bed. \n• Curb your sweet tooth. By avoiding sweetened beverages such as soda and fruit drinks, you curb your cravings for all sweets. Choose water instead of diet soda\n• Keep up with your exercise routine. You might consider longer or more intense workouts to increase the calorie burn. \n• Measure your porti

I think losing weight is always an easy decision to make but a tough action to follow through. \n\nYour family, in this time is going to be your rock and support and don't feel ashamed that you have to ask them to help too. By turning some critical triggers in your lifestyle you can lose that 30kg. \n\nDiet is an important aspect of weight loss. The essence of weight loss is that you burn more calories then you actually intake. You do not have to lessen the amount you eat, often its just the type of food and liquids we consume that can make a difference.\n\nInstead of driving to work, perhaps take public transport and walk to the station and to work etc...\n\nExercise should not consume your life...but should be a healthy balance. Use the time you spend with your children to do exercise as well. You said that you can't keep up with them...perhaps you can got for walks, slow jogs with them...invent games around a healthy lifestyle. \n\nThere are lot of diet websites out there...which are a good start...however self motivation is what is going to really determine whether you lose that 30kg

Cut out all sugars and cut way back on your Carbs.If you drink soda drink only diet. Do not eat at fast food joints.\n I am 34 and have lost 19lbs in 1 month. The more you exercise the better. Your input must be lower than your output of calories. Simple math.

techniaccly speaking to lose 10kg in a week is really un healthy.  u'd have to pratically starve urself becuase of the amount of calories that u take in.  in one week you could not lose 10kg maybe in 2-3 weeks and thats with regular heart pumping excercise and a healthy diet and by excercise i'm talking at lest 60minutes a day or maybe more

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

first of all, forget what other people say, its OKAY! to lose 20 pounds in a month.  had to get that out of the way.  anyways, all you need is will power.  If you have junkfood in your house, throw it out, or give it to a neighbor.  Have someone go grocery shopping with you a couple of times.  It should help.  \nAnd remember: "Food is neither friend or foe." \n-Breanna Philips (me. hehe)\nDon't think of food as your friend, dont get attatched.  but dont hate it.  treat yourself every once in a while.  \n\nplus, you cant JUST diet.  You need to exercise.  I'd have to say that dieting is only 10% or 20% of it for most people.  Believing that you can succeed is part of it too.  It isnt just dieting, or dieting and exercising.  \n\nYOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!\n\nhope i've helped a bite ;) \nemail me if you'd like o_blondee@yahoo.com\n\n\nremember losing 20 pounds is okay! (as long as your not already 100)  :)  i've been studying to become a nutritionist, so i got to say that i know more than ATLEAST 1/2 the people here.

that isnt healthy to do. that is about 55 pounds, and to lose that in 2 months means you would have to lose almost 7 pounds a week, or a pound a day. the most you are supposed to lose is about 2 pounds per week. \nto lose weight, you could cut your portions down and exercise, and drink a lot of water (which flushes fat and toxins out of your body), but i dont think you should shoot for 25 kg in 2 months.

Please talk a doctor before trying a weight lost program.  Your goal of 25 pounds in one month is a little high. If your trying to lose weight the healthy way you should only lose 2- 3 pounds a week. That's 24-36 pounds in 3 months.  I would suggest to try to get a trainer. The reason why I suggest a trainer is because they will push you more than I' m sure you will push yourself and sometimes that's what you need. I have lost weight on my own but I got so much more from training with a trainer. They also can give you a meal plan, teach you how to breathe properly when  exercising, and also how to use the machines properly. If you can't afford a trainer go to a book store and purchase a book called The Body Sculpting Bible for Women by James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera. Its very informative it will tell how to use certain machines at the gym and how many sets you should do per exercise.  Also it will suggest a meal plan and  supplements.\n     Start out slow but please make sure you are stretching before working out for at least 5 minutes and a 5 to 10 minute warm up before your actual work out.  I don't know if you have a membership at a gym but that's what worked for me.  I would go after work and work out for and hour to two hours depending on what exercises I was doing that day. My routine was Mon. Wed. Fri. were my cardio days(running for 25 minutes on the tread, biking, walking stairs, jumping rope like a boxer, precor or elliptical machines) Pick one cardio exercise and do that for 25 minutes than do a 15 minutes of abs then 30 minutes of another cardio exercise.  On Tues and Thursdays were my weight training days. Tues was upper body and Thursday was lower body.  \n       I hope that this helps you lose the weight. Try not to give up I know its hard.   Try to eat at least 5 - 6 small meals a day. Tip: I eat my meals on saucers not an actual plate.  It helps me lower my food intake. I hope this helps.

I used to be 10kgs overweight and did the following (Lost about .5kgs each week over a four month period, trimed down more after that and am now at a stable weight with < 6% body fat)\n\nFollow the 80/20 rule. \n\nIf your diet is really bad, focus 80% on that, 20% on exercise.\nNutrition:\ncut out alcohol\nbalance 1 portion protein/1 portion carbs in every meal. A portion is what can fit easily in one hand - and eat lots of vegetables\ndrink 2 litres water\nhave 5-6 meals a day\nplan your meals the night before - be prepared\nuse only slim foods - no chikcen skin, no cream, no lollies/sweets. cut out butter, mayonaise etc, pizza, fried foods\nExercise:\nModerate all round for first 3-4 weeks - but - each worekout consists of 4-5 exercises, with 6 reps each:\n\ne.g Bench Press\nset 1: 12 reps, 60kg\nset 2: 10 reps increase weight 65kg\nset 3: 8 reps increase weight 70kg\nset 4: 6 reps increase weight 72.5kg\nset 5: 12 reps increase weight 75kg\nset 6: 12 reps new exercise from same body group e.g. incline press 50kg\n\nIf you want to focus on abs, do 3x20 crunches on a swiss/ exercise ball after each workout session.\n\nTip: your workout should only take 45mins each day - and try to do a minimum of 3-4 days per week. If you are keen on running, fit this in for 20 minutes every other day.\n\nDo this and you could expect to loose up to 0.5 kg per week, maybe even a kilo per week 9but no more as your body will not cope with such a rapid weight loss)
