PLEASE read ALL of this. its very correct info and WILL help you.\n\ndont try to loose it fast. please. if you do, it is usually unhealthy and you will gain it back.\n\nyou cannot "spot reduce". its just not possible. maybe spot tone.. like tone up your calfs or whatever.. but spot reduction isnt possible [w/out lipo and other surgeries]\n\nwhen you loose weight, it comes off everywhere, and very slowly. dont give up.\n\ntake time and read all these articles [it might take a while but its totally worth it.]\n\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-Effectively-and-Safely\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-Without-Going-Hungry\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Lose-5-Pounds-in-5-Weeks\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Start-Walking-for-Exercise\n[there are many more articles also]\n\nnow heres what i say:\n- eat less and more often [like every 3 hours, eat 200-300 calories]\n- drink plenty of water\n- walk. alot. [then once you are able to walk alot w/out getting tired, try running or other things]\n- dont starve yourself. dont go on those fad diets [lose 10 pounds in 5 days!! etc] you will just gain the weight back.\n- after you lose the weight, keep eating healthy and excersizing. it CAN come back.\n- alcohol is empty calories. dont drink.\n\n\nthats all i can think of for now.\n\nif you do all those things i said and what is in those weibsites and it still doesnt work, buy this book:\n\n-title: YOU: the owners Manual. \n-author: Micheal F. Roizen & Mehmet C. Oz \nit teaches you all about your body, health, excersize, the healthy way to do things, everything. i learned soooo much form it. even for non-overweight people it is a great book to have.\n\nalso knowing your blood type will help you figure out which foods are good & bad for you. i dont know what the book is called but im sure you could go to a popular book store or a health store and ask them about it. It just tells you about what foods are good and bad for you for each bloodtype, and many other things about it too. its a great book sorry i dont know the name.\n\n\n\nremember: read all those articles in the links. they will truly help. and dont give up. it will probably be really hard.\n\n\n\nPS. \nyou shouldnt do "juice/liquid" diets. they supposedly clean out your intestines, liver, etc. BUT, the truth is, is that those things clean themselves. honestly. The liver is your cleaning system for your body, skipping meals and only drinking liquid wont help. trust me. im well informed.\n\n\nhope i helped! you dont need luck- i know you can do it.

the best diet i have done is very very cheap. Drink a lot of water i mean like at least 6-8 glasses a day, and also, instead of eating 3 meals a day eat 5 small meals. you dont have to starve yourself or eat things you dont like. I lost 23 lbs. this way after i had my 4th child. I lost it in about 3 weeks. It is healthy and cheap.

Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...\n\nand try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...\n\n\nfor lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...\n\n\nthen for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...\n\n\neat sandwiche

A balanced diet and exercise 3-4 times a week!! Try to cut down on your calorie, 5000 calorie more than you need results in a pound gain (OH NO!!) and if you burn 5000 calorie without re-intaking it, you should be losing one pound!! Don't dehydrate yourself when you workout tho!!\n\nOh, one more thing, researches show that, sometimes when you feel like eating, you are not necessarily hungry, in fact most of the time it's just cos that you're thirsty!! So keep drinking water, when you are hydrated enough you can apparently focus on your work better too!!\n\nHave a great day! :D

It's only alright to loose 6lbs in the first or second week of dieting. This is when you loose your water weight... after that, the maximum you should loose a week and still be healthy is 2lbs. The best way to loose weight is to eat healthily. Never eat hydrogenated oils, enriched flour, high-fructose corn syrup, or saturated-fats (like lard). Don't drink soda (diet is just as bad as regular), donuts, fries, etc. Cut red meat out of your diet. It's not good for you. Eat FISH. Especially Salmon. It's high in omega-3's. And, contrary to popular belief, you need fat to burn fat. You just need the right KIND of fat. Eat whole grains. Drink a LOT of water and Green Tea. Also, eat only fresh foods. Canned and Frozen stuff have a lot of sodium... which causes bloating. Eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.\n\nAnd walk a LOT.

You don't want to loose thirty pounds in one week. Loosing weight has to take time! It is very unhealthy and your chances of gaining the weight back greatly increases. \n\nTo loose weight:  \n\n1. you must exercise everyday for the rest of your life, take a walk, go for a job, get on your bike, take up a sport, try boxing, or squash, start swimming...\nOur bodies are meant to move.\n2. Eat lots of fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Variety is key!\n3. Stop drinking pop and some fruit juices. Read the labels, if it contains sugar, don't drink it. \n4. Eat less meat, Eat more fish.\n\nThose are some of my tips.\n\nRemember it took 13 years to get to the weight you're at or your child is at now. Take it slow. Change the way you eat for life. Change the way you move for life and a healthy weight will follow. If you're at an unhealthy weight now you're probably leading an unhealthy lifestyle. You need to change it and never go back.\n\nYou want to be healthy. A slim person is not necessarily a healthy person. Even if you or your child does manage to loose thirty pounds in one week, more damage than good would have been done.\n\nRethink what you value more. Ask yourself questions. Why are you at an unhealthy weight? Why do you want to loose weight?  Are your reasons for loosing weight superficial? Are you concerned about your health?\n\nAs far as diet pills and rapid weight loss programs are concerned, There are NO quick fixes, just people trying to make a quick buck!\n\nHope this helps..\n\nSimone

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

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.

Dont try short term diets...short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period ... Because of this , once you break your diet , you'll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in...\n\nThey also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day...\n\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something...

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.

no way u can. but u can prolly lose 10 to 15 lbs by then. so try that out. eat healty and exercize. your goal is unrealistic. its only a few weeks away. you should have started sooner. good luck. and dont starve yourself. u will end up in the hospital, with a HUGE bill

Don't lose too quickly you'll put it all back on.  Also you risk damaging your heart (which is a muscle) because your body might be forced to burn muscle as well as fat if you eat too little. \n\nAim to lose 1-2lbs a week (it will be more to start with) by cutting out fatty and sugary snacks, alcohol and sugary drinks.  Eat three sensible low fat meals a day, and drink plenty of water.  If you are hungry between meals have a glass of water or herbal/fruit tea to fill your stomach and give you the sensation of feeeling full.\n\nDo a bit of exercise to boost your metabolism, burn some fat and build muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat but burns calories quicker, so you can eat more and put on less!

Walk five days a week, drink LOTS of water and cut down on the fats and sweets. Also, make sure you eat a good breakfast and not too heavy on the lunch and dinner.\n\n(Eat more chicken than red meat.)

First: DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! It's painful, and starving yourself makes your body resort to cannibalism. Plus, if you lose that weight quickly due to severe dieting, you have a 75% chance of gaining it all back once you stop dieting. Not cool, I know, but it's the truth.\n\nThe best way to diet is to eat less and exercise more. (I have done so much research and diet-searching, and this really does work the best. There is no miracle pill or drink that sheds the pounds.)\n\nI would suggest starting with 20 to 30 minutes of cardio (swimming, running, jump roping, etc.) for the first week and gradually increasing your workout times. Trust me, just jumping from 0 hours to 2 hours of exercise will only make you feel burned out. Also, remember to give yourself a rest day so you won't feel helpless if you really hate exercising.\n\nWhen you're on your diet, remember that every food is good in moderation. Cutting out certain foods, like good fats (which are found in nuts, olive oil, seeds), will not help you lose weight; it'll only compromise your health. Try eating a balanced diet including a little from each food group. Whole grains and low-fat dairy products in addition to a healthy diet and exercise have been known to make smaller waists. Foods rich in fiber (whole grains, pastas, vegetables) will fill you up faster and make you feel full longer. Eat smaller portions and cut back on junk food. Don't make your favorite chips forbidden, or you'll only want it even more. (speaking from experience here.) Try subsituting low-fat frozen yogurt for high-fat ice cream, or potato chips for fat-free Pringles. Do a search on yahoo for recipes light in calories but big on taste, and try some. Getting involved in light cooking helps most people get motivated to eat healthier.\n\nCounting calories will help, though it's not completely necessary. For your weight loss goals, you want to keep your caloric intake somewhere around 1,500 to 1,700. An active woman should never get less than 1,400 calories a day, and an active man should never get less than 1,600 calories a day.\n\nLittle changes in your diet and lifestyle will help loads. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Keeping a list of heart healthy snacks on the fridge will make junk food less tempting. Instead of topping your cheese sandwich with mayo, make it with a tomato slice instead. Whole grain foods and low-fat milk products have been tested in many weight loss experiments and have been found to help you lose weight. And the almighty sugarless chewing gum: Chewing it helped me stop snacking endlessly and lose 15 pounds over 6 months. (Mind you, it's okay to snack, but it helped me stop snacking on junk food.)\n\nAnd finally, don't get discouraged! Dieting takes willpower, but if you really want to have a slimmer, healthy-looking figure and you work at it, the results WILL come up, I promise. Good luck!
