With this method you can lose 1 pound a day, guaranteed! I've done it before... \n\nYou can eat as much as you want but limited only to:\n1. breakfast - 1 slice toast, 1 glass grapefruit juice, 1 slice fruit (anything except banana). Papaya is good. \n2. lunch (no rice) - burger steak, beef steak, grilled chicken, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables. \n3. dinner (no rice) - you can choose anything from lunch option but if you had chicken for lunch have something else for dinner. \n4. snacks - diet coke, carrot sticks\n\nDont eat french fries, rice, potato, sweets, ice cream. \nJogging for 30 minutes a day.  Do this for two weeks, then take a two week break, you can eat anything you want but in moderation, then do the same thing for another two weeks until you reach desired weight. You will lose at least 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 1 lb per day. Guaranteed. If you have more questions, email me.. I'll give you my chart. and show you my before and after photographs...

I would suggest the Medifast Diet from take Shape fro Life. It is healthy and really easy to do. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far. It teaches you to eat 5-6 meals a day every 2-3 hours and you will lose weight quickly and healthy. I hope this helps.

You can lose a lot of weight between now and the summer if you work at it a little.   If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose quite a lot of weight by July.  You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast. This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 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.  Use the calculator at one of the links to figure out a sensible number of calories for you.\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 for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.  Start by walking around the block if that is what you can do now, and increase a little every 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 burning more calories than you take in leads to weight loss.  Remember 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\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4.   Even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. Be strong.  You can do this. Good luck with it.

I don't know if you can lose that much weight in that short of time, but I really don't think its healthy if you do.  I would expect 60-90 lbs.  Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and 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 and no smoking  if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it 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.  Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \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, but start with these steps, once you get your endurance up you can do more with speed. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help.  Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

Yes it is possible, but is it healthy? You should set  a goal for yourself that is like I will lose 3 pounds a week. In 6 weeks you be about 18 pounds less.

Having that much weight to lose can seem overwhelming.  Instead of focusing on the total weight loss you need, set short goals.  For example, you might set your 1st goal at 225 pounds.  (Even losing that weight will make you look better and give you more energy).  \n\nDon't do anything dangerous or fall into the quick weight loss trap (it never lasts).  Don't starve yourself either.  The fast foods must go!!!!  Unless you can really go to McDonalds and only get a salad.  Don't stress on counting calories.  Eat healthful foods--fruits, vegetables, protein (meat)-- and stop when you get full.  Instead of chips, eat a pickle.  Replace ice cream with yogurt.  Each smart choice will eventually pay off.  Limit the sweets and be careful how your food is prepared. If you must drink sodas, make you're they're diet.\n\nOf course, exercise is key.  If it's difficult, then start out walking.  If you walk slower, it's okay.  You'll just have to walk for a longer period of time.  Each week focus on walking faster and longer.  \n\nFinally, YOU MUST DRINK YOU WATER (at least 8 8oz glasses per day). \n\nYahoo groups has many support groups for people trying to lose weight.  Good luck and don't get discouraged.

Do a colon cleansing, then drink lots of water while avoiding red meat, poultry skin, dark meat of chicken or turkey (avoid these, white meat is okay), eat five times as many greens without butter or adding salt.  To lose weight very fast you must avoid all oils, salts, fats and eat more, yes more, frequently.  Eat a small meal every two to three hours avoiding the above no no's, while drinking water only.  Also avoid caffine and fruit juice, bread, etc. and if you possibly can walk up to 45 minutes everyday.  Stop eating two to three hours before going to bed.\n\nThis should remove ten pounds in two weeks.  Good luck.

If you have 6 weeks to lose weight do it properly. Be careful cause if you lose too much weight the dress will not fit nicely. \n\nFor the next 6 weeks go on a 1200 calorie plan where you eat 5-6 small meals a day. Here is a menu plan to assist: \nBreak - cereal w skim (low go type please)\nSnack 1 - apple\nLunch - multigrain sandwich w 50g lean meat and salad only\nSnack 2 - low gi yogurt\ndinner - 120g lean meat grilled & green leafy vegetables\n\nDo not eat dinner after 6pm. Drink 3 litres of water. \n\nExercise - you need to do at least 6 sessions per week for 1.5 hours a day. I use the following: \n3 weight sessions - refer to www.bodybuilding.com \nNever do weights two days in a row. \n3 cardio sessions - running or spin or boxing\nIf your classes fall less than 1.5 hours do more cardio before and after. It is when your body is totally exhausted will you see some great results quickly. Go hard!\n\nNever eat carbs within 2 hours or within 1 hour after exercise. Plan your meals and be totally dedicated. You will get results within the first week of around 1kg min. You could lose up to 6-9kgs within this time frame. \n\nBe strong losing weight is a mental journey. Note that to maintain you need to continue exercising and go to 1500 cals per day but workout 3-4 times per week. Be careful it's really addictive!\n\nGood luck!

This is the real McCoy so follow this and you will be on the road in no time. If you want to lose more than 2 kgs per week you need to exercise over 2 hours per day. But it's unrealistic at times to do this so work within your limits. \n\nIf you want to do this for life you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1.5 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g lean meat & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Check with your doctor before starting anything new.  But the best way to lose weight quickly is a good diet and exercise program.  If you're exercising already, then you could try and modify you workout plan.  Some need to just increase weight/strength training, some need to increase the number of days, and some need to increase their cardio training.  Without knowing what you do now, it's hard to give a suggestion.\n\nAlso, make sure you're eating healthy.  Avoid diets that eliminate or restrict certain food groups.  When you start eating them again, you gain the weight back and then some.   Drink 8 -10 8oz glasses of water a day!  Your doctor could recommend a health diet.    \n\nAlso, becareful of diet suppliements.  Some help you lose weight quickly, but when you stop taking them, your metabolism decreases and the weight can come back if you aren't doing other things to maintain the increased metabolism the supplement created.

It is often better to lose weight over a longer period because, it really goes away. If you lose it fast, it comes back fast.\n\nAnyway, if you want to lose it fast .......... Weight loss is directly proportional to Energy burnt minus the food intake. You need to increase your burning of fat ..... walking briskly, jogging, aerobic excercises, playing a game like badminton, swimming, cycling or any of these for 45 minutes to 1 hour daily. Next reduce your intake. Some live on fruit juice, fruits and salads for a week or 10 days !!! Take a multi vitamin pill daily and drink lots of water.\n\nBetter to talk to a doctor if you are very young, very old or sickly type.\n\nMay God bless you. I know how tough it is to lose weight. Have a strong will power and start NOW !!!

Start out by drinking half your weight in ounces of water daily.\n\nCut out all sweets, meats & anything white.\nEat lots of salads and veggies and take a very good multivitamin.\n'My Favorite Multiple' by Natrol is one of the best.  Always take it with food  (in the capsule form)  so it breaks down and absorbs with your food. You can also have fruit .. but not too much and preferably early in the day (for energy.)\n\nEat small meals more often - 5-6 per day, rather than 3 meals ... it will keep your metabolism active. If you have to have bread, make sure it's whole grain ... this will add fiber to your diet and move things along nicely.  Fish is good too .. salmon is the best.  You can have fish 2-4 times a week.\nTry not to eat after 7:30 at night. (if you get hungry, just drink more water).\nHoodia is something which stops you from being hungry. If you get a good brand it works. Follow the directions.\n\nShort of doing the above ... if you can't control your eating habits,\nwrite to me and will tell you how I lost 36 lbs in 6 weeks with a patented formula of engineered nutrition!! I went from being a size 16 to a size 6.

For losing such a large number of pounds there is no asap. This requires a lot of patience (sorry) and change of lifestyle in general. \n\nAlso - you would be more successful if you make your initial target more realistic, like losing 20 pounds, holding them for a few months and then again 20 and so on. \n\nIn general it is really - it less, about 1000- 1200 kcal per day and exercise in a healthy way (increase it slowly if your body is not used to it). \n\nIf you can afford it he best is to do the weight loss under supervision of a doctor or better in a clinic where they also teach you different nutrition. the important thing is that you have to change your whole way to eat and move and all habits associated with that. There is a lot of mental work involved in this change. Like getting used to smaller portions, less "bad" fat and using "good " fats instead. In general eating less and much more veggies and fruit than you did in the past. \n\nOver time you will see the effect and also lose your cravings and your body will adjust to it's new weight. \n\nIf you still think you want to do this asap and this is possible then be careful with how you do this. You need to exercise but start it slowly, you need to eat less but make sure you get all nutrients a body needs. Go at least to weight watcher meetings.
