Losing 28 pounds safely and permanently should take at least 3 months (2 pounds/week), and VERY few people can do that without gaining it back. That would be a very unusual pace. \n\nMore common is the 1 pound/week pace, which puts 28 pounds at about 6 months. \n\nOf course, all this depends on how overweight you are. If they're your LAST 28 pounds, it's much more difficult that the first 28 pounds. \n\nBe patient. Do it right. Diet and exercise.

im not sure how "quickly" you mean. but if you are a male, eating about 1750 calories each day and adding exercise is a great way to lose lbs.\n\nfor breakfast eat things like eggs with yogurt and fruit or oatmeal, lunch can be a tuna sandwhich or ham and cheese on wheat bread..or a salad with chicke on top... dinner can be steak chicken or fish with a couple of veggies and a potato..and snacks can be nuts, energy bars, fruit, beef jerky, etc.\n\nIf you dont exercise at all...begin with 45 minutes of light cardio like walking or biking.  then bump it up to jogging and walking. \n\nmost people can easily lose 2 lbs a week on a normal diet but i have seen people lose 5 a week on this type of diet.  The most important parts are eating HEALTHY food (you can have as much fruit and veggies as you can eat!) and trying to exercise atleast 4 days a week.\n\ngoodluck!

You can lose 10 lbs. in 4 or 5 weeks. Safest way is to lose 2-3 lbs a week. If you do more than, or do crash diets, and when you go back to your normal eating habits, the weight you lost will come back or even double! So take it slow ok? :)\nI started as 135 and I'm also trying to reach my goal weight which is 120. I lost my 3 lbs in 1.5 weeks. Here's what I did.\n\nFirst, WATER is very important. you must drink at least 8 glasses a day. It also helps suppress your appetite. Drink a glass when you wake up in the morning and before you go to asleep. Drink also a glass before every meal. And if you exercise, drink before, in the middle, and after your exercise routine. This helps you lose water weight.\nWater weight is all the water accumulated in different parts of our body because the body makes sure that it has a reserved "stock". So if you constantly drink a lot of water, the body will release the water weight (which is maybe 2-5 lbs)because it will think that the supply will always come.Ok? :)\n\nOh, and if you drink ICE COLD WATER extra calories are burned because the body can not utilize the water in its cold state. So it has to bring it to normal body temperature first.\n\nYou could also try green tea. 2 to 3 cups a day burn 80 calories. This has been proven. :) Add also lemon. :)\n\n\nEating smaller meals does help. Eat every after 3 hours. This is the time when the last meal you ate is fully digested. You must not go hungry because this will slower your metabolism.\nHere are some food suggestions:\neat foods with fiber: whole wheat bread, oatmeals or non-sugar cereals with skim milk. \nprotein: tuna in water, skinless chicken breast, eggs(not too much), low fat cheese\ncalcium: skimmed milk \n\n*It is also proven that calcium helps boost your metabolism.\n\nFruits but no bananas and Vegies but no potatoes. you can have as many as you like.\n\nYou can also have frozen yogurt. low/non fat.\n\nStay away from carbs like white bread/flour. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat them but a daily requirement is 50 grams.\nThe atkins diet tells you to take 25 g. This is dangerous and can lead to ketosis.\nStay away from sugars or starches. No sodas please. If you wish to drink fruit juices then buy fruits and use a blender. Those powdered juices have too many sugars in them. :)\n\nOh and if you wish to exercise but have no budget for gym or are too lazy to do it like I am :) hehehe. try the following while listening to your mp3 or while sight-seeing.\n\nwalking--250 calories burned an hour\nrunning--500 cal\njogging--900 cal\n\ngood luck! ;)

It depends on your age and how over-weight you are.  Someone that weighs 130 lbs. will have a harder time losing 10 lbs. than someone who weighs 180 lbs, even if they eat the same thing and exercise the same.  Ideally you should not lose more than 2 lbs. a week so in 3 1/2 months you "can" lose 28 lbs. But you probably won't.  Just remember... start eating a little less and exercising a little more and the weight will gradually and safely come off. SMALLER helpings means you can still eat the foods you love and STILL lose weight.  30 minutes of walking a day is all you really have to do.

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

Well - if puking and exlax don't count....\n\nYou cannot lose that much wait that fast even if it is water weight.  Your body is going to fight you and find ways to store fat if it thinks you are starving it.  \n\nThe trick is to consume a lot water...say about your weigh times .66 and convert the number to oz's.  Then, add in cardio (walking is fine) for 30 minutes (straight)  a day.  Lastly, adjust your goal to about 10 pounds a month and extend the time to 3 months...your body want  fight you as much.  And cut out all the fast food.

That's way too much weight to lose in such a short time. Give yourself 12-14 weeks (minimum). Eat a healthy diet and exercise. The problem with trying to lose too much weight too fast is that you will end up losing lean body mass (muscle). Your muscle tissue is what keeps your metabolism up, so by going on a crash diet and losing it, you end up making yourself fatter in the long run. Stay healthy!

A couple of common questions here amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?"  These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nThere is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

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.

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.

no pain no gain darling, to actually lose that much weight your going to have to go out of your comfort zone unless your willing to wait 3-4 years.  Just stick with the basic rules, 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, 3-4 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!

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise is fast. You need to go to the library and check out some books on nutrition. You don't want to do a harsh diet and hurt your body from nutrients and vitamins. Bake all your meat, nothing fried, green vegetables and plenty of water. Good luck

1) Curb your eating of sugars, salts and fatty things.\n2) rigorous workouts.\n\nHOWEVER.. you should be very careful and not lose too fast. Whatever your reason for wanting to lose immediately, it is NOT worth it. You should plan to lose 1 or 1 1/2 pounds a week. That is a good goal.
