Its not health to lose it "really quickly."\n\nIf you are dancing and walking that much, then it tends to suggest that your leg muscles are pretty toned, right?  Muscle weighs more than fat.  For your height, you are technically within the normal range if you have a large body frame.\n\nIf you are really concerned about it, then you should lower your caloric intake by about 500 calories a day.  it sounds like you get plenty of of exercise.  I think that you probably weight a little more due to muscle mass.  Muscle also holds onto water, which increases your weight.\n\nIf you want to lose weight, expect to do so by losing about 0.5 to 2 pounds per week.  Quick ways to lose that much weight at your current weight could be harmful.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

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!

Be VERY careful when trying to lose weight fast.  It is terribly bad for you to lose any more than 4 lbs a week.\n\nTo lose weight, you must exercise a LOT!  In addition, you should eat more than 3 times a day, but only tiny portions.  Maybe a half a fruit and some nuts.  Stay away from high fat items like mayonaise, cheese and fatty meats.  Eat fish, lean chicken or turkey, and PLENTY of vegetables.\n\nDon't forget to exercise every day.  Don't overdo it or you will burn yourslef out.

you're probably not gonna want to hear this but there is no quick and safe way to lose weight; but there is a sure way. It will take some time. Increase your physical activity and reduce your caloric intake. Simply eat a little less and exercise a little more. Exercise doesn't have to be working out all the time. Any sustained  activity will work. Take brisk walks, wash your car, whatever. IT WILL WORK! you just have to be patient because it takes time but losing weight slower inceases the chances that it will stay off.No gimmicks or fad diets; just common sense.

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! ;)

There are some that can help you lose weight fast, but are not good for your body at all. Diet pills are not a good choice when trying to lose weight. Simply changing your style of eating, like halving portions, or adding 3 glasses of milk a day will help lose weight quickly. I've lost 20 lbs in the last 3 months by diet and exercise, but even just changing your diet will do a lot. Talking to your doctor about what would work best for you is also a very important step in losing weight. There is probably a lot you can do besides taking a "magic pill" that is easier on your body and you.

Okay, it's going to be nearly impossible to lose 15 pounds in a week with that amount of food intake. As for meals, they should consist mostly of steamed or raw vegetables with unsalted and unoiled nuts/beans for protein. The protein shouldn't be from cashews, pistachios, or butterbeans but healthy sources like kidney or black beans and peanuts, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Stay away from white starches(no potatoes). All carbohydrates should be from whole grains and there shouldn't be many of them. Snacks should be granola (without sugar or whole yogurt added) or fruit, nuts or raw vegetables (no dip!). The diet will be more effective if the first day is spent with a detoxifying diet (like a 24 hour diet of only organic fruit juices). Breakfast should be with hot water and lemon juice or hot green/white tea (no sugar or added milk) and a diet cereal (like Special K or Total). A cup of coffee would be okay if you skipped the sugar and milk. All milk should be skim. Caloric intake should be around 1800 calories or less per day. Exercise should be running (continuous) whether fast or slow for three miles or more.

The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

Don'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\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

The easiest most healthiest way to lose weight fast is to go on a fruit and vegetable, salad, and soup diet. Most of these foods are considered negative calories, calories that get burned up in your digestive system. \n\nAlong with this, excercise!

angela, there is not a healthy QUICK way to lose weight, a healthy way is to focus on well balanced meals, healthy snacks fruits and vegies, 8-10 glasses of water a day, that is 8 oz per glass... AT least. Just set your mind to eating healthier and the extra water, cuting out sweets,chips, cakes, actually most junk foods to special occasions or a treat on the weekends. Cola's are a good thing to cut out also, to a min.  try to stretch while getting out of bed, and try to jog in place for about 10-15 min before breakfast, showering or whatever it is you do when you get out of bed in the mornings... just a change in your daily routine will help too.  Trick your body into thinking its getting more excersice than you are really getting... its a mind thing.  just move around and cut out fatty and sugary foods.

A good meal plan to follow and lose weight quickly is the following:\n\n1) Drink 8 glasses of water/ day. Preferably 2 glasses before meals and the rest in between...or whatever works for you.\n\n2) Eat daily three portions of protein. I myself prefer to eat vegetarian protein rather than animal based protein. \n\nFor breakfast eat:\n2 eggs or 1 cup cottage cheese\n2 slices of whole wheat toast\n1 fruit\n2 glasses of water\nsome kind of fat--if you are not allergic to nuts, eat 8 almonds.\n\nSnack\nYou can eat a fruit or a cup of low fat yogurt\n\nLunch\nEat a salad with 1 cup of cucumbers, 1 cup of lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes or whatever vegetable all 1 cup, except for carrots--only 1/4 cup.\n4 slices of vegetarian bologna or a chicken breast\n2 slices of whole wheat bread\nno juice--you may drink iced tea with lemon.\n\n2nd Snack\nanother fruit\n(when snacking stay away from chips, chocolates--if you feel the need to eat something chocolaty, eat a cup of chocolate pudding (Huntz or Jello) if you want chips buy Quaker products, like rice cakes or rice tortilla chips. They are low fat, but very tasty!!!)\n\nDinner\nIncorporate whatever you like, but remember that your plate must be divided into 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%carbohydrates. A typical dinner would be 1 chicken breast, salad and 1/4 cup brown rice.\nIced tea.\n\nSnack 3\n1 cup of popcorn or a glass of milk.\n\nFollow this plan for a week and you'll see the difference =)\nBest regards.

Be careful about losing weight rapidly.  Slow, steady weight loss is more likely to last than dramatic weight changes. Healthy plans aim for a loss of no more than ½ to 2 pounds per week (although, the more you weight, the more you'll lose initially - also men tend to lose quicker than females). If you lose weight quickly, you'll lose muscle, bone, and water instead of the fat you want to leave behind. \n\nAccording to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most successful weight-loss strategies include calorie reduction combined with increased physical activity and behavior-modification therapy designed to improve eating and exercise habits. \n\nWeight Watchers is a good program that encompasses all areas of your life -- and you can still eat your favorite food...you're not restricted to certain food groups (like Atkin's)...and you get rewarded for exercise.  Look into it...

You cant.  You will be doing well if you lose 10lbs in that time.  Diet and exercise is the only way and that takes time and patience...;

I would say the best way to lose 10 lbs the healthy way is to substitute 2 meals a day with a whole grain cereal and eat the last meal as you normally do. Try this for 2 weeks and get back to me.
