it depends on how many months a "few" is and how overweight you are.  my best advice for losing weight would be to concern yourself more with the eating healthy and exercising part - the weight loss will come naturally.  i think that 20 pounds is possible, although i believe the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't lose more than a pound/week.  drink a lot of water - it will help curb your appetite and keep you from losing water weight which will come back quickly.

am not sure, but I don't think you could...  I suggest that you just do your thing, take less food do more physical activity and then, by the eight day just be happy with whatever amount of weight you lost.. Am sure, even a pound lost will be something rather than gaining one.  I am on a diet too.  I need to loose about 15lbs and I wish I could do it in one month.  I have been trying to loose weight for a month now.  I do tae bo and limit my food.  In about three weeks I just lost around 4.4 pounds tho there were days when I got tempted and failed my food diet... But that does not stop me from trying to still loose the 15 lbs I dream to shed.\n\nSo good luck to us... Keep in touch and pls inform me if ever you lose the 14 lbs in 8 days

I lost about 1kgs within a two weeks, so that is about 2kg a month. It is not much, but there are no weight fluctuations for the past months despite eating as normal. I did not exercise, diet or take any diet pills. Just drank more water than usual, took my time to finish my meals and stress from work. Stress is a very good weight buster for me i guess. I'm not telling you to do the same. Just maintain a healthy diet and drink lots of water.

You shouldn't lose that much weight in one week.  It's not healthy.  If you're going to do it regardless, you could always starve yourself I guess, but in the end, you'll just gain it all back.  There is no healthy way to lose 10 pounds in one week.  Healthy is 2-3 pounds a week.

losing 10 kilos in ten days is very very dangerous and unhealthy for anybody.  think about this:  a regular person consumes an average of 1500-1800 calories a day, and in order to lose 1 pound, you have to burn off twice that much calories.  in order for the body systems to function properly, you need a daily calorie intake of at least 1000 calories, and to burn 3000 calories in a day, you have to do about 6 hours of exercises.\n\nplease do not do this, it is very very dangerous to your health.  you'll be jeopardizing a lot more if you force yourself to do that.

Sure- you can lose 10 pounds in a day if you really want to, (boxers, and other athletes do this all the time to make weight), but it will not really affect your overall appearance.  Losing weight safely and effectively takes work and time- realistic goals of burning fat (sparing muscle tissue) should be limited to about 2 lbs per week.  Anything more than this is not healthy and could be dangerous.  Every pound of fat equals 3500 calories.  So for example, if you can cut 3500 calories from your diet in a week, and burn 3500 more in exercise, you will be able to lose 2 pounds of fat in a week.  There are other factors, but these are good guidelines to set a basis.  OK- 2 lbs per week * 8 weeks (your 2 months) is one pound more than you need, but it wont be easy.  Lots of exercise, water, and eating several small meals throughout the day is key.  Doesn't matter what kind of cardio you do, just start burning those calories.

How much weight are you talking about. I mean 5 pound 100 pounds. I can promise you that you can lose it quicker then you gained it. It sounds like you are being unrealistic with this 10 day thing.

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

Running 1 mile burns about 100 calories, so in one month, if you ran everyday, that's about 3000 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So running one mile daily, while it is good exercise, is not really enough to lose weight.  It would be better to build up to 3 - 5 miles every other day.  Then you would lose weight.  It won't make your thighs or butt bigger.

You may not lose that much by may, but i bet you will look and feel much better if you try weight watchers & one of the meetings!\nGood Luck!!

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.

you would probably lose weight for the first month or two and then it would even out in the next 3 months. you would probably lose 10-20lbs, if you exercise like walk for 30 min every day or 45min-1hr every other day too.

losing ten pounds in a week really isnt healthy... but if you have to...\n\nexcercise EVERYDAY and burn off every calorie you eat. Better yet, DONT EAT... drinks tons of water... \n\nBut this really isnt a good thing to do

1200 calories a day will not help you lose weight\nyour body will be in starvation mode and actually keep weight on--and make it harder to lose\n\nyou want to eat at least 1500-1800 in order to be efficient in weight loss.\n\nthe most your body can lose in one week is 1-2 lbs of fat--equivalent to 3500-7000 calories respectively\nsince 1 lb of fat = 3500 calories, a person would have to eat 500 calories less per day or burn 500 more per day in order to lose one lb of fat in a week\n\nit's healthy to lose 4-8 lbs of fat per month--10 lbs is pushing it a little, but it is humanly possible, given your exercise plans and weight lifting is consistent and efficient\n\nkeep in mind you want to do cardiovascular activity such as walking AFTER you lift weights for pure fat burn\n\ngood luck

Losing thirty pounds in one week is definetly not healthy.  The best way to lose weight is gradually and not all at once because if you lose it all at once, chances are the weight will come back.

Can't be done.  12 pounds is your MAXIMUM safe weight loss per month.\n\nCreate a long-term plan for youself.  Change the BALANCE of your diet - you like ice cream, OK, but just one NORMAL portion in a day, and the rest of your intake balanced between protein, vegetables, and UNsaturated fats.  AND EXERCISE - just walk 30 minutes every day... split it up into 15 minutes morning and 15 minutes night if you want to.\n\nBe healthy, it will come off if you respect yourself enough to make it work for you.
