It depends on how much you currently weigh.  Weight Watchers stresses losing 1-2 lb a week, so 10-20 weeks to lose 20 lb.\n\nIf you'd like something faster, check Kimkins: http://tinyurl.com/ybyvhb

40 pounds is not a lot you know like 100 pounds or more.\nStart cutting back on what and how you eat.\nIf you have a problem with trying to figure out what to eat then join LA weight loss or weight watchers or some program to help you eat right.\n Start walking or running. (be sure and warm up first) When you get your heart rate up you lose weight.\nDon't keep looking at your weight loss as 40 pounds look at how much you can lose in a week. Do not weight yourself everyday! Weigh only once a week same day and same time if possible. Drink water! Check the Internet there are a lot of programs out there. If you have no will power join a gym and a weight watchers program. \nGood luck hang in there you did not put the weight on in 3-monthes so give it time to come off.

way too much to lose in a month! Eat in moderation, exercise, limit fat and calories.  You could lose up to 2 pounds a week and it would still be considered a healthy weight loss.  Join a weight loss club such as Weight Watchers and talk to your doctor about losing weight.

Weight watchers is a very good program that can teach you how to lose weight.  They assign point values to different foods, and then tell you how many points you can have for the day.  When you reach your limit, you either don't eat anything else, or you can have zero point foods.  With a little planning you won't eat up all your points by noon, and feel like you have to starve yourself the rest of the day.  After i got used to the program, I would find myself with quite a few points left at the end of the day.\nWeight watchers really taught me how to eat right, and what the proper size of a portion was.  I lost 30 lbs while on it, over 2 years ago, and still have the weight off.\nYou can either go to the meetings, or you can do what I did, and sign up on line. http://www.weightwatchers.com/index.aspx\nIt was about $12.00 a month-money well spent.\n\nGood luck to you.

Well, if you want to lose it and keep it off 1 - 2 pounds per week is safe (and realistic) - It took awhile to put it on, it's going to take awhile to get it off.

Yeah I was wondering this myself as I watched it this week and one guy lost twenty pounds in one week.  Wtf?!!  I think they make them exercise 4-5 hours a day and starve themselves.  I have heard that a healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week, and if you lose faster than that, you are more likely to gain it back.  These people are losing 5, 10, up to 20 pounds per week. It makes me wonder once the show is over if they will be able to maintain their loss.

Well 30 lbs isn't a very healthy amount to lose in one month, but twenty is ok, although it wont be easy. The best HEALTHY way to do it is to do lots of cardio Exercise (like running or aerobics, something that really gets your heart rate up). Also keep your calories low, about 1700-1800 per day, so watch your food labels. Also drink about one gallon of water per day, that was something important that I didn't do but will help. Hope it goes well!

You're not going to lose twenty lbs by using the ab lounge. To lose weight, you have to combine cardiovascular exercises w/ weight training and have a healthy diet. Losing twenty lbs in 2 weeks is extremely unhealthy. The recommended amount of weight to lose is 2 lbs in one week. Start exercising and cleaning up your diet a bit you'll lose the weight slowly but in a healthy manner.\n\nOh and to answer your question, the ab lounge does not work. At least, not for me it didn't.

cannot lose more than 2-3lbs/week safely.\n\nTake before/after photos, at one week or one month intervals.\n\nThe changes will be subtle, so daily mirror checks will be disapointing.

Please talk a doctor before trying a weight lost program.  Your goal of 25 pounds in one month is a little high. If your trying to lose weight the healthy way you should only lose 2- 3 pounds a week. That's 24-36 pounds in 3 months.  I would suggest to try to get a trainer. The reason why I suggest a trainer is because they will push you more than I' m sure you will push yourself and sometimes that's what you need. I have lost weight on my own but I got so much more from training with a trainer. They also can give you a meal plan, teach you how to breathe properly when  exercising, and also how to use the machines properly. If you can't afford a trainer go to a book store and purchase a book called The Body Sculpting Bible for Women by James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera. Its very informative it will tell how to use certain machines at the gym and how many sets you should do per exercise.  Also it will suggest a meal plan and  supplements.\n     Start out slow but please make sure you are stretching before working out for at least 5 minutes and a 5 to 10 minute warm up before your actual work out.  I don't know if you have a membership at a gym but that's what worked for me.  I would go after work and work out for and hour to two hours depending on what exercises I was doing that day. My routine was Mon. Wed. Fri. were my cardio days(running for 25 minutes on the tread, biking, walking stairs, jumping rope like a boxer, precor or elliptical machines) Pick one cardio exercise and do that for 25 minutes than do a 15 minutes of abs then 30 minutes of another cardio exercise.  On Tues and Thursdays were my weight training days. Tues was upper body and Thursday was lower body.  \n       I hope that this helps you lose the weight. Try not to give up I know its hard.   Try to eat at least 5 - 6 small meals a day. Tip: I eat my meals on saucers not an actual plate.  It helps me lower my food intake. I hope this helps.

There are many plans that work, the key is really what will work for yur personality and discipline type. I used (and still use)Weight Watchers and was very successful. I lost 123 pounds and now I run marathons, teach dance and even tried out for womens professional football, I used to be 256 pounds and would get tired walking ! Weight Watchers is great because it is so felxible, the weekly meeting really help with support and education about nutrition and excercise topics. Go to Weightwatchers.com and check it out!

3 - 5 months, depending on your body and age.\n\nYou shouldn't lose anymore than 2 pounds a week.

Weight Watchers has the most effective plan for losing weight.  I would contact them.  Most of the other plans are overpriced and do not have good results.

I lost 48 pounds in about 9 months, and I have kept it off.  I totally recommend this program, for this very important reason:\nI did not have to buy food or follow a pre-set food program.  I was able to eat the foods that I liked most, and I LEARNED how to prepare them in a way that allowed me to lose weight.  If I hadn't learned how to deal with everyday food properly, I would probably gain all the weight back.  Weight Watchers teaches you how to maintain your weight loss for life.\nI did increase my activity, and Weight Watchers teaches you how to balance the amount of food you eat to how much activity you do.

I did Weight Watchers and walked on my treadmill for 3 miles per day and I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months.  Definitely cut back your caloric intake and start walking or running.

Weight watchers is the best program out there.  You can eat all the foods you like, but the key is moderation - especially the bad foods.  I joined weight watchers 4 months ago and lost 30 lbs!  Of course, if you want to get your body in shape as you're losing the weight, it is best to exercise as well.  Remember exercise doesn't have to be in a gym, you can go walking, do household chores or go up and down the steps in your house.
