Honestly, it is possible but you will need some help.  Veggie is a great way to go, but if you look at Dr. Andrew Weil (he is probably the healthiest eater out there) he is a bit rotund.  You can get big eating veggie only.  You will not be able to drop this weight and have a fat tummy without two main things - eat in a way that raises your metabolism and exercise in a way that burns fat.  You raise metabolism by small meals 5-7 times a day (protein, quality fats and whole grain carbs) and short but intense bursts of exercise.  I know you said you are busy with work and school.  Plan out your meals on Sunday and cook for the week - it will save you time, planning, money and will help you stay on your eating plan.  Exercise for 20-30 min in the morning on an empty stomach.  Interval training like sprints or doing the hard hill workout on a stationary bike will burn twice as much fat as long distance cardio and give you a nice body shape.  In the morning on an empty stomach may burn as much as 300% more fat than at other times with food in the stomach.  That means go to bed early enough to get up before school.  You have 20 min a day to exercise - we all do.  Talk with your Dr and make sure that whatever plan you come up with will not hurt you but help you reach your goals.  In additon, abs workouts make your stomach stronger and will give you nice abs but you will NEVER see them unless you burn off the fat that covers them.  Core workouts are important for overall body health, but lots of situps will never give you a six-pack is that is what you want.

Below site has slow ways to lose weight but specializes in fastest ways to lose weight. Takes off bodyfat, water retention and 3rd thing which is a trick used by models and dancers right before an event with instructions. You can share it with the bride. This trick gives you a flatter stomach and a temporary loss of 5 to 20 pounds in an hour. Is this fast enough for you?\n\nRight before fitting take an enema to get out those 5 to 20 pounds of waste. They come back after a day and a half but site has ways to minimize how much comes back. Then right before wedding do it again to temporarily look better than normal. After learning about it, I wondered if Britney Spears does this before making an appearance or music video. Well you have seen photos of celebrities at events looking great but also on street looking not so great. Mae West used to take an enema every morning.

Fast ways....eat how you normally do but during the first week take 2 bites less of everything. The next week 3 bites.....and so on...\n\nSecondly, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And park further out....Walk just a little faster. \n\nDance....if a song comes on you like...dance to it for 3 minutes or so. \n\nFinally, dont let yourself get frantic about losing weight. The stress only makes it harder.

Do a tun of crunches. If you have like 30% plus body fat 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

Eat a huge breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a tiny healthy dinner and eat your last meal before 7 pm every day.  Do that, and walk at a brisk pace twenty minutes a day four days a week and you will lose weight.  Not necessarily quickly, but you will.\nAnd no soft drinks!  Water, fruit juice, and skim milk.

There is no healthy way to "lose weight fast" as many diet products claim to do.  No fad diet, pill, or product can do the work for you.  The best way is to follow a sensible, lower-calorie diet and exercise plan.\n\nIt takes 3500 calories lost to lose 1 pound of fat.  If you create a deficit of 500 calories per day, you will lose 1 lb per week.  This can be accomlished through following a meal plan and exercise regimen.  You should do cardiovascular exercise (jogging, dancing, etc.) as well as weight training (free weights, lunges, crunches, etc.) to both burn calories and increase your metabolism.\n\nI use SparkPeople.com as a way to track my food and exercise, and they have great message boards where you can get answers from experts and people with more experience.\n\nIf you sign up for it, my username is lolitaeyes!

Take this from a woman that went from 300 pounds to 167 in under a year from pregnancy and classic overeating...it's hard work!\n\nPut on a tiny bikini once a week. and measure yourself. As you go down in weight and inches it will start to look better and better. The better you feel the less stress you have the easier it is to eat right and work out.\n\nAbout running... don't like it don't do it. It's not worth it if you aren't going to do it for a Legnth of time. Simply get a good friend and go for a fast walk for about 1.5 hours... yea I'm serious but the time will fly by and the pounds will melt off. It's not about the distance it's about keeping your cardio up and doing it for a good length of time. Maybe you can start running a little here and there to tone up your legs but it isn't your only option.\n\nKeep a journal of what you eat and when,  when you notice you aren't losing it as fast as you were look back on your journal and see why. Maybe you aren't being as strict as you should be. Think about your journal as though everything you eat will be seen by it and will broadcast around the world for everyone to see. It will help you not eat everything you can. Be sure to write it down though that is key! You will hit plateaus, it happens then you have to either cut back or work out more.\n\nAdd muscle training. It can be as easy as a butt workout on the treadmill or a bunch of push ups and sit ups. Be it in the weight room or on the couch work your muscles. This will burn some calories and help you tone up.\n\nEat what your body needs first! Lots of protien and steamed veggies. Stick to fresh fruit and wheat rice. Make it look pretty and you won't have to dread it quite so much. Treat yourself every once in a while to a little low cal ice cream or a mousse which is also a low cal dessert. \n\ni hope this helps a little bit. Good luck!

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.

The only real way to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off is to increase your exercise and cut down on your food intake. Your goal of two pounds a week is a sensible and achievable one. The first thing you have to do is decide that it is what you really want to do. i.e. more important than snacking or lying on the couch. You need to change your life i.e. get up from the computer. It really is not that hard once you make up your mind to do it. It also helps if you can do it with a freind or partner for encouragement. It worked for me. Lost about 60 lbs two years ago. Went to the gym about 3 days a week for 2 hours per time. Walked a lot. Decided to eat smaller amounts but more often and slightly reduced my overall intake. Did not snack unless I was really really hungry. I have gained back a bit of the wieght I lost as I am no longer going to the gym but I seem to have leveled off no with an overall loss of 35 lbs. Good luck. John

A flat stomach won't appear overnight and it does take a lot of hard work. Unfortunately you can not just spot reduce your stomach, and sit-ups and crunches alone will not get you the results that you are seeking.  In order to slim it down and make it flat, you must reduce the fat in and around this area.  I would suggest that you minimize consumption of fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugars, and eat a healthy balanced diet. \n\nAlso maybe start a good, low intensity cardio program, like walking or slow jogging, to help you lose fat instead of just burning calories.  Pilate's and Yoga are very good for core strengthening, which will also help you gain a flat stomach. \n\nSlower, controlled movements are much better than rapid/quick actions like with fast sit ups. Try and focus more on your form and technique rather than how many you can do, and you will see results faster. Try and vary your exercises daily, so that you don't get to bored. Also, a belly ball is a very good investment. \n\nMost importantly, try to keep a positive attitude and definitely make sure to keep a positive body image.  I don't know why you are seeking a flat stomach but here's something to think about for a moment; Intelligence, paired with a good attitude, and a gentle smile, always projects self confidence, and looks amazing in pretty much anything you wear.\n \nHope I was helpful!\n\nGood luck!

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.

Throw away all the junk food in your house!! \n\nI used to be 95kg 1.5 years back, and thru determination, I've lost more than 20 kg to date. I know its hard to lose weight, I feel the same way too, but you really have to start from somewhere. \n\nFor me, I try to run twice a week and swim twice a week. I also try to work out during my free time. You can also try to squeeze in some exercises during your leisure time. For me, I do simple squats and dips during advertisement breaks and situps just before I go to bed.\n\nI also try to eat less carbo for my meals. Try decreasing the amount of food you eat each day. In one month's time, I am sure you will not be able to stomach all those food you are eating now. \n\nYou have to start somewhere. All talk and no work wun help you. Since you already have the mindset to lose weight, then you must persevere on!! \n\nI wish you all the best in your regime!

Why have you lost so much weight so quickly? Have you had bariatric surgery?\n\nLosing 209 pounds (95kg), which would correspond to a greater than 10% loss in a short amount of time (in under three months), is NOT steady loss of weight, and could be considered excessive. Even people who've had bariatric surgery ("stomach stapling") usually don't lose weight that quickly. \n\nIf you haven't already, you should confer again with your physician, very soon, and you need to talk about your eating habits, openly. I would not rely on this forum for  health information. Your excessive weight loss could be any number of things. A good physician will not give medical advice online, without speaking to you and examining you in person.
