I don't have a really good answer to this, but I would say two weeks.  I know that most of the diet books I have read say that on diet alone, one should start feeling better in 2 weeks, so at least that soon should work for a change of diet coupled with exercise.\n\nSuggestions though:  Be sure you are drinking approximately 64 ounces of water a day (2 liters approximately) as this will help flush the stuff out of your system.  \n\nAlso, look as results being your clothes fitting looser and your body firming, in addition to losing weight, because sometimes inches happen faster than weight.  Also, thighs are about the last place that weight comes off, with tummy being about the last, especially if you are over 40.

4-5 weeks.\n\nAn average healthly weight loss is approx. 2 pounds a week.

Correct me if I am wrong, but 1 pound = 2.4 kilos.  You want to lose 2 pounds in a week.\n\nThat is safe and very healthy, considering you didn't tell your age, current weight, gender, location or anything else that would help us give you a good answer.\n\nRun outside, at a slow pace, for 30 minutes every day.  Do not walk.  If you feel like you are losing your breath, or getting winded (can't speak normally), slow down.  DON'T walk!

It's best to aim for 1 - 2 pounds of weight loss per week.  So in 16 weeks, 30 pounds is possible, but it is aggressive.  You'll need a weekly calorie deficit of 7000 calories to lose 2 pounds per week, which is 1000 calories daily.  To do that, you could eat about 500 less calories and burn 500 calories by exercising.\n\nFor specific suggestions about what to eat and what kind of exercise to do, I recommend the Spark People website http://www.sparkpeople.com  It's  free website--you just need to sign up.  They have meal plan suggestions and exercise suggestions.\n\nOh, and best wishes on the wedding!

2 weeks is far too short of a time to healthily lose 20 pounds - not to mention that losing that kind of weight quickly will leave you with flaps of skin that are, frankly, uglier & more disturbing than the fat.  You can lose 10 pounds without being unhealthy, but you might still have skin flaps.  Try this:\n\nBreakfast:  eat only yogurt and fruit.\nLunch:  A salad that is only vegetables, no meat.  Steer clear of creamy dressings and croutons.  You can put some tofu on there if you need protein.  Maybe one hardboiled egg.\nExercise 20 minutes each day.  This can be a brisk walk.  Do situps to keep the skin flaps from appearing on your stomach.\nDinner:  Meat and vegetable but no starch.  Try to go for white meats like chicken and pork - they're healthier for you.  With vegetables try to eat them fresh (better nutritional value), but if you can't, have them lightly steamed.  Do not eat bread or rice or potato anything with this meal.\n\nDessert:  A piece of fresh fruit.\n\nTo drink:  always water.  If you must have something else, drink milk or unsweetened tea.  Do not under any circumstances drink sodas, and if you get the urge to drink juice eat a piece of fruit instead.  Coffee is fine, just cut back on your sugar & cream or eliminate it entirely.\n\nYou will notice that you've lost weight by the end of the first week, and it will speed up in the second week.  To keep it off, keep up these habits but don't completely eliminate starch from your diet - that's unhealthy.  The most important thing is to keep up the 20 minutes of exercise, and add to it.\n\nBe careful about fad diets - if you try to lose too much weight too quickly, you will do your digestive system irreversible damage.\n\nGood luck.

Unless your physician has given you specific instructions otherwise, 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 would 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\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 only way you will lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is if you eliminate your carbohydrates, eat lots of protein, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, and that's it. This is what Atkins diet does and you can lose weight very quickly, but you have to know that even if you drop 10 pounds in 2 weeks most of it is water because it is impossible to lose that much real fat in such a short period of time. Check out their website, be strong and stick to it for 2 weeks solid and you will see most of that weight come off. Good luck.

You can't, at least not in a healthy way.  The fastest you should lose 20 lbs is about 2.5 months.  You won't be happy with the results (your skin will look flabby), and you will likely gain most of it back.  Lose it slowly, and you will look great and keep it off forever.

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.

You will burn between 450 and 500 calories per 2 hour walk, depending on how fast you walk and if there are any hills. \n\nThat alone will take off about a pound of fat (3500 calories) per week. If you are losing more than that it is probably water you are losing.\n\nKeep hydrated - lots of water, you'll flush out any water your body is retaining too, and you'll look less bloated\n\nHow much more you lose will depend on how you reduce your meals. Reducing calories will help, try changing habits all together - eat 5 or 6 small, healthy meals per day, it will kick up your metabolism and you'll lose weight faster. \n\nGood Luck!

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

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

Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks??\n\nThere are some websites on the Internet, which promise you that you are going to lose 10 pounds in every 2 weeks. If you are good in math you will find that keeping these stats in mind, 260 pounds in a year. Losing 260 pounds is the figure, which is unbelievable and unexpected.\n\nThis kind of claims are planned just to cause clients to make impulsive decisions. When you gain weight, did you gained around 50 minds in two months? Certainly not. We gain weight in weight in small parts, which add up to our weight. This keeps on increasing with time.\n\nI think you get what I mean to say. We normally gain weight in grams like 65 gram per week. With this stat you are going to gain around 7 pounds at the end of year.\n\nThis weight is so slow that you cannot measure it weekly. But in fur years you are going to gain around 28 pounds.\n\nSo how can you expect this weight to go in few days? You are going to lose the way you have gained it. So it will take time to lose weight. So you have to start losing weight systematically. You can lose weight by developing the good eating habits in you and nutritious foods.

If that's your photo in your avatar, you look close to goal weight so your body doesn't burn as many calories during exercise.  \n\nA 200 lb person walking at a moderate pace will only burn 175 calories in 2 miles.  That's only losing 1 lb in 3 weeks.\n\nYou can eat "very healthy" and still be over on calories.  Review your choices and limit snacks, fast food and frozen convenience foods.  Don't eat extra because you're exercising.\n\nWater is a good beverage choice, but it doesn't "cause" weight loss.  Don't drink too much hoping that you'll lose more.
