In order to even come close, you would have to fast and only drink water & excercise for at least 2 hours a day. other than that it is virtually impossible to lose that much weight in that short of time sorry???

Aim for losing 1 - 2 pounds per week, so that you are losing fat, but not muscle.  Exercise!  Both cardio and weight training.  Make sure that you don't drop your calories below your BMR.   Do all these things, and you'll lose fat and maintain or gain muscle.

Exercise at least four times a week.  Mix aerobics with some weights or other resistance training.  You might actually gain weight from muscle weight, but you will look smaller.  Muscle will burn fat even when you're just sitting there.\n\nFor eating, check out http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm to know how many calories you need.  You can lose about a pound or so 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!

Eat healthy and exercise! \nIt's healthiest to aim to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week. 1pound of fat is worth 3500 calories...Soo...if you burn 500 calories through exercise everyday, you can lose a pound of fat a week without changing your diet at all! If you cut back your calories by 500 everyday, then you can lose an additional pound every week. Don't cut your calories too low or your metabolism will shut down. Make sure you eat at least 1200 calories a day. \nIt's best to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and avoid food/drinks that are high in sugar. Also make sure most of your carbs are coming from whole grains, rather than white flour...whole grains are high in fiber and protein and they're good for your heart!

First of all, as any credible dietician or health professional will tell you, diet is only half the equation. You also have to increase your level of physical activity to burn off more calories and speed up your metabolism while reducing your daily caloric intake. Losing weight is a slow process and if you follow a strict regimen of diet and exercise, you can expect to healthily lose around 1-1.5 pounds tops a week. One pound of body fat equals about 3500 calories so there needs to be a large net caloric deficit to lose a lot of weight. The key is consistency. Check the net for more information, there are tons of resources.

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.

First, try to set a more realistic goal. That's a lot of weight to lose in a short time, even with major diet modification, and would probably be unhealthy.\n\nBurning an additional 250 calories per day by getting more exercise, and removing 250 calories per day from your food intake will enable you to lose an average of 1 pound per week.\n\n"Slow and steady wins the race."

This is a good realistic goal. 1 to 2 pounds a week is something you can accomplish with healthy eating and regular exercise.\n\nTry to get 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.\n\nAs far as diet is concerned, don't drop your calorie intake by too much, 500 calories a day less at the very most. Just try to take in as much lean protein as possible and the least amount of fat.\n\nYou should be able to lose 10-15 pounds inside of 60 days with a plan like this.

It takes 3,500 calories to equal one pound of body weight.  Generally, dieters dump an average of 1,000 calories per day in an effort to lose 2 pounds of body fat per week.  You should never go below 1,200 calories per day without your doctor's approval. If you are in need of losing a lot of weight, you may require more calories, so you'll definitely need to check in with your doctor before proceeding on any diet plan.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose some weight.   You need to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, so don't try to do it too fast.  This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.\n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.

you should try to lose 1-2 pounds a week\n\njust reduce your calories and increase exercise....make sure you are doing strength training, so the weight you lose will not be muscle

Depends on your height, weight and body mass index (percentage of fat and muscle in your body). For example, for a 5 foot 4 inch woman of 145 pounds who is trying to lose weight, the ideal calorie intake for one day is 1200-1300/day. Now if its a man, you will want to eat more because on average, men have faster metabolic rates than women. 3,500 calories is one pound so basically if you can burn 3,500 calories in one day (very difficult) you lose one pound in that day, or you intake 3,500 calories and you've gained a pound...thats if you have been sitting on your bum all day. Its helpful to search these sorta things online on diet websites, there are many...hope this helped...\n:)

You don't. Your best case senario depending on how much you way now and if you are male or female would be 32 pounds.  It's recommended you only lose 1 to 2 pounds a week to be healthy.  Besides, the slower you loose the more likely you are to keep it off.
