Cut off an arm.  It is impossible to lose that much weight in a healthy manner in that time period.  If you lose more than 2 pounds a week you aren't losing fat, just fluids.

Hello, here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Only the size of your fist, carbs in one and protien in the other. exercise every day, Monday cardo, tues upper body, wed cardo, thurs lower body, fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt freak out. if you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! You can do it in 12 weeks and see a 70% turn around but you have to be serious

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules for weight loss: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nDon'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 will 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

Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

Do massive sid-ups and crunches, starting with 20 and doing 5 more each day. And drink a lot of milk, it helps to lose weight.

Give Atkins or South Beach Diet a try to jump start your diet.  It'll help you make better choices later.  And try to do some sort of exercise daily for at least 30 minutes.  Walking is excellent.  If you can go for longer periods or add 10 minutes here or there throughout the day you'll see big results in no time.  Get a pedometer and see how many steps you take in an average day.  Try to increase it by 2000.  (it's about a mile)  Try to get up to like 8,000 or more to lose weight.  You'll be surprised at how easy it can be.  You'll see how 10 minutes here and there can really add up.  Good luck!

It's best to aim for 1 - 2 pounds of weight loss each week, so that would be 10 - 20 weeks to lose 20 pounds.

That's only about 600 or 700 calories and not healthy to be doing for 14 consecutive days.  Why don't you try the following for two days instead?...\n\nEat only fruit and veg (except bananas, beans, peas and corn) and as much as you want.  You can even have stir fry veg in a little olive oil or salad with a little dressing.  Also, make yourself a big pot of vegetable soup and include cabbage and celery in it.  Do not drink any alcohol.  Drink lots of water, unsweetened tea/juice or herbal tea.  You will lose 2lb each day and will also be detoxing your body.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Cut off your head!\n\nThe only good and safe way to lose weight is a reasonable diet and regular aerobic exercise.  Your goal should be to lose about 1 kg (2 pounds) a week and KEEP it off for the rest of your life.  Extreme weight loss in a short time will only set you up to gain it all back and more.  That's why they call it yo-yo dieting.

I know for myself, I am in the same situation... I want to lose weight, but I want to do it safely. What I have been doing:\n\nExercising at least 5-6 days a week. Make sure to incorporate both cardiovascular and weight training. The more you walk, bike, etc... the faster you will be able to trim down. \n\nEating better.. focus on vegetables and whole grain or wheat. Also make sure that you eat regularly but while doing that, watch your portion sizes. Eat slower so that your body and mind have time to catch up with one another. All too often we eat too quickly and then we overeat. \n\nDrink lots of water... with the water thing, I drink water based on my body weight to best maximize my metabolism. You can do this by taking your current weight and dividing it in half... this is the total ounces of water you should have in a day.
