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!

Congratulations on your engagement.  Being 15 lbs overweight with 9 months or so to lose it is a weight loss expert dream because that's easy.\n\nEveryone says they eat pretty healthy and I'm not knocking you and saying you don't but what is your definition of eating healthy? That might be something you want to evalaute.  But my personal guess is that it's not so much your eating that's the issue but it's the workouts you're doing that will make or break your goal of looking great for your wedding.\n\nThe best suggestion I can tell you is to do total body weight training. Do not divide your days up and do chest one day, arms the next day.  This will not help you tone up as quickly as possible.  You're much better off either training the entire body 3 times per week with a day of rest between each OR you can workout 4 times a week where you work your upper body and lower body on different days.\n\nAs far as the best time to workout, the answer is simple. Whenever you can get it in is the best time.  It does not matter if it's morning, empty stomach, full stomach, calories are calories and whether you workout before eating anything or after the caloric difference is not enough for you to make that change.  But if it's best for you to workout first thing in the morning there's no issue with that either.\n\nWhen it comes to your side aches, I'm guessing since you probably aren't an avid runner that your body just cannot take the impact of running just yet.  I would opt to use the elliptical machine and alternate the intensity levels up and down for 30 minutes.\n\nIf you want to know more about what to do the best answer is my free newsletter. It won't be free for long so I suggest you get to it.\nI reveal strategies to drop weight in there that I'm sure you'll enjoy and your future partner in life will also.\n\nhttp://4evertoned.com/newsletter.html

1. Substitutions! Your favorite snacks don't have to be forbidden; in fact, if you make them so, they'll seem even more appealing. So substitute fat-free pringles for the high-fat potato chips, or nonfat frozen yogurt for high-calorie ice cream. Look for low-fat or fat-free salad dressing, light mayo, low-fat cheese, etc. You really get used to them quickly; I won't eat regular ice cream anymore, yuck!\n\n2. Avoid excess snacking by popping a piece of gum in your mouth when you've got the munchies but aren't hungry.\n\n3. Drink lots and LOTS of water.\n\n4. Fiber-rich foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains) fill you up faster and make you feel full longer.\n\n5. Low-fat dairy products (look for Yoplait's or Dannon LIGHT smoothies, both are really good) have been shown to shrink waists.\n\n6. Exercise at least 4 times a week but no more than 6 times a week. (You need at least one recovery day.) Any type of cardio will shed the pounds: swimming, running, jumping rope, playing sports, biking. On your day off, keep active. Play some recreational badminton with friends, or take a leisurely walk.\n\n7. Don't skip meals! It slows your metabolism, therefore making it harder to lose weight. Instead, eat small meals at least six times a day. Just be sure to eat the RIGHT foods: whole grains (tortillas, breads, pasta), fruits (dried and fresh), nuts, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, etc. Remember to eat a balanced diet including everything in the food pyramid. A deficiency in any vitamin or mineral compromises your energy stores and your overall health.\n\n8. Keep a list of heart healthy snacks on the fridge to remind you not to reach for the cheesies.\n\n9. Remember that weight loss takes time. You didn't gain it all overnight, and you're not going to lose it overnight. But if you stick to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, you WILL lose the inches.\n\nGood luck!

Well, if you are really serious about losing weight quickly, here are three easy steps you need to follow:\n\n1) Try a good cardio workout for about 30 to 45 minutes twice a day.  You can do this by running, biking, StairMaster, whatever you enjoy.  Keeping your heart rate up will help you burn calories and lose weight.\n  \n2) Strength training would also be a good idea, things like basic sit-ups, jumping jacks, deep knee bends, push-ups, some light weight lifting, etc.  These are activities that will help you build muscle, and muscle burns fat.  So, just do it!\n\n3) The third eat wisely!  Count calories and make sure you are not exceeding your recommended allowance.  Cut out all soda and sweets.  \n\n4) Drink plenty of fluid!  Doctor's recommend eight 8 oz. cups of water a day.  This is highly recommended if you are putting in the workouts described above.\n\nIf you can do these things religiously for a month, I am confident you will be able to lose 20 lbs or more in a month.  But you have to really dedicate yourself to it daily!\n\nBest of luck!

That's kinda silly.  There's really nothing you can do in 3 days, healthily, that will make you lose weight.  However, if you want to feel slimmer, eat nothing but small salads and drink nothing but water.  As long as you feel the part, you'll look it.

There really isn't a way to lose weight fast.  You want to lose fat, really, and your body cannot burn more than two pounds of fat per week.  If you lose weight faster than that it's either water weight (at the beginning of a diet) or muscle mass.  \n\nHere are some tips:\n\n1.  Walking is the best way to lose belly fat.  Buy a pedometer (about $5 at Wal-Mart for a cheap one) and count your steps.  Try to increase 1000 steps per day until you go over 10,000.  \n\n2.  Do some strength training, such as lifting weights.  This will help develop muscles.  A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat (and is about half the size).  You will burn more calories even when you are asleep.\n\n3.  At 230 lbs, your body requires about 2300 calories per day to maintain that weight.  You do not want to cut out too many calories, because your body will catabolize muscle before it will catabolize fat.  You don't want to destroy your muscles.  \n\nTry to cut about 500 calories per day from your diet.  Get a kitchen scale and really measure portions.  You'd be surprised how little a cup is, and how large your portion sizes are.  At that intake, you will lose about a pound a week just from your reduced calorie intake.  If you exercise, you will increase that.\n\n4.  Figure out what kind of an eater you are.  Some people can do portion control.  They can figure out what a 100-calorie portion of chocolate cake is and eat that, or eat 1/4 of a pint of reduced fat frozen yogurt.  I'm not one of those.  If I open the bag of M&M's, I will eat the bag of M&M's, whether it's a tiny little handful or a 1-lb bag.  I have learned that I have to eliminate foods that are unhealthy for me.  I can't buy chips, because I WILL open them, and then I WILL eat the whole bag.  Work with your eating patterns.  If you can pour out 1-oz of chips and eat them, indulge once a week.  If you can't, you're better off not buying the chips.\n\n5.  Focus your diet on whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean meats or fish, if you like them.  Fruit and veggies are your best friends.  \n\n6.  Drink at least two litres of water per day, and aim for four.  Your body stores fat as fatty acids.  In order to burn fat, it has to hang three fatty acid molecules onto a water molecule.  Without water, you can't lose weight.  Also, water fills you up.  Water can be flavored with sugar free drink mixes or sugar-free tea.  \n\n7.  Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.  That's when your body is dealing with the fat.  You can't lose weight if you don't sleep enough.\n\n8.  Educate yourself.  I highly recommend Susan Powter (her Stop the Insanity set is out of print but is sometimes available on eBay), Dean Ornish, Covert Bailey, and Pritikin.  Pritikin and Ornish are a little severe, but they are dealing with people who have serious coronary problems.  \n\n9.  Get support.  Consider joining a gym and finding a personal trainer.  Sometimes you can join a trainer's group and pay a lot less.  Weight Watchers is pretty good, but I'm a member of Take Off Pounds Sensibly, and it's helped a lot.  \n\n10.  DON'T GIVE UP.  If you "cheat" or skip a day of exercise, it's not the end of the world.  It's a minor set back, and if you stick to your diet/exercise plan for a year, no one will notice one chocolate bar or one day spent vegging on the couch.  It's the chocolate bar every day or the vegging every day that kills you.\n\nI'm dieting, too.  I've lost 15 pounds and one dress size in the last two months.  If you'd like to contact me, please do.

im not sure how "quickly" you mean. but if you are a male, eating about 1750 calories each day and adding exercise is a great way to lose lbs.\n\nfor breakfast eat things like eggs with yogurt and fruit or oatmeal, lunch can be a tuna sandwhich or ham and cheese on wheat bread..or a salad with chicke on top... dinner can be steak chicken or fish with a couple of veggies and a potato..and snacks can be nuts, energy bars, fruit, beef jerky, etc.\n\nIf you dont exercise at all...begin with 45 minutes of light cardio like walking or biking.  then bump it up to jogging and walking. \n\nmost people can easily lose 2 lbs a week on a normal diet but i have seen people lose 5 a week on this type of diet.  The most important parts are eating HEALTHY food (you can have as much fruit and veggies as you can eat!) and trying to exercise atleast 4 days a week.\n\ngoodluck!

First of all...you'll never lose weight hating yourself- you probably eat more becuase you do. You can't turn to some crazy, impractical diet either. You have to be sensible about it. Make samll changes in your diet first- they'll have BIG affects. (EX: I don't eat after midnight, Omit butter from your daily diet, I stopped drinking soda). \nSecondly, your Fiance' isn't helping you by setting up weight expectations for you...they should love you as you are and encourage you to lose weight ONLY for health reasons. Maybe you should consult a dietician AND a psychologist.\nGood Luck!

Take something to curb your appetite like (hoodia ) over the counter.  DO NOT eat  the bad carbs and stay away from sugar. Lots and lots of meals of just  good salads.    Carbs and sugar work together to make you hungry.    Drink all the water you can stand to drink  and try walking, biking,etc.  something that works out your big muscles ( your legs) this makes you burn more calories and the weight will come off fast!   But, after you loose, please try to eat good foods and have a (no no) food  one time , on one day out of the week.   This really works!

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

Don't lose too quickly you'll put it all back on.  Also you risk damaging your heart (which is a muscle) because your body might be forced to burn muscle as well as fat if you eat too little. \n\nAim to lose 1-2lbs a week (it will be more to start with) by cutting out fatty and sugary snacks, alcohol and sugary drinks.  Eat three sensible low fat meals a day, and drink plenty of water.  If you are hungry between meals have a glass of water or herbal/fruit tea to fill your stomach and give you the sensation of feeeling full.\n\nDo a bit of exercise to boost your metabolism, burn some fat and build muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat but burns calories quicker, so you can eat more and put on less!

deliver your full term twins.\nSeriously you dont want to lose weight fast because you can gain it back just as fast. Do it slowly by diet and exercise. Start out walking and increase your walking pace and time each week. Nutri-system is a satisfying healthy program to lose weight.
