You shouldn't lose weight that fast, because it will be mostly water, and it will all come back very quickly.  If you are really having problems, join a group like Weight Watchers.  You will learn how to lose the weight and keep it off permanantly.

Yup, done 20 in a month, but I went at it real hard.  I've heard that 2 - 3 pounds per week is healthy, no more.  15 pounds once probably isn't bad, but make sure you don't burn out if you make that goal or exceed it.

First thing first...Don't stress. Cut down on the junk food and start drinking a lot of water about 2 gallons a day. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours. Healthy meals with a lot of fruits and vegtables, not a lot of red meat of fat. Try eating more chicken(boiled, barbequed, broiled) also try eating salmon or any other low fat fish. If you do that combined with a jog or brisk walk everyday for an hour of would you rather go the gym 3-4 times a week for 2 hrs you will be skinny in no time. The weight will be melting off. You will probably lose anywhere from 5-10 pounds a week for the first couple of weeks. After that don't get discouraged because the wight wont be comming off so quickly but it will come off be patient and think positive. It won't be easy but it will work.

Yes, and in a healthy way.\n\nYou want to set a goal of losing 1-2 lbs a week...in the beggining, it's ok to lose 3 lbs per week, but this will average out to be 1-2 lbs during the 16 weeks.\n\nTry Weight Watchers, LA Weigh Loss, or other groups and they'll support you and teach you how to control your calories to lose 1-2 lbs a week. It's not as hard as it appears, just take baby steps and focus on the individual week!\n\nYou should only be exercising <cardio : step, treadmill, jumping jacks, rollerblading, swimming> 3-4 times a week.  You're biggest part is controling what goes into your body: <diet soda-pop or water>, <chips or vegtables>, <chocolate or strawberries>, <hamburgar or skinless chicken breast>.  I've found that my liquid controll <only WATER> helpes the fastest to drop the weight.  Seriously, the groups that offer weight loss programs are reasonably prices, and effective tools to teach you.\n \n16 x 2 = 32 lbs

Okay, it's going to be nearly impossible to lose 15 pounds in a week with that amount of food intake. As for meals, they should consist mostly of steamed or raw vegetables with unsalted and unoiled nuts/beans for protein. The protein shouldn't be from cashews, pistachios, or butterbeans but healthy sources like kidney or black beans and peanuts, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Stay away from white starches(no potatoes). All carbohydrates should be from whole grains and there shouldn't be many of them. Snacks should be granola (without sugar or whole yogurt added) or fruit, nuts or raw vegetables (no dip!). The diet will be more effective if the first day is spent with a detoxifying diet (like a 24 hour diet of only organic fruit juices). Breakfast should be with hot water and lemon juice or hot green/white tea (no sugar or added milk) and a diet cereal (like Special K or Total). A cup of coffee would be okay if you skipped the sugar and milk. All milk should be skim. Caloric intake should be around 1800 calories or less per day. Exercise should be running (continuous) whether fast or slow for three miles or more.

You can lose 20lbs in 5 minutes if you cut your leg off..\n20 pounds in 5 weeks would involve losing 4 pounds a week. That's hard to do, not to mention unhealthy! You could safely lose 10 pounds in that amount of time, as it is healthiest to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.\nA pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. You would need to burn off 2000 more calories than you eat everyday for 5 weeks in order to lose that much! It won't happen unless you eat next to nothing and exercise like mad!\nTo lose 2 pounds a week, start burning off 500 calories a day, every day, through exercise. You will lose 1 pound of fat per week without even changing your diet! If you reduce your calories by 500, then you'll lose a second pound a week. Don't reduce your calories too much or your metabolism will slow down by as much as 30% because your body will throw itself into starvation mode. If you're a woman, eat at least 1200 calories a day, 1500 for men. Eat 5-6 small, healthy meals a day, try and make your calories mostly consist of fruit, veggies and whole grains. You will also need lots of protein if you burn 500 calories a day--go for lean meats, egg whites, and veggie burgers. Green tea is supposed to help with weight loss, so try drinking a cup or so of that everyday. Drink plenty of water!!!!

if you want to lose 20 pounds its best to do it 5 pounds per week for 4 weeks... using a healthy diet and exercise... 20 pounds in 24 hours is not possible... it could be possible i guess in a week or so but its very unhealthy and i wouldnt recommend it

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!

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.

1) Curb your eating of sugars, salts and fatty things.\n2) rigorous workouts.\n\nHOWEVER.. you should be very careful and not lose too fast. Whatever your reason for wanting to lose immediately, it is NOT worth it. You should plan to lose 1 or 1 1/2 pounds a week. That is a good goal.

You don't!  The only thing you'll accomplish by trying to lose weight really fast, is to get dissappoined really fast.  Set a goal of 1 to 2 lbs per week by exercising with something you enjoy.  Chart the results and don't rush it.  You didn't gain it really fast I assume.\n\nMake it a lifestyle change...not a fad diet too.\n\nGood luck.

I have lost 20 pounds in 40 days.  But I ate more thatn a slice of bread and water.  I would not advise doing that in order to lose weight.  go to like a 1200 calorie diet and make sure your getting veggies fruit and protein.
