I mostly just want to tone and improve my muscle definition, but it would also be nice to shed a few pounds. But, of course, I want to to it safely, effectively, and, most of all, in a way that is healthy. No crash dieting for me!

Healthy weight loss should be 1 to 2 pounds per week so you can lose up 18 pounds safely.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

It depends on how much you weigh already. If you're obese you might find the first pounds shed really quickly, with 8 or more pounds dropping. However, the general rule is 1-2 pounds a week for healthy weight loss (and gain for that matter). I'm sure you can get away with 3 though, there were some weeks where I did. :)

A dietician I saw about 4 months ago said that up to 2 pounds a week is the MAXIMUM. 1.5 is the safest so, between 13-1/2 and 18 pounds would be my suggestion.

In nine weeks probably 18 pounds. Doctors say its healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.

If you don't want to do any crash dieting then you'll want to project longer than 9 weeks! Once you've started exercising and toning you should expect to loose about 1-2 lbs a week so you should see about a 9 - 18lb weight loss in that time...
Anything more may be unhealthy...

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. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

any word that's tagged with 'health' is used rather lightly these days, especially when talking about dieting. I say 10% of your body weight for those 9 weeks when exercising, sleeping well, eating appropriately, and keeping stress levels in check. Do it right the first time, and it's all about following-through. No shortcuts.

About 30 Pounds !
Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Maximum of 20 pounds, but if you're mostly looking to tone up, you probably won't need to lose that much. Thank you for wanting to be safe!
