Answer 2

First of all, you aren't going to show him anything by losing the weight. Guys are shallow and could care less whether you lose weight or not. He wanted instant gratification and by the time you lose the weight he would have forgot about you anyway. Face it, you wouldn't be doing it to show him what he lost. You would only do it because you think, deep down, that guys only like self absorbed b i t c h e s like the one he left you for. Don't lose weight for him or to fit into what society thinks is beautiful. Be happy who you are and quit trying to live up to someone elses expectations. If you want to lose weight, do it for youself and do it for health. Otherwise, move on and stop worring about your self image.

Have a look around. How many skinny people do you see with kids? How many big people? Love and family come easier when you stop worrying about self image.

Answer 3

First, it's not healthy to lose more than one or 1.5lb a week. So 20lbs in four to eight weeks isn't healthy.

Second, if you do lose the weight, then what? How are you going to keep it off?

Third, what are you going to gain by losing the weight? Seriously.
Most decent guys don't care if you're a little overweight if you have a nice personality and etc. If you lose that weight and actually get the guy back, it's not worth it. He's shallow. He only likes you for your looks.

Answer 4

Eat sensibly, exercise more, and drink lots of water.
You should lose no more than 2.5 pounds per week.

Good Luck

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
