Cut down on your portions and eat more small meals throughout the day. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day 3 times a week. Other than that you just need to give it time. It can take a couple of weeks before you start to notice a weight loss. Keep in mind - that from the exercise you're toning up and developing muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat but is compact. So you may actually gain weight but trim down if that makes any sense. Don't give up - lots of luck!!!

It sure is possible! I would say safely 16 lbs, but you might be able to do 20....I lost 54 lbs, but I did it slowly...took me 9 months. You can see my before and after pic here http://www.healthandstrength.net
This is what I did, and still do every day to maintain my figure and health:
1. NEVER EVER ate sugar. It's a poison that makes us older, sicker, fatter and tired...all things we dont want. Seriously, sugar is the one who does the dirty work in weight gain. Stop eating it all together. You can see my list of ingredients to avoid when shopping here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweeka.htm...
2. Drink ALOT of water. 2-3 liters a day. The more the merrier! We need about half our body weight in ounces JUST for regular body functions! When you feel thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated and lose brain function. Water flushes toxins from your fat cells and keeps you younger.
3. Exercise!!! So very important. Here http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm... are my favorite ab exercises. I also do cardio 4-5 days a week for about 30 minutes a time.
4. Eat less. How many calories do you think is in that burger or that plate of fries or in that handful of chips. What about overfilling our plates? If you go here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm... I wrote something about saving on calories and losing weight.
5. Go to sleep before 10pm. Your body starts repairing and rebuilding and speeding up weight loss while you sleep only if you sleep at about 10pm. If you are awake and go to bed at 12, you miss out on that very important time. I have a good article on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweekb.htm that talks about the importance of sleep and how STRESS can make actually make you fatter.
6. BE POSITIVE. Be thankful every day and love yourself
7. BE CONSISTANT! That I think is the KEY to losing weight. So what if you went a week and only lost a pound...or didnt lose any...KEEP going. DON'T stop. This is a lifelong commitment, so stick to it and one day you will open your eyes and need a new wardrobe!
8. Eat more veggies and skinny friendly foods. I have my list of my top ten foods that I ate to lost weight here http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.htm...
80% veggies at every meal including breakfast will keep you young and help you lose weight.
9. Do the little things that count! Check out 10 cool ideas that you can do to help boost your calorie burn throught the day here: http://www.healthandstrength.net/tips.htm
Good luck and don't forget that YOU are the only one who decides what foods enter your body and how long you sit around. Make the change, take the chance and give yourself time! You can do it. I know you can!

No. With a sensible diet and exercise, you might lose 1 to 2 lbs. per week. Under the best of circumstances, that would only be about 14 lbs. If you don't want to exercise, it's going to be much harder.

It's possible, but it'd be very unhealthy... Your body would burn about 2000 calories a day without much activity, and one pound is, i believe 3500 calories, so u'd need to burn 70,000 calories... It's like a math problem! There are only about 50 days left until Xmas, so unless u somehow only eat 500 calories a day, (Not recommended...) it's not possible

maybe you can find something that you really like to do for long periods of time. the idea is to not to go over or above 1,200 calories a day.if you like music,games or to read would be some examples of something to do other than thinking about food. anyway,i hope this helps you, just some friendly advise and certainly no offence to anyone.

it's possible, but unhealthy. I suggest that you cut out sweets and processed foods. and exercises a little every day. try dancing because that works your whole body and it's fun.
God Bless!!
