Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

cut out all carbs like bread, buns, donuts, cereal. Eat protein like eggs, chicken and lots of vegetables and drink 8 glasses of water a day. Eat 6 small meals during the day to keep your
blood sugar up and stay away from fruits for the week. The only one's you can eat are grapefruits and oranges. And do a power walk every evening or morning for half an hour. No pop, no chips!

Well, I'm only 5'2", and my doctor told me not to get below 120, so just try and tone, not lose weight. Muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less space. There is no way to gain a lot of muscle in one week unless you take steroids.
