Losing a pound of fat requires a 3500 calorie deficit. Therefore, losing a pound of fat in 1 week requires a 500 Calorie/day deficit. Losing 15 lbs of fat in 5 weeks will require a 1500 Calorie/day deficit. If you try to lose weight this fast, much of what you lose will probably be muscle and water which will lower your resting metabolic rate and cause you to gain the weight back and then some. I recommend using proper nutrition and exercise to lose the weight at a more sane rate. I apologize for not telling you what you want to hear.

This takes some serious will power, but it is feseable,
( i tell this to most people)
First thing- don't change how much you eat (unless it is WAY WAY to much), start out by changing what you are eating. If it comes in a diet option, try it. If you are drinking 1% milk, try skim (or the next percentage down), avoid juice (liquid calories are way to easy to consume and hard to get rid of).
Second thing- Watch out for when you are eating these things, often times it is better to have smaller meals and snack throughout the day.
Third thing- NEVER EAT FAST FOOD. It is essentially a slow acting poison on your body and can lead to more health problems than you can think of.
Fourth thing- if you don't exercise, start out going for walks in the park or somehting, then bring it up to a light jog (once you are comfortable), then slowley bring up the intensity.
Fifth thing- Evaluate everything you put in your mouth, (i.e. avoiding higher fat meats like ribs, pork.. try fish instead or dear or chicken... then general meat rule is that the fewer legs it had as an animal, the better it is for you). Also, think about what goes into you ask yourself, "Should I be eating this?"
Sixth thing- You don't have to be doing all this 100% of the time, treat yourself, but recognize your priorities when it comes to it and don't let "treating yourself" get out of hand.

not possible. try to go for 5-8 lbs.
either do cabbage soup diet or
no eating at all after 4pm or
exercise a lot (like 3 hours a day)
or just eat a lot less.
i lost 80 pounds by eating less.
but it took a year and a half.
a pound a week is the best way to lose and keep it off.
you probably couldn't lose 15 lbs in that time even by fasting.
