So I'm meeting up with an old friend before summer. She looks Fabulous!...Since we last saw eachother I have banged on the weight. I was wondering weather eating Fruit, Vegtables & Salad, & drinking just water would help me lose at least a stone & a half???....How long would you rekon this would take me to do? I will also be walking everywhere! to College etc.

Your diet along with exercise will determine how much weight you lose. There are many different plans to weight loss, but one that I like is the "Special K Challenge", you substitute 2 meals a day with special K, eat your third meal normally, and throughout the day, can enjoy a special K bar or another type of Special K snack, you also may consume fruits, vegetables, and beverages as you normally do. This plan's average weight loss in 2 weeks is 5 lbs. At specialK.com, you can create your own personalized diet plan by taking a short quiz. Good luck!

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

eating better and exercising should help you lose weight, i would keep doing it until you are satisfied, but even once you have lost the weight you want, don't forget to keep watching what you eat so you don't gain it back
