Answer 1

Yes you can!
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.
I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''
This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.
Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.

*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
*This information is based on my personal and professional experience.

Answer 2

It IS possible to lose 5 lbs a week, I agree. I used to do it a very unhealthy way (i.e. starvation and working out 1.5 hours a day), but if you follow a meal plan similar to the one I'll list below, it's also possible AND healthy, and you'll never be wanting for food- it keeps you full :) See if it works for you: Breakfast: 2 eggs, decaf tea or coffee with Splenda (plain cream optional), and a sausage patty or bacon if you feel like it. Snack: A couple grape tomatoes or another kind of vegetable and/or an ounce or two of cheese Lunch: 2-3 cups salad, shredded cheese on top, 1/2 to 1 cup met (chicken, ground beef, whatever), low sugar dressing (ranch, blue cheese, etc) or sour cream & taco sauce OR A pack of tuna, 1-2 tbs mayo, and 1-2 cups sald Snack: 1-2 oz meat, or 1-2 oz cheese Dinner: Can vary greatly, but you want to throw in meat or some eggs (protein-rich), and maybe some more vegetables. Sometimes I have un-breaded hot wings, sometimes fried eggs, last night I had more salad with tuna & mayo and 2 eggs Be SURE to drink 2-3 liters of water a day, get 30 mins of any kind of exercise 4-6 days a week, and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night The idea is to cut out all the sugar and refined carbs of your normal diet (eat less that 20 net carbs a day, AKA carbs minus fiber) so your body burns fat for energy instead, and it works wonders. I lost 7 lbs in my first 4 days. It's mostly water weight at first, but you do lose steadily, and I love it. PS- Another snack, if you want something sweet, is sugar-free jello with a little whipped cream. Also, try not to eat more than 4 oz of cheese a day.

Answer 3

I can help you to loose the weight you want in 4-5 weeks, but its not wise to loose that much that fast. To make sure weight stays off you should only loose 1-2 lbs a week. If you take the number 220 and then subtract your age, whatever number you get you need to multiply it by 70% and again by 90%. That will give you your target heart rate and your max heart rate. You need to find an aerobic exercise that will get your heart rate up to the target HR but not over the maxHR. If you can keep you heart rate up in the zone for 22-30 min. 3-4 times a week and keep a smart diet ( small portions but do not skip meals) You will loose weight. Never go under 1200 cals, but if you eat over 2260 cals you will need to excerise more. Cal's in Vs Cal's burned. Take in more then you burn you will gain. Take in less then you burn you will loose. I can even get more to the point if you would like? coachrome0

Answer 4

You can make good progress doing that, but if you accomplished that in such a short time you will be very unhealthy. Don't make yourself sick trying to speed your weight loss. The smart way to lose weight is to take your health seriously. Go on a healthy program to lose the weight, build up to your physical exercise program, and make this a life-time health program. Drink lots of water, too.
