That is alittle extreme but you can loose some

This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.

Energy In/Energy Out

Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day

One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat

1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn

You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.

Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.

Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.

I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.

I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food

My favorite things to eat:

Avocado Wraps

Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.

Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.

First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cuisines

Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.

It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.

Fruits and Veggies

All you want on the schedule listed below.
Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

____

Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake.
WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____

Soda/Carbonation

Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.
So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

____

Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.

____

Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.

It can be done! I just did it! But I started at 400 lbs.I lost 31 lbs in 30 days and 70 lbs in 60 days and 94 lbs in 90 days and to date have lost 155 lbs since March 07. I did not have surgery and It is totally safe but there are components that you must follow and exercise is important. If you are down to your last 75 lbs it maybe harder because if your working out the muscle gain may make it difficult. But at that point weight should not be your issue and a more honest approach and a realistic image should be your goal. You can't always think that what you see on a scale is what you want to see in a mirror. There is a program that can get you safe and amazing results. No one here has suggested anything authentic. You Need to think in more than one dimension and think mind, body and soul

Here's to you, reclaim your spirit,and your health

I think you know, as well as I, that that is not a very realistic
idea. You could starve yourself. And then develop major
health issues and land in the hospital, but I don't think you had
that in mind. The only tried and true way to loose weight, is to
take it off slowly, like a few pounds every two weeks. And in
order to do that, you have to eat small portions of a balanced
meal every day, three times a day. WIth protein, vegitables
and fruit and milk or dairy for calcium. I was in the hospital
recently and I was on a very restrictive diet. No salt, no fats,
and no sugar. So that took the interest out of eating. And for
all I went without, I only lost three pounds for the week. The
idea is to eat less, but eat balanced, and then speed up your
exercise. Or if you don't exercise, start. And start out slow.
Walking or swimming are the two best ways to loose weight
without putting any stress on your joints to cause you stiffness
or injury
Believe me, nothing is so important, that you can't loose
the safe way and not harm your body. If you don't take care
of it now, you won't have it to kick around later in old age.

Safely? You can't. Even surgery has more recovery time if you do get 75 pounds off instantly. You have to work it off appropriately or your skin will not be able to return to it's shape and shrink with the loss of fat. That leaves rolls of skin and that is even harder to get rid of ... Don't harm your body, do it right. 10 to 15 pounds a month is normal and safe, maybe as much as 20 if you are on a diet and working with a trainer to boost those efforts.

Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can.
For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well.

this is not impossible, merely no longer very wholesome. you will possibly no longer lose all 40 pounds, yet I dropped particularly some weight in the present day via working stairs. My apt develop into on the 6th floor of a bldg and our elevator develop into broken. I dropped approximately 10 pounds in one month. Then I swam for an hour an afternoon, and did a million/2 hour cardio and a million/2 hour weight training. on a daily basis and that i dropped yet another 50 in like 3.5 months. besides the shown fact that it develop into problematic to maintain up. except somebody is paying you to artwork out that a lot, this is problematic to discover the time. As for nutrition, consume a lot and a lot and a lot of uncooked greens and end result, without toppings. additionally consume lowfat dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt) and lean protein (eggs, hen, fish - no longer fried, broiled or baked and returned, no toppings). NO soda, NO candy, NO chips, NO rapid nutrition, NO goodies in any respect. you're able to do it. it merely sucks. i'm at a 'can no longer do it' factor myself. do exactly no longer opt to offer up the nutrition or take in the exercising.

That's 9-10 lbs a week

To do this, you would have to cut between 31,500 and 35, 000 calories a week by both reducing calories from your diet and burning off more calories than usual.

This is not possible...I'm not even sure starving yourself would work (which is awful anyway so don't try!!!) b/c your body goes into 'starvation mode' and hangs on to fat more than if you would just eat.

Set a more realistic goal - one that's healthy, possible, and does not require cocaine and eating disorders like your 75lb goal would.

If you modify your diet and exercise regularly you should drop the weight fairly fast. Your first weight loss will most likely be a lot and then be less after that. the first week is always the most. also, don't be discouraged if you gain a little too. Muscle weighs more than fat. Stick with it and you should be on a long road to success.

That is a lot of weight to lose in such a low amount of time, and it's probably unhealthy. DON'T do anorexia because when you do start eating again, your body will become smarter than you and store fat for when you stop eating again. My best answer is probably working out and excercizing.

Light weight training, running 5 times a day at least 3 miles, swimming, lean protein, healthy carbs, a disciplined diet, and plenty of motivation!

Go to the gym, take those diet pills, buy yourself a skipping rope and skip for 10mins everyday. In the morning, drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice on an empty stomach
