I'm really not happy with how much I weigh, and I would like to know if it would be possible to lose 15-25 pounds (starting tomorrow) by Christmas. Is there any way I can without pills or spending a million bucks? I have dumbbells and a treadmill, but I will spend some money, approx 15-20 bucks...
Please help me acheive my goal! Thanks so much!

The most you can safely lose is 2-3 pounds per week. Anything more damages your health and is water loss which will come back immediately.
· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.

When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.
Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)
AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.
1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.
AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.
And the spell check would not work, so if I messed up p

No diet pills necessary! Most people dont know that 3-5 pounds of your bodies weight is daily weight, meaning if you go a week with out anything but a light dinner (like an apple or a yogurt) you could loose like 15 in a week! I went 2 weeks w/ out eating and i lost 20 pounds. And i was never "starving" or anything. Also, no harmful side affects or anything..

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

this a goal you should have set for yourself in September.
weight loss is not something you can achieve quickly, it simply isn't going to happen.
