Question

I am going on a cruise on the 17th of dec and i need to loose about 10-12 lbs by then. Does anyone have any suggestions on an easy and quick ways to loose weight. I'm desperate.

Answer 1

You should have been desperate a couple of weeks ago when you had time to lose the weight. A pound a day just isn't practical. I can help you get started, though....

Here’s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It’s purely mental. You have to learn to “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your calories, keep calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That’s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream.

Answer 2

You can't. It's not healthy. That would be losing 1 or more pounds a day and that is NOT good for you. You can maybe lose 3 or 4 pounds healthily by then, depending on what weight you're at right now. But if you DO end up losing 10-12 pounds in 10 days you're going to end up gaining back more than you lost faster than you lost it.

go to www.mypyramid.gov to find out exactly how much you should consume nad how much activity you need. when you are watchin TV maybe you should do sit ups or tune into Fit TV. Wake up a little early and put is some stretches or wahtever sport you like. afterschool do a routine that you will stick to. diet wise, stick to a 1,800 calorie diet. use a diet journal to help. record what you ate and it's calories. figure how much you went over and burn that. record the exercises and calories burnt. write in it daily. ask a counselor for school nutrition.
exercise too. i do 50 push ups, sit ups and stretch a lot. i jog atleast 30 minutes a day, i do yoga in my free time and dance sometimes! have fun doing it too! get buds to join
my food-
i eat a bowl of mini wheats that have lots of fiber with an able on the side for breakfast, school i have no extras for lunch, snack is a handful of nuts and dinner i don't over eat.
sometimes thirst is mistooken for hunger. so drink all the time to make sure.
the average person needs 8 glasses a day! ha!

and check some past questions about BMI and overweight/underweight to find out. and check your doctor or gym teacher to make sure dieting and exercising is okay. you cna damage yourself or hurt yourself a lot!

Answer 4

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!

Answer 5

cut off a foot, if that's not enough take some toes from the other one and try to get where you want.

you can't safely lose that amount of weight in that amount of time.

Answer 6

if you got the flu you could probably lose that much weight in 10 days....volunteer at a hospital and don't get the flu shot.

Answer 7

1 lbs = 3500 calories... Cut your calorie intake to about 1000 calories per day, your body will burn that much just by it's normal functions. So you need to burn 3500 calories per day. That will be difficult.
