    10 pounds, maybe. 20? You'll make yourself sick or worse. This is a project you should want to have started a lot sooner.

    To lose a pound, you have to expend 3500 more calories than you eat. So, first, figure out your daily caloric requirements. No cheating! http://www.annecollins.com/calories/calorie-needs-...

    You have a month. Four weeks, 2.5 pounds per week. Eat 8,750 (3,500 x 2.5) calories less each week than you calculated you will burn in seven days. That's 1,250 fewer calories each day. My burn rate is 1,715 per day, so knocking off 1,250 would be, well, pretty unpleasant. So up your activity rate -- reasonably. It will all be for nothing if you end up in traction!

    All of this presupposes that you are healthy and have had a physical fairly recently. This is important! Trying to lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks is potentially dangerous.

    There are some really great foundation garments for sale these days, smooth out all the bumps. Maybe 5 pounds and a shopping trip??

    Good luck, and have a great time at your reunion. You will when you see all the other folks who wish they had lost a few pounds sooner, too.

    Lifts a few weights so you'll be able to lose a few fats, do not move loopy begin out small and paintings up with a few typical pastime you realize two-three occasions every week 20-half-hour an afternoon you are going to lose extra weight. I can not uncover the tale on MSN however that's wherein I noticed that the persons misplaced 21 kilos in six weeks. But they misplaced extra with lifting weights than those who simply exercised and so they won extra muscular tissues.

    Well the best thing i suggest you do is dont eat after 6 the latest 7 p.m. because any later than that you go straight to sleep and dont digest properly. Also eat lots of greens and excerice best in the morning to start your day. Vitamins dont really help unless you excercise anyway so i suggest walking eating greens and eating early and no cheating with midnight snacks lol Good Luck!

    Balance your diet. Have small portion of lean meat. Buy fresh and frozen vegetables and fruit. Eat three servings of vegetables and have a piece of fruit. 2or 3 crackers with cheese. Skim Milk. Exercise. I did this on several occasions and lost at least ten lbs and more in a month. I hope you like veggies.

    I have a friend who took TrimSpa and lost like 26 lbs in a month. But she wasn't eating and was on the treadmill about 2 hrs a day. It didn't seem too safe, but if it's an "emergency"...

    No fat-no salt diet. Just boiled chicken breast (without skin). divide 1 kilo into eight servings (meals) with 1 slice of wheat bread for the whole day for 6 weeks. drink water only. Guaranteed that you will loose 10- 20 lbs in 6 weeks. No cheating please!
