RedThread	You have weight-loss surgery. Seriously, I don't think that's normal or healthy to lose 15lbs a week. I am reading a book right now about making 2 degree changes. Just losing a couple pounds a week can have a dramatic impact on your health and waistline. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessay	To lose weight is a very serious thing to do. To lose weight you should regulate your diet according to Canada's food guide, and excersize daily. Make sure you do not limit your food intake or water intake, these are extremly vital in your process to lose weight. All healthy people are fit and eat properly. DO NOT TRY ANYTHINg DANGEROUS LIKE ANOREXIA! Anorexia will literally start eating away at your muscles and you will soon be to frail to walk and you will die. If you survive anorexia you will deal with constant hunger pains forever! I hope this helps you and best of luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mike Matney	Don't do it. It's better to lose about 2 to 3 pounds a week at most. The reason is if you do more than that, you will most likely be losing muscle as well as fat. If you start losing muscle, your metabolism will go down and you will gain the weight back easier. You could lose some water weight as well, but that's not really helping either. It's better to exercise to lose the fat. Eat correctly to keep the muscle. If you aren't losing weight while exercising, try reducing your calories by a few hundred less to see if it helps. Starting and keeping an exercise program is hard. For me, I started small - walking more and giving up soda. After awhile, I added more exercise and modified my eating a bit more.

jdc	You probably can't sustain that, but if you just want one week, Slim-fast works really well. If you follow the program, you lose a lot of water weight, and clear out your system. Maintain an active lifesyle and your burned calories will be more than your intake. It's a temp fix, once you resume your regular diet, it will come back. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joey	Yea, it's true! Normal weight loss is about 2 lbs per week. You should try to do it the right way and not try to do it fast. It's more worth it because if you lose it the right way the chances of gaining it back (and then some) are smaller. Trust me! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

grandmalucyplays	there is no safe way to do this Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hersheba	If you need to lose 15lb by next Thursday, you should have started about three to six weeks ago! Starving yourself will not make you that much lighter, just ill. The only solution is to move more, eat less (it's working for me). Join a gym, take up salsa dancing, have more sex, whatever, it's all exercise and watch your diet!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tassy	you won't lose that much in a week even if you ate nothing but drank water. unless maybe u exercise excessively but that would burn up all your energy and you would most likely faint. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NeoLocks	You don't. Please don't look at shows like the biggest loser and think it's natural. They have doctors and all they do is deal with fitness and eating healthy, there is nothing else to do. 2-3 lbs. a week is excellent for a normal human being. Life is precious.

Hmg♥Brd	ChaCha, Just make your eating portions half the size of what your used to.....And make yourself take walks!! Walks are so good for your cardiovascular system and they help every part of your body to lose weight!! I love, love,love, my walks!!! Then when your home you can do excercises in bed at nights, or before you get up in the morning would be better, because excercising gives you energy and if you do them at nighttime like the models do than it may take you a bit longer to go to sleep. Either way these excercises I'm going to give you are so Wonderful for losing weight quickly!! Your lying on your back, arms down straight on your sides,knees up and bent and start pushing your pelvic up as tight as you can hold, then lay down for a minute, and repeat. Another one is "Crunches" you take your head and push it up as far as you can go towards your stomache as possible with your arms brasing the back of your neck, and with your knees up or down. With your knees down it makes it a harder work-out but better results!! Than you can lay your arms straight on your sides again, and put your mid-area up in the air and start riding the bike straight up in the air, NOT down bed level!! While those legs are up in the air, you can also do the scissors with them. One leg as far to one side as possible while the other is the exact opposite!! Models do these, I heard on the "Tyra Banks" show. So,if Models can do them and look how great they look, than they are very effective this I promise you!! When I first started to doing them I couldn't believe how fast I started feeling and seeing results!!! Good Luck hun!! You wont have a hard time loseing that weight should you be firm and discipline yourself about doing the above regimen!! Also, you could eat just fruits and vegeez for a week if you really want to try to lose the weight even faster with only half a peice of whole grain wheat bread and maybe some salmon or boneless skinless baked honey chicken. Excellent diet for losing weight quick too!! Good Luck again!! Smile, you'll be there in no time FLAT!! You'll see!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

FLOWCOM	Milo of Croton, a legendary Greek wrestler from the 6th century B.C., is said to have developed his thunderous strength by shouldering a calf every day until it was a bull. There’s also an old story about a poor, overweight man who lost 100 lbs. by lugging water buckets around his basement, filling them higher and higher, week after week, and eventually replacing the water with stones. These are unconventional approaches, to be sure, yet the fundamental lesson is clear: if you have access to bulls and buckets, you’ve already won half the battle. You need to understand a few facts about weight loss. Eating right will help you lose weight. So will exercise. Doing both together (though never simultaneously) produces the best results. To lose one pound of fat, you need to burn about 3,500 calories—aside from those needed to maintain your current weight. Let’s say you eat 3,000 calories a day and weigh a steady 200 lbs. If you cut back to 2,700 calories a day, the loss is equal to: —300 calories per day —2,100 calories per week —109,500 calories per year At the end of a year, you’ll have lost 30 lbs. by cutting out the daily equivalent of a Snickers bar. Lose an additional 200 calories a day with exercise and you could lose 15 lbs. in 15 weeks—a pound a week. Not bad for 20 minutes of daily exercise and a barely noticeable calorie reduction. Ordinary activities will burn a surprising number of calories. Fifteen minutes of lawn mowing, for example, burns 100 calories. But if you hope to burn at least 200 calories a day without resorting to running or traditional equipment-based exercises, you’ll need to multitask. Here are 5 amazing 20-minute combos that’ll have you down a belt size in no time! Get pumped! Raking Leaves Uphill with a 10 Lbs. Load on Your Back Calories Burned: 300 Description: Strap a small cinder block onto your back using ordinary rope and grab a rake. Take a breath of fresh, autumn air. It’s great to be outside! Clearing a single leafy hill is a terrific way to burn fat and beautify the neighborhood…just don’t forget the twist ties! Playing the Flute During Sexual Intercourse Calories Burned: 200 Description: Imagine how surprised your lover will be when you begin to play ‘Greensleeves’ during coitus. Everybody knows that strenuous sex is fun, easy, and good for your health, but so is flute-playing. You’ll be wondering why you never put the two together before! Hunting on a Golf Course Calories Burned: 200 Description: Exercise ought to be fun. And though it’s good to push yourself from time to time, you want to avoid activities that are too difficult—or too dull. Aging golfers make easy targets, and there are plenty to go around. If you don’t want to find yourself exercising in prison, use a paint gun…or aim low! Gulping Cold Water During Vigorous Swimming Calories Burned: 300 Description: When you swallow ice cold water, you expend energy heating it up to body temperature. Drinking 8 cups of cold water burns 67 calories, but filling and refilling cups can be a chore. Leap into an icy ocean, pond, or swimming pool and start flailing. Keep your mouth open! Don’t let that ‘bloated feeling’ fool you. All the water flooding into your stomach and lungs will actually help you lose weight in the long run! Square Dancing While Stacking Wood Calories Burned: 350 Description: Working out with a partner can keep you motivated, but stacking wood has never been a couples activity—until now. Grab your partner, grab some wood! Workin’ out now, and workin’ good! Stack it low, stack it high! Wave to your partner, don’t be shy! Stack those logs, and stack ‘em neat—then clap your hands and stamp your feet! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
