5'5 1/2 " & 122lbs - How can I loose 10 lbs in 2 weeks?!?


Question:
I'm a pretty curvey girl, so alot of my weight is in my "love handles". I gained a few pounds the past couple of months, and now I'm going to Florida in 2 weeks and I want to lose ATLEAST 5 lbs and look good for the beach! I'm at 122 right now and I want to go down to 115. I'm TERRIBLE at dieting and exercising but if someone can give me an awesome diet to stick to and actually work in 2 weeks, that would be great. Any help? Thanks!

Answers:
well since you don't really wana exercise, but all the sugar. no candy, no bread, no late night runs to the fridge.

Eat salads, fruits and Luna Bars.

Eat lots of Fish, and not too much fried stuff since the oils and stuff are fatning.

NO JUNK FOOD.

Drink lots of water.

and try this: SMALL meals every like 3-4 hours a day, stopping at like 8 pm. Small meaning like :

10 am: cereal with soy milk (reg milk is fatning too)

1pm - some tuna, (or any kind of fish), a side of fruit.

3-4 pm - salad.

7-8 pm - yogurt


Ya this is like cutting everything out, but you need this fast and this will help you.

But also, take walks outside. If you cant like walk or jog for hours and hours, walk intsead of taking the bus here or there, do some sit-ups. start with like 30 the first day and then move 5-10 more each day.

sitting on your butt won't help!

I'm 5'8 and I'm doing everything I told you, and I go to the gym and I lost 4 pounds in a week. :)

Good luck!

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying. Loose as much as you want to !
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

P.S
Regular active exercise is advised with all weight loosing medicines and remedies :-) Take care
ok ummm 5lbs is possible but u need to diet or work out or both.
some ideas-
breakfast -granola, healthy cereal, nothing, 2 pieces whole wheat bread or 2 pancakes with i cant believe its not butter. 2 yogurts

add ons.Egg whites,fruits

drinks- Any kind of juice, if u must have milk have fat free

lunch- fish sandwich, chicken salad light dressing or no dressing thats big, fruits

dinner- fish, small amount of any meat, salad, fruits again, anything that isnt bread material like carbs

U have carbs in the morning because u burn them off and at night u do definatly dont have them because they turn into fat over night.

These are some ideas hope this helps, im well educated in health. lol
You are smoking crack if you think that you need to loose weight. You are just fine.
Your weight is fine. You don't need to lose anything.
girl im 5'4 and 118 and i look good (except a little curve)
but try pilates if u really want to
d
just so u know ppl can live without water 3days without food around 30 + but u have 2 drink lots of water tho so just dont eat for 10 days !!!! and do lots of exersise :o
I dont use the pills but I am a physical fitness leader and for the people that have to loose a few pounds but will get it back later, use hydroxy cut (for food consumption and energy) and "just before bed" that keeps your metabolism high when you sleep. But you do need to run... Running is the best thing to loose total weight
a TEMPORARY fix is the cabbage soup diet.... but once you start eating normal... you'll pick up some of the lbs back.

your best bet is to exercise. this may sound insane, but if you could jog/run at least 5 days a wk...for at least 60 mins each day, you'll see a MINOR difference in 2 wks! just remember, when you engage in any exercise program on a REGULAR basis, it usually takes 6 wks before you see results.

drink plenty of water
You shouldn't. From what I hear it's unhealthy to lose more than like 2 or 3 pounds a week. But don't quote me on that. What I do know is that losing too much weight to fast can cause gall bladder or kidney stones i just can't remember which. That is true though I know I sound unsure but it is.

ps i'm about your height and I can tell you that 122 pounds probably doesn't look as bad as you think it does. I wish i was 122. Also don't just stop eating- your metabolism will plummet because your body thinks your starving and goes into conservation mode. It's actually better to eat less more often- it keeps your metabolism going.
How about not eating when you're not hungry? Some people stick to daily schedule, a meal tree times a day, when they actually don't need that much food. I eat only when I'm hungry enough to defeat my laziness and cook something up, which usually happens once a day, but I have plenty of energy.
You do not need to be losing weight your fine. Im 5'7 and weigh 115 but I just need to tone a little bit. Thats probably what you need to do. =)

You are at a near perfect weight for your height. I agree with billie, you need tone. The fastest way there is some bodybuilding workout (squats with weights). Also spinning classes are great for rear-end.
You'd be unhealthy if you lost ten pounds, so please, get some perspective. Instead, focus on learning to write.
Lose, not loose. Curvy, not curvey. A lot, not alot. At least, not Atleast. It ticks me off, ok?
beauty is within dear....... but to lose good weight.... lemons and water
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:
http://www.webmd.com/content/article/86/99147.htm
http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.
