I have a wedding to go to at the weekend and need to lose a few pounds to fit into my bridesmaid dress.

change your diet to eating yogurt in the morning and for lunch, or even a peice of toast and some fresh fruit. Stay away from any preserved things, eat good portions for dinner, and EXCERSIZE!!! I do crunches(50),push-ups(20), and I run around(ok, I jog around the block), I also do karate, but that hasn't helped any

Cut out wheat and sugar and drink loads of water, you may find you lose some 'bloat' and appear slimmer, also, check your posture very carefully, you may be slumping and making yourself look fatter if you have to , by some tummy trimming knickers, not very sexy but they do work!

stop eating do exercise!

Healthy weight loss tips
* Take one pound at a time
Don???t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.
Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.
Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.
* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.
The same logic applies for losing weight.
* Stay off the scales
Don???t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.
If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.
* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.
* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.
* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.
* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.
* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.
* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.
* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

Its a bit late now...I guess don't eat for a few days. Try to sweat out any water you are holding onto.

Fags and laxatives. And lots of water.
Or eat nothing but Cup a Soups for the rest of the week.

Exercise - will tighten muscles in and make you look thinner - posture too - eat lots of veg soup. Nettle tea is also good.

you have a full 4-5 days.... get a sweat suit and work out. drink water. tons of CARDIO, most importantly don't eat. as gross as all that sounds, you can squeeze out 5-8 pounds of water from your body just doing that. it's all short term loss, but will help you get to the point that you want.

minimum calories and maximum exercise..just not to the point of collapse at the wedding..be careful though cos if u go over the top and wear y'self out u might look like sh*t,which defeats the object of course... good luck mate..hope it works out.

Coke all day and Coke all night..(Cola)

cut out carbs completely,drink 10 glasses of water a day and eat food that is extremely low in fat and high in protein

cantelope,its natures xlax

Daily early in the morning add a teaspoone of honey & a teaspoone of extract of lemon in aglass of warm water & drink it in empty stomach. I'm sure there vil b alot of difference within aweek.

Look up the master cleanse diet.. its not to bad and works!

A wise man once said 'The human head weighs 8 pounds' - cut it off then!
A strict Atkins diet should do the job, but don't do it any longer than two weeks as it's not that good for you. If you want to keep the weight off go afterwards go for a proper diet where you can eat anything, but in moderation. WeithWatchers although expensive is good, and easy to keep to.

follow the cambridge diet to lose up to 2 stone in 4 weeks!

Ya should've thought about this more than a week before the event...best way to lose weight is watch what you eat, and exercise...a good weightloss plan, with hopes of keeping it off, will have you losing no more than 3lbs a week...
Cut out the junk food and high calorie "stuff" this week...eat lean met and veggies...drink lots of water...and try to workout for an hour a day several days a week (I shoot for 5)...
DO NOT skip any meals...that just slows your metabolism and causes it to be tougher to lose weight down the road...eat sensibly and exercise to burn those excess calories...
Good luck...and congrats to the 'happy couple'...

at the weekend? I'd suggest you live on water and celery then.

Hi, as you need to loose weight for this weekend you cant loose a dramatic amount of wait to fit into your dress, you may of wanted to considered loosing the pounds before this week anyway. The best thing for you to do is half nearly every meal you have and dont snack in between for the whole week. You may loose up to 3lbs doing this which should be enough. Other than doing this there is no other way. Even not eating wont work as most of the time you need to eat to loose the weight but you just eat less. Also if you loose weight due to excercise, it wont hurt to do 30mins a day you may even loose more than 3lbs.

I tried 100% Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
For all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:
Asker's Rating: *****
very good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week
i think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time
**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs???you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.

ha good luck you wont do it by then took me 2years to lose weight

it is not recommendable,
a quick methods may fulfill tactical, not strategical targets
always is better to change a diet habits and to increase muscular activity

depending on how far away the wedding is you could always run there in a shell suit - that should shed a few pounds?

Try a "juicer," they are kind of expensive, but if you fast, on just drinking the Juice, you'll see quick results. (Strawberries & grapes are really good mixed together)
