Good luck on your endeavor , but thruthfully I have always seen that loosing weight fast is never good, although in the beginning of diets , people tend to loose more than in the following weeks.
I don't have any advice for a quick weight loss, I just don't like the idea of loosing weight fast.

I agree with MsKanga, but I can tell you that when I have wanted to lose weight fast, the Induction part of the Atkins diet can help you lose quickly, although a lot of it is water. If you cut out your carbs almost completely your body easily releases water, but it's easy to dehydrate, so make sure you DRINK lots of water, and stay within close proximity to the ladies room.

Good luck!

with MsKanga and AnnieT. I did induction and lost 6 lbs in two weeks, but gained it all back with a month.

Have you considered just buying something for the dinner, something that fits, looks good and is comfortable. I know you'll have a better time if you feel good in what you are wearing, meaning both in how you look and your comfort level. I have bought dresses for such occassions at a Ladies Consignment (resale of used clothing) Store in my town and was very pleased with the quality of the dress for the price. Seems like the larger department stores have been running great sales with the economy the way it is too.

Just my .02.

Sweetie, you can't change your life in a week.

It does sound like now is a good time for you to get started, though! If you commit yourself, you can be the size you want down the road. It sounds like you don't have a lot to lose, so it won't take long. But certainly more than a week.

Like the others have said, you need to wear something that fits and makes you feel good. It sounds like that means shopping.

For the dinner, I recommend some good foundation garments to help control whichever areas concern you the most, and a good-fitting outfit that makes you feel comfortable.

I understand not wanting to buy stuff in your current size if that's not where you want to be, but I think it's VERY IMPORTANT to always have an outfit or two that fits and makes you look and feel good. Even if you won't be needing it for very long!

thanks guys, i know that i can't change my life in a week obviously but I just wanted some tips to lose a couple lbs this week for the black tie dinner. i am willing to buy a new outfit i was just saying i didn't already buy a nice dress in a bigger size yet since i have been sick and wasn't looking forward to it. just looking for support.

People do loose fast on the first few weeks of Atkins (induction) Try that, but it is not a quick fix thing. Like everyone said it is not healthy to do crash diets. Good luck, and I am sure you will look stunning no matter what

 

[PrincessMo]

well I know I won't be crash dieting just starting my diet plans early perhaps. thanks for the suggestions on getting a jump start on a new healthy lifestyle. I appreciate everyone's help and support. Have A Disney Day!!!
