I really need to lose 50 pounds in 2 months, could someone please tell me some good ways to lose weight fast?

50 lbs. in two months is way to much to lose all at once, in two months. 2 lbs. a week is pretty normal with diet and excercise, lots of water to flush out your system every day and remove toxins and definitely three meals a day, and no starving, lots of walking always does it for me fairly quickly. You dont want to lose muscle mass, just fat.

Lots of veggies, no white bread, whole wheat bread is better, lean meat, chicken, fish.

What you need to do is lower your body fat percentage, and this comes from healthy and steady weight loss of no more then 3 pounds a week. So your going to lose weight just not 50 in so short a period. Lossing weight quickly can be done, but this loss will be from fluid losses whcih you can regain rather quickly. So now that you know this if you want to start you have to begin with healthy and natural foods in the right quantities. You need 2-3 servings of Milk, yogurt and cheese, 1 serving is 1 cup Low fat, skim milk, cottage cheese, or low fat, skim or partially skimmed cheese a serving of cheese is 1 1/2 oz. And the reason for this is calcium regulates energy metabolism, which increases fat breakdown and decrease tha amount of body fat. (The calcium seems to increase the bodys core temperature and causes it to burn calories faster). You need Whole grains, wheat for instance, instead of white flour products, wheat, bread, cereals, rice and pasta. a serving of this is; 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup rice,cereal, or pasta. You need 3-5 serving of veggies, a sering is 1/2 cup leafy veggies, 1/2 cup cooked or raw, and 3/4 cup veggie juice, Fruits 2-4 servings, 1 medium sized fruit, 1/2 cup chopped, or cooked, or 3/4 cup 100% fruit juice. You should also have some beans, lean meat or fish 2-3 servings, a serving is 1/2 cup cooked beans, 1/3 cup nuts, or seeds, and 3 oz of lean meats, like skinless chicken, turkey breast, loin type meats or fish. You need to cut out soda, presweetened drinks and drink alot of water, cut out junk food, like cakes, chips, cookies, candy, anything high in sodium or sugar. Smaller portions is the key, read nutritional labels, and stick to the one portion size of whatever you eat, cut out fast foods, and fried foods. And lastly you have to exercise, 4-5 times a weeks, work in some aerobics, resistance training, walking, jogging, biking, but at least 30-60minutes worth--you have to work the whole body and get your metabolism moving to lose weight! It's gonna take dedication and hard work but you can lose some of the weight, this way!

I want to lose this weight because I'm going back to school in two months and I don't want to be the "fat" girl anymore.

You don't lose 50 lbs in 2 months without damage to yourself.
You start a good proper diet, and increase your expercise every day. You will hve lost some, but you keep this up and over time you will start properly losing weight

You want to eat five meals a day the size of your fist. Drink lots of water. Work out.

Hi valgal ,
Good time of the year to lose weight ! I'm guessing you are younger , a student ? Ok you can make great progress just in June and July then it gets slower . I have to say 30-35 pounds loss is about the best you can hope for and that loss will require a great effort .
Of course I always stress to drink 4-5 liters of water every 24 hours . You can read my other posts for exercise suggestions . I don't know what you have to work with ? I get a little extreme with exercise but it works for me . Workout twice a day , 2-3 times in June then in July you will need to skip a day a week .
Much good nutrition advice on this board much of which is suited for you . Water water water !!! Enjoy the heat .
Good luck ......... Russell

it's cool you want to lose 50 pounds. that's what i'm trying to do. The amount you should lose in a month is between 8 to 10 pounds. So in 2 months you could lose around 20 pounds which isn't a bad start. And remember, IF someone calls you fat, know that you are trying to lose weight and will definitely lose it! An estimated amount of months it would take to lose that much weight would be 5 - 6 months. I know it sounds like alot but it's not. It's only half a year and it will go by quickly. The less the portion size and the more variety (fruits and vegggies) will lose you the weight quicker. Try eating lemons, if they're too sour put one in water to get rid of most of the sour taste Lemons boost metabolism and make you lose weight. Exercize is a great way to get in shape. If you think 2-3 pounds a week is small, it's not. 160 nails = 1 pounds of weight loss.
which means 50 pounds is 8000 nails. It seems like alot but remember 1 pounds is 160 nails so it will go by rather quickly. There are many tips online you can check out too!

hope this helps!

this is good advice 2-3 lbs a week is a great weight loss it is steady and prevents weight gain, also there's 3500 calories in 1 pound of stored fat, so reduction of caloric intake is a must. Try filling a gallon jug with water, sugar free cranberry juice, and 2 tbsp real lemon juice and drink throughout the day. You definately are right on with the exercise advice, you need smaller portions, healthier choices, and exercise in order to achieve your goal. These changes need to be lifelong changes, slow and steady is the way to go!

Cold hard fact: there is no way to safely lose 50 pounds in 2 months without surgery.

Good news: You can look like you lost 10 to 15 pounds with good posture and wearing clothes that fit your properly and are meant to accentuate what is best on your figure while playing down your problem areas.

I love this show What Not to Wear : TLC

They really teach folks how to make the best out of any figure. I have noticed that even thin girls today look chunky because they wear clothes way too tight which causes noticable bulges and muffin tops.

Finding confidence in yourself will make you attractive, no matter what the number on the scale says.
