How do you lose weight in a short time frame without having to give up your favorite foods?

If I was to do just that, I'd rather do it quickly and still eat my favorite foods at the same time.

You'd need a calorie burning workout to do daily. Nothing would be "quick", these things take time. I had a friend who weight 180 lbs and he wanted to weigh 160. I took him to the gym 4 days a week and showed him some stuff that I do. After 2 or 3 months we got him down to 161. Along with that I focused on changing his diet. He wanted the same thing as you, to not give up on the foods he loved. So what I did was just make sure he cut back on the portions. Instead of eating a whole pizza, I took half of it away and saved it for the next time he wanted pizza again. Instead of just eating out of a bag of chips I poured him a bowl and hid the bag from him. Little things like that that you can cut back on will help big time. The end result, he was happy of course!

-Exercise

-Cut back on portions

-Motivation

It's unlikely to work if your favorites are junk food. There are a few people who can do it like swimmer Michael Phelps who ate 10,000 calories a day while training and a lot of it was cheeseburgers. But this is an exception.

If your favorite foods are veggies, fruit and protein then exercise (strong workouts) will help you lose weight.

Workout A LOT and intensely. Its possible as long as you regulate the size of your meals. The key is that you burn more calories than what you take in from food. If you just cut down the size of your meals, you'll loose weight but it will take a lot of time.

Do not eat too much...eat that much which will satisfy your hunger...

Just find healthy foods that taste similar to what you like and substitute them. For example, I like burgers. Instead of beef (which can be fattening), I'll go for lean turkey burgers or even salmon burgers. I like french fries, so I bake a potato and add a little salt. You can trick your tongue or at least keep it content by substitutions.

I think it depends on your favorite foods. If it's mostly junk food, you can work out all day and you won't lose much. If the foods are healthy choices (meat, chicken, eggs), a little natural fat per meal, and green vegetables, that would probably work.
