Is this goal impossible?

Question

Okay, well my birthday party is in about 3 weeks...and I want to drop to at least 135 lbs. (I'm about 145 now). It's a pool party btw.

Is there any way I can drop this much way healthily?

No crash diets or anything...just a healthy, and fast, weight loss?

Girls, please share anything you've done that has helped you lose weight quickly before! I don't wanna look too big in my bathing suit...

eating healthy and working out will allow you to lose 1-2 pounds a week plus maybe a little more the first week due to water weight which you will eventually gain back. to lose a pound a week you need to cut back 500 calories a day in what you eat. if you want to lose 2 per week then aim to also burn 500 calories a day.

if you have a smart phone you can download an app called "my fitness pal" and you put in what you eat each day and what exercise you do and it keeps track of how many calories youve consumed and burned and other things such as what percentage of your daily food intake is fat, cabs, or protein. this app will give you a better idea of what you are putting into your body so eventually you will have an understanding without using it, but to stay on track this is a good idea.

cutting out sugar I find is the quickest way to drop the pounds (I dropped 7 pounds in a month from cutting unnatural sugars out and I didn't workout or anything in that time, nor was I overweight). its a good idea to read food labels and keep track of your sugar (if you use the app I talked about, it keeps track of your sugar for you). aim for less than 35g per day.

cut out simple carbohydrates for right now (white bread, pasta, cookies, chocolate bars, etc.). eat a lot of good complex carbs and lean proteins. (you can google those things if you don't know what kind of foods those would be). also include some healthy fats in your diet, as they will aid you in burning fat. healthy fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and they are in foods such as avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

drink lots of water. take your weight in lbs and divide that in half. now take that number and drink that amount of water in ounces every day or more if you are working out. if you think the taste of water is too bland try adding lemon or lime to it to add flavor.

as for exercise, try a mix of things;some cardio, some weight training (you can do this with just a small set of dumbbells if you don't have access to other equipment) and there are tons of toning and strengthening workouts on YouTube. toneitup has a great channel with tons of workouts and sarahfit has workouts as well.

i hope this helped! good luck!

This sounds really strange but bare with me-

Don't eat dairy products.

I've been a vegetarian pretty much all my life and I'm an average build I've had a little extra fat on my stomach. I cut dairy out and boom you drop some of that unwanted fat.

Oh and don't eat stuff that has sugar added to it that's not good for you either, so don't snack on candy or things that have a lot of added sugar(like cereal). Juice, Soda and energy drinks are absolutely packed with sugar, water is your new bff.

I also work out but not a crazy amount. Every night do pushups, crunches, leg lifts, planks, lifting some weights and wall sits. Sometimes, go for a run(more like a jog/walk) too if feeling inspired.

I can't say how much you'll lose but happy healthy eating-Let me know if you want any more help(:

P.S. I don't know how this would work while eating meat, since I haven't done that..

That's a lot of weight to lose in 3 weeks. It's doable but will require extreme measures that cannot be maintained for any longer than a month or so, not safely anyway, and a good chunk of the weight you lose will be water weight which will be regained once you resume normal, healthy eating habits.

For someone who is already at a healthy weight range, the fastest rate of loss that is realistically achievable is about 1-1.5 lbs per week.

My tip for dieting is that when you go for food to your store, make a complete list of all you need for your nutrition plan. You can use some free apps like
And stick strictly to the list. It will allow you to buy exactly the amount you need and not more or less. It helps me in my nutrition really a lot, and helps me to eat healthy

Actually having a crash diet for a week or two is not unhealthy just be sure to gradually eat more afterward. Our body can take periods of famine, it was designed to, the thing is just that afterward it will increasingly store fat, so you can't have a calories surplus afterward. if you're still in a light deficit it should be fine

But that aside you can't really lose weight healthy in that amount of time. You'll drastically have to reduce your calorie intake link take a look at this, it gives you good summary of what some models to stay in shape and also what they did too lose pregnancy weight, fast. It's up to you if really want to go through that

Only eat vegetables and drink water (parsley tea is good for eliminating water weight)... Exercise and the weight will come off no problem =D
