Hi, I got best answer for this before (the first bit) so someone thought it was worthwhile information and I think I'll continue to use it until people start being sensible about their body image and stop bowing to what they think they should look like.
There is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland and make the body lose water (hence weight). It's good to exercise as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. It may also be that you're not having enough calories as the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose. Every cell in your body respires and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscle mass weighs four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Women are designed differently to men and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - do your clothes fit better and how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then incorporate some light weights (low weight, high repetitions) into your regime.
Additionally, I have friends who have done Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) so correcting posture imbalances and making a slimmer shape. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.
Additionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat.
Hope this helps.

Tough job. You'd have to cut your net calorie intake by 2,200 calories per day. Can you stretch 8 weeks into 16 or 24? You probably didn't put those 35 pounds on in 8 weeks. It makes sense to ease them off without starving yourself or exercising yourself into exhaustion.

start by simply walking about an hour each day at a comfortable pace. The reason a lot of us carry extra weight around is mainly because the intake of calories is not balanced with the burning of calories within our bodies. What this means is that if you increase your body's calorie burning capabilities with exercise and decrease your body's intake of calories by eating healthy sensible foods in moderation then you will drop weight. So, start by walking about an hour a day; don't overexert yourself but also don't forget to push yourself either. Then after you finish try doing some stretching, especially with your legs; this will improve your circulation and help prevent you from developing any muscle damage from moving out of a previously sedentary lifestyle. Also try, in combination with the walking, going into a sauna or steam-room daily. This will help remove the toxins from your body and also raise your heart rate if you try it after you exercise. Remember with any physical activity not to continue if your breathing or heart rate become irregular or severely labored.

This can be a very frustrating situation. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. First off you want to start by setting up a goal of how much you want to lose and in what amount of time. It's pretty hard to go somewhere if you don't have any idea of where you are going. Then you want to start off with your portion control. Eat until you are satisfied not until you are stuffed. Then you want to get on some type of weight loss program and work out. This will help keep you heading in the right direction by giving you something to follow. Take a look at the site below for some really good reviews on weight loss programs and supplements. Then make sure that you surround yourself with people that know you CAN do it! Good luck!
