I am in a competition to lose weight. Me and a couple of coworkers. we pay five dollars every friday when we weigh, and if we gain we pay an extra 5 dollars. then at the end of eight weeks, the one that lost the most, gets the pot so I need the money so bad for christmas. it has been 3 weeks, and I am in the last place. I need some advice on how to lose quickly. I got some cocunut oil. I heard it is good to lose weight has anyone heard of it. I also trying the low carb thing.

Sorry, I've never heard of any quick fix for losing weight fast that didn't end up hurting you in the end.
I feel for you definitely but I wouldn't do anything that sounded crazy.
Good luck with the competition. Sorry, I wasn't helpful!

I would start a gaining weight competition but that would be another way of continuing my destructive behaviors....

I did a body detox program which lasted 21 days and slowly reduced the bad foods and introduce a lot of organic non- processed foods. It also cleanses the colon from build up over the years from eating processed foods, etc (gross I know, i'm sorry) That stuff along is dead weight you are carrying around. I lost 10 lbs in the first 2 weeks healthily and dropped a pants size. It forces you to be creative with your eating and food preparation and is fun too knowing that your eating so good. Watch the pounds melt away and come out of the program with some really great eating habits! There are alot of these programs if you search online- but make sure that it does include a vitamin or suppliment along with the fiber pills. It's not a laxitive diet which some of you may be thinking. Anyways, it worked for me so maybe it will work for you.

hi, i have a few tips for you: eat a lot of non fat yoghurt and cottage cheese. for your main meals eat lean quisines or smart ones (the prepackaged low calorie foods), they are easy to prepare. when i get the sweet tooth i eat sugar free jello. i know, this is not the healthiest way, but it works for me :0).....good luck and keep us posted about your bet.

Among everything else suggested here...I would like to add a suggestion. Walk. Sounds too simple, I know. But trust me...it does help. And drink more water, less juices, sodas and caffeinne drinks. Trust me. A friend told me that you can lose up to 10lbs in a week(I think it was) if you drank nothing but water...along with healthy eating. See what happens. Her boyfriend is a health junkie.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
