How to lose weight FAST for prom in 2 days?
I just need to lose 2-3 pounds because I am normally a size 5 but the dress I bought is a 3-4 because the 5 looked too loose and now I am afraid the 3-4 may be a bit too tight. I weigh 140 and am 5’5 I am not sure what is healthy to eat without having to buy all the ingredients. I am 17. any help?

You should have thought about loosing weight sooner then 2 days before prom.well, you need to go with a bigger dress, and this summer, start working out and eating lots of greens and fruits. Plus your height and weight, i dont think you need to lose anything, thats my personal opinion girls who are too skinny are too ugly. Who cares what size it is as long as you go the curves, the look size should not matter, especially when you havent even reach double digits.

Drink water, take vitamins, eat only negative calorie foods, work out in heavy clothing (sweats, long shirt, trash bags). You can lose 10 pounds of water weight. Don’t not drink, don’t throw up or take laxatives/diuretics they could kill you if you do all of them at once.

2-3 pounds is not going to make a difference for you to fit in that dress. you needed to lose inches not pounds and you don’t have enough time for that. sorry.

The good news is that its not hard to lose 2 pounds in two days temporarily. There are ways to take it off quickly, but if you want to be healthy, you are going to gain it back a few days later.
The best advice I can give is to watch everything you eat for the next couple days and note the sodium levels in relation to calorie count. If an item has 300 calories8% DV, and 15%DV of sodium, you should pass on it. Sodium retains water. don’t cut it out entirely, but reduce it.
For the next two days, do cardio, run, do aerobics, find a sauna and use it for 20-25 minutes but no more than this. Be sure to drink enough water. If you aren’t drinking, you’re body will hoard water. If you drink enough, your body will adjust and not store quite as much. Also, eat foods that are high in fiber.
These are simple things that will make a pretty big difference in the short run. You will gain the weight back pretty quickly once you return to normal eating habits, but for prom night, the dress should fit much better.
Good luck and Enjoy the Prom!
P.S. Even if you don’t do the above, DO NOT DO the following:
Diet Pills(you are only 17)
Stop Eating-Anorexia
Vomiting-Bulemia
Sauna-ing for more than 25 minutes at a time
Anything that you wouldn’t let a friend try

Hey 🙂 I just found this awesome article on “the science behind weight loss”. I got it from dietnation.com but I’ll paste it here to save you the trouble:
“Your body needs a certain amount of calories each day to maintain performance of normal activities, such as walking, breathing, sleeping, and thinking. Depending on your size, your body will require a different amount of calories each day.
On the flip side, if you eat too few calories your body will think its starving. This phenomenon goes back to the days of the caveman, when cave people weren’t really sure when or where they would find their next meal. The body learned to store excess calories as fat for future use. Well, we no longer live like that as we, fortunately and unfortunately, have unlimited access to food thanks to modern conveniences. What this means is, if you’re not eating enough calories your body will store the calories it does get as fat rather than trying to burn those calories. That sounds counterproductive, and it is. That’s why it’s important to feed your body regularly with the right amount of calories from the right sources.
One pound of fat equals about 3500 calories of stored energy. To lose weight you need to eat fewer calories each day or get your butt to the gym and burn off those calories. It’s that easy – you don’t need to be a mathematician to lose weight, you just need to start taking a look at some of your daily habits. Losing weight could mean shaving an extra 250-500 calories off your daily intake. Start your morning with a tall latte? Just one Vanilla Latte could pack an extra 250+ calories onto your daily caloric intake. By simply substituting your latte with regular coffee or green tea you could reduce your caloric intake substantially. If you want to try more exercise, calorie-burning activities such as walking to work, going for a jog with a friend, or taking the kids on a bike ride are all fun and easy ways to increase your daily activity level.
It is also important to remember that you need to eat the right calories from the right sources to lose weight and to maintain your weight loss. A meal of jelly beans and ding dongs that equals your daily caloric needs will not help you lose weight because these types of food are not nutrient sources that your body can use efficiently.
Eating right is a vital component of any weight loss plan, but it’s also very important to ensure that you get enough exercise. Combine aerobic exercise activities (also know as cardio) like walking, jogging or cycling with weight training (it doesn’t have to be anything too intense, but it helps a lot to lift some weights) to maximize your weight loss.”
I really like how this explains weight loss! Also while I was searching around I found this fantastic video which you should definitely check out, has a pile of great tips for how to shed the pounds: http://tinyurl.com/lose-weight-be-happy
I really hope this helps, the fact that you’re looking for help is a great start!
Good luck 🙂

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.
2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don’t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.
3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.
4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.
