Don't starve yourself! You can't lose weight quickly and safely, the safest way is 2-3 lbs. a week.

to lose that much weight in 5 days is unhealthy and you will gain it back before you know it so take it slow, losing 2 lbs a week is the safest way to go

It depends on your height, if u are 10 and weight 127 and were like 4'10, you would be considered over weight for your height!
i am 125 ( at risk of becoming overweight) and i come her so that i can lose like 10 lbs, so i wont become overweight, i am only 12 and weight that much, so u shouldn't be worried why other people come here, be worrried for u!

If you want to lose weight you need to take your time. You are not going to lose weight instantly. Make small changes to the foods you eat as you go. Cut out fatty foods, sweats and foods like that first. Eating whole wheat bread it much better for you. Good luck!!

okay heres the thing. you can do 1000 situps everyday and it wouldnt make a difference because while your doing all of those excersices, your building up muscle but you cant see it because its coverered by fat. so if you want a slimmer stomach then you have to work your entire body. ex: running, swimming.... just work out your entire body and your waist size will go down. dont expect changes very soon.

well you are setting waaayy unrealistic gaol! you should continue to be active. a lot of your weight is probably muscle. you probably have the same problem i have. you eat when youre not hungry! make sure you body is telling you its hungry, dont just eat because you like the food or are bored. cut down on the snacks and eat healthier average sized meals and smal snackws whne you have a craving but dont go crazy!

it could have been water weight but u also could have been wearing heavier clothes or u had ure sneaks on one of the times or if u had if one of the times u had eaten right before u weighed ureself and the other time ure stomach was empty any of those could have contributed to it

Before anyone gives you any info, it'd help if you would put your height, it helps to get a better idea of what people are dealing with.

I've lost 22 lbs. Just exercise, Aerobics did it for me. Don't eat as much sugar, or unhealthy stuff. Eat morefruit. Don't go cold turkey with sugar. Once you start to lose weight, it will get harder so i suggest to give your self a easy exercise plan at first and build up. Take small steps when you eat. Start to eat less, then when your stomach adjusts to that, you can reduce your food intake a little more, and so on. Hopl this will help you.

You shouldn't try to lose weight quickly. Even though it would be great especially if u want to be slim in time for a special event or something but chances are that if you lose weight quickly you will gain it back just as quickly. So it would be better to just take the time and do it slower way by exercising everyday and eating right.
