| Best way to lose a QUICK 20 lbs? |
Help. Never had to do this before! Would love honest comments from your own experience, please. Over the counter pills? Diets? Detox? (Heading to FL in just a few weeks and nothing fits. Can’t afford a new wardrobe. And yes…..that IS me eating cake in the picture!) Thanks much!

I gave up both a university position and a teaching position to move due to a short-term career opportunity for my husband, having been told that finding something comparable to what I had would be no problem where we moved Well, I've been applying
I love listening to French Radio on Pandora. I feel like I am strolling down the Champs-Elysees. The music is happy and takes me right back to Paris. Enjoy it!Raw coconut oil. I use it for everything--cleansing, to add to my Renovage for a night cream, moisturizing, soothing. Just everything. And my Burt's Bee's lip balm. But, coconut oil is the main reason I'm hooked on RMSBeauty makeup.
Perhaps you are thinking about a generation or ago. You would be retiring and "winding" down at 59, but times are different. You are probably much more "with it" than in those days, your health is better but due to economics going to work longeI gave up wheat and sugar in my early twenties and except for social occasions where pizza or pasta or birthday cake are served, or the long hike that earns me a piece of chocolate, I've stuck with that plan.

I lost 20 lbs recently. Didn’t take too much work either. I gave up drinking pop which was really getting out of control. Then I switched my bread to either none, or Weight Watchers bread which you can buy in any grocery store. I also get out my juicer and juice for even a few days, and the weight melts away.
Please don’t fall for any quick weight loss schemes. You can lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week, that’s it. Anything else is water and temporary.
My suggestion is to get a couple of outfits that fit you now and that you look really good in. Then sail thorugh your trip with confidence and enjoy yourself. You say you can’t afford new clothes — save the money you’d spend on pills, diets, and detox, and there’s your clothes money!
Nothing safe will let you lose 20 lbs in two weeks, but you did say a “Few” weeks, didn’t you. Eat less (but eat right) and exercise more. That’s the key. We all know it, but most of us don’t want to do it. HA! It is very possible to loose six to nine pounds in two or three weeks. It basically depends on how much you are over weight. Remember the faster it comes off, the faster it goes back on, plus some. The weight watcher’s diet, will get you on track, and keep you on track. You can even watch what you eat, while you are in FL, and possibly drop a few pounds while you are there.
Thanks, ladies, for the candid comments so far! I am 15-20 overweight. It came on quickly due to taking Lyrica for a pinched nerve. I have started back on the treadmill and using some light weights. I would just love to get a quick start….
