    Honestlyyyyy it's not going to happen. Do your research and you'll see that losing a pound a day is pretty much impossible. You can definitely commit yourself to working out everyday and eating at a deficit. Try Jillian michaels 30 day shred! I'm halfway through and already seeing results. You're probably going to get a rough backlash on this post so prepare for that. Try and just enjoy prom!

    Buy a dress that is flattering, start a moderate plan of nutritious eating at a deficit, get some exercise, and enjoy the prom. You are not going to lose 20 pounds in a month. But all the rest of your life can be set on a path to health and fitness.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no such thing. It sounds like maybe you've fallen prey to the lies they tell you in magazines. It's good that you're young, so you can unlearn these lies now.

    Here's the truth: weight loss and maintaining that loss is a lifetime effort. It's a state of being, not a state of temporary *doing*. It takes lots of time, hard work, loyalty, patience, and dedication...day, after day, after day, after day, after day.....until you die. This is because being healthy is based on good character and good behavior, and anything good and worthwhile must be done long term, for life. Not for a few weeks.

    The sooner you can get rid of the lie that instant gratification is the most important thing in the world, the better. This is part of why you gained weight in the first place - you believed that getting what you wanted NOW (lots of food, sweets, etc.) was better than working toward being healthy LATER. Getting what you want NOW, on occasion, is nice. Like a birthday present. Or using part of your allowance for something at the mall. But my guess is that generally you want EVERYTHING now....and this is absolutely not how life works. Clarification: this is not how GOOD life works. This is how selfish life works.

    So work on your inner self - get rid of the instant gratification stuff, the NOW mindset. Work on being patient, dedicated, following a good eating plan, exercising regularly, and make up your mind to do it for the long term. I PROMISE you - when you reach your goal (which realistically would be more like 15-ish weeks from now) you'll have forgotten all about the prom and will feel good about the life that is ahead of you!

    no, no and once more NO!!! Lets think about this and be realistic: even if you did lose twenty lbs in less than a month, you would look sickly and flabby and just not right. I don't believe anyone will tell you how to lose weight this fast unless they want to contribute to an untimely death. You can lose weight in a decent amount of time the healthy way and even after only five or ten lbs lost, you will start to look amazing just due to the fact that your body will be eating healthy and moving more than it is now. I don't want to discourage you from losing weight but its completely unhealthy with a 98% failure rate and also could be life threatening. Now if you want to talk positive body image, getting that natural healthy glow, making healtier choices in the foods you eat and what foods make you feel and look better, how to make every daily activity into an exercise or how to add more activity into your day and most importantly: how to choose the right style dress and undergarments to enhance what body type and curves you have then I am your girl. just message me. You are on the young side for this site: sparkteens.com I hear has better resources and age appropriate community for you but I know how stressful an important event prom can be: don't stress, drink water and lost of it. take vitamins, get a spray tan or go tanning if you aren't against it, try to burn 300-500 or more calories a day, do toning exercises or at least yoga right away, eat vegies and fruits, stop the pop and juice, don't even bother with diet pills they don't work and cause heart issues or even death!! Make a hair and nail appointment for your prom, every girl feels pretty when those are all did up. Remember, everyone and I mean everyone who is your friend, family and prom date all love you for who you are right now. Don't forget that. Sexiness is 98% confidence. Strut what you got and do this the healthy way for your life not just for one night. :flowerforyou:

    Um, no. How do you logically think you can safely lose 1 Ib a day? Heck, how do you even think you can lose 1Ib a day verbatim?
    Your prom being a happy and successful event, does not depend on your weight or dress size. Just find a killer dress in a size that will fit and aim to lose weight at a slow and healthy pace so that you can maintain for life.

    Honey focus on exercising and eating well so your hair and skin look amazing and you feel good and strong and can dance the night away.

    Get a dress that looks good on you now as your are and in a knock out colour. Do not go with the crowd and try on dresses that look good on your friends. Be your own hot self and make your own stand and own statement.

    I think everyone on here would rather you enjoy your prom and dance like a madgirl rather than go to your prom and get carted away on an ambulance when you pass out from silly crash and burn fad dieting (not to mention the ambulance bill will be waaaaaaay more than your dress).

    So this prom has appeared out of thin air? Is it like a pop up shop? In reality it's not going to happen weightloss is not instant and if you want to lose weight and get healthy you need to do it over a reasonable period of time which a month isn't

    low carb should shift weight really quickly as you get rid of a lot of water, look in to terriann 123, its a diet plan in the UK its not really harsh low carb you can still have two low fat yogurts a day unlimited meats, salad items ect. it does work. the plan cost 12.99 this gives you the book that explains everything and also access to the facebook group page. in the first 10 days (stage 1) you can lose up to 10lb. its not dangerous your not starving yourself if anything you feel fuller more then usual due to all the protien, but you do eat a lot of meat lol

    1 pound per day? Is this a serious question?

    Any starvation diet should do the trick....

    :indifferent:

    Might also kill you tho.. so don't recommend it - instead look into healthy alternatives and lifestyle changes so the weight you lose is permanent and doesn't come raging back +10 when you get hungry and stop 'dieting'...

    Get some Spanx and a dress that fits well. You can't lose this amount of weight at this point.

    Nothing is going to get you to lose weight that fast. Try Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30, eat well, and hope for the best. I'm not trying to be snarky or sarcastic but the only way you'll lose 20lbs in less than a month. without damaging your health metabolism, is if you remove a limb that you're not particularly fond of.

    If he asked you, he already likes you the way you are!

    You can't lose 20lbs that quickly, but here are some tips that may help for some quick results. Eat CLEAN.... fish, chicken, or even a plant-based diet. Make sure you get enough protein though. AVOID white bread, sugar, pasta, and anything processed (canned and pre-packaged food). Concentrate on lean meats and veggies and be active throughout the day. Lots of water. This will yield the best and quickest possible result, in the healthiest way possible.

    Have fun!

    No...............

    Do you exercise now? If you haven't worked out regularly, start now. You can lose INCHES. The scale isn't the only (or even the best) measure of success. Work on some strength training and lose inches in no time.

    Eat close to maintenance but right under. Do 16:8 - IF or 14:10 if you're a female. Lift heavy 3 times a week, and light the other 4 days. Keep your carb intake to 50 grams or less / day. Your main source of carbs should be veggies. Eat a ton of them, lean meats, and dark leafy greens. Have basically no sugar. No BBQ sauce, no ketchup. Hot sauce is okay. Have at most one serving of fruit a day. Try not to have too much though.

    Fat will melt away. It's healthy, but not maintainable long term. It takes serious will power.

    Why do you think losing 20lbs in a month is reasonable? You haven't been able to do it for a long time and now all of a sudden it's SO IMPORTANT? If it was that important, you would have started at the beginning of the year. If you haven't figured out how to control how you eat now, then a month's worth of extreme restriction isn't gonna do anything.
    Buy a dress that fits and is flattering to whatever shape and weight you're at now.

    You're going to be much better served by taking the money you might throw at a fad diet and going to a spa the day before prom. Treat yourself to a mani/pedi or get a facial or a body wrap done. Choose a dress you look killer in and you'll look stunning!

    Until then, start a reasonable diet and exercise plan. You may only lose a few pounds between now and prom but you'll look better and feel stronger because of it.

    I speak from experience when I say that you don't want to go to prom looking and feeling weak after starving yourself.

    No, no, no... it was an offer contingent upon losing 20 pounds before the prom. There's gonna be a pre-prom weigh-in. Like UFC matches.

    I agree with the other part though. Go and have a wonderful time. And dance (I regret not learning how to dance for the social events I went to!). And if you don't know how to dance, start learning right now. Hell, all the practice might help you shed a little weight.

    Before then, you can safely lose about 3-5 pounds. It doesn't sound like a lot, but depending on the dress and how your weight is distributed, it can make a big difference. Drink lots of water and cut down on salt -- the extra water will make your skin and hair look amazing, and cutting down salt can make you look like you've lost weight. Anything extreme is going to make you feel and look miserable, and that will show in your pictures! Instead of spending the next month stressing out, please try to enjoy yourself.
