    Not sure that my experience will help you, but I can generally lose between 4 and 5 pounds in one week if I stay focused and disciplined.
    The first week of a weight loss plan can be the toughest or the easiest depending on the choices that you make and how your body adjusts to a new routine. The key is keeping it off so the clothes still fit. :>))
    In my experience, if I add a lot of cardio (run, bike, swim, breathe hard and sweat lots) and focus on eating 1200 calories per day (mainly lean meat, vegetables, egg whites, and low fat cottage cheese) success is attainable.

    I wish you the success!! Believe in yourself and your goals.

    Before you try anything, it's important that you are aware of the research and scientific evidence..... Look up Michael Mosley documentaries online. You can watch them for free: 10 things you should know about dieting, fasting, exercise. Then try some of his tips if you want.

    There is no quick way. Suck it up and get a bigger size.

    as others have said....there is no quick way....but this scenario should be motivation enough to get at a healthy weight (assuming you need to lose weight to begin with)

    Amputation. It's your only chance.

    You didn't say how much you have to lose and how fast. We talking 1-2lbs here, or are we talking 42lbs.

    Although the previous post is right "you didn't gain it in a week, you won't lose it in a week", there are some things you can do to feel lighter and look less bloated. Reduce your sugars, reduce your sodium (salt), eat lots of fresh veggies and drinks lots of water! Cutting out processed foods and eating lean meats and fresh produce will take care of this for you.

    Depends how much you need to lose.
    Just to button it.. but its tight.. maybe

    Lots of water... watch all your salt..
    people have been known to lose 5-10 lbs water weight on their first week
    but if you start eating like a pig again.. that will come back..

    Stay focused..
    water water water..
    if you can run. run at night..

    Good Luck!

    Get a bigger sized uniform for now, and focus on the long term. Change your lifestyle, if you crash diet, you will only gain it all again.
