So on Valentine's Day, my boyfriend is coming home from the airforce and he has a huge Valentines Day celebration planned and I want to drop some weight before he arrives home. I'm currently 150 at 5'6. Any tips?

You can't - at least not in a healthy way. Aim to lose 1 - 2 lbs a week. Figure out how many calories you need to maintain based on your activity level (using either MFP or any other website) and subtract 500 - 1000 calories a day from that.0

That is a lot of weight in 2 weeks. I would have recommended starting earlier, but that ship has sailed. Don't starve yourself, eat at a modest deficit and you could be down 10 lbs in about 10 weeks.0

you could drop water weight
but it won't make that much difference apart from to the scale - unless you plan on stepping on the scale in front of him of course, in which case there's nowt so strange as folk
Best to just start doing it sensibly ... you'll drop water weight anyway at the start and lift heavy

As everyone else has said, there's no healthy way to lose that much that fast. Exercise, use the site to figure out how many calories you need to consume to eat at a deficit, and you could lost maybe 3 pounds in that time with some of that being water weight.0

I'm in the exact same situation as you. I'm flying out to see my marine boyfriend for Valentine's day. Trust me, your boyfriend will be so happy to see you he won't even notice if you are 10 pounds heavier or lighter. And when you come home, change your habits to drop those 10 pounds in a healthy way so they'll stay off.0

You could lose water weight doing something like cutting out carbs, but it won't make you look any different. You'll just be able to tell your boyfriend that you lost 10 pounds.
And...FWIW, if he's coming back from a deployment or basic training, he's going to rip your clothes off no matter what you look like.0 -
I have to agree, to much weight to lose for someone at 150 lbs. If you weighed 350 I would say go for it.0

Probably should have thought about this at Xmas time. Ain't happening unless you dehydrate your body completely or cut off a limb.
Trust that you're NOT going to lose 10lbs of FAT in 2 weeks. You might lose some water, but that rarely does a lot for appearance if one is overweight to begin with.

Not gonna happen, sorry. I'm your same weight and height and it took me 6 months to lose 10 pounds.0

He is going to be so happy to see you that a few pounds either way will not matter. Love doesn't judge. Feel good and enjoy your Valentines Day Celebration!0
