Hey my school formal is coming up in 4 and a half weeks and i NEED to lose weight fast - 5" off waist?? (before anyone asks i'm eighteen-upper sixth). Anyone got any tips?? I know its not healthy to lose weight fast but its just short term. I want to go on a more sustainable diet after. But for now..............

    There is no way you are going to loes 5" off your waist in 4 weeks even if you don't eat a single thing between now and then. It's just not realistic.

    When I was losing 2-3 lb. a week, I was losing about 2 inches off my waist, hips, chest every month.
  • No you can't but you can temporary lose one size and have a lean look specially your face (water loss) by doing low carb.. no starch, drink lots of water

    Why 5 inches? Why not start with proper lifesyle change now?

    I recommend a Spanx (or similar) undergarment. It won't take off 5 inches, but will keep what you have under control and make your dress look better!
