25+ in 3 months. I stopped eating anything that had calories or fat. Increased my water intake to 2 G a day. I was sick and it showed.
-
I lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks because I was suffering from abdominal pain and was afraid to eat anything until all the tests came back. I was 225 and now am 207.

I once was sick, so I could not eat solid food; if I did I would either puke or poop. I lost a lot of weight, did this help?

In the past i have lost 55 pounds in about 2 1/2 months by diet and exercise. I did the southbeach diet and walked 5 miles at least 4-5 days a week. Was a great way to lose weight after having a baby.

Like levonia, I undertook South Beach diet and lost 35 pounds in about 2 1/2 months. I am a carboholic and acknowledge that I am powerless! Once the 3rd day passed without carbs, it was pretty much a done deal. Easiest diet I ever did, really. For someone who LOVES pasta, rice, and bread (in ANY form!), it seemed daunting at first, but it was easy after the start-up.

53 pounds, from the last week of October, 1997 through February, 1998. I was obsessed with my 1800 calories a day that my Endocrinologist prescribed. I was eating little portions of everything with the exception of sugar, fried stuff, and fast food. I didn't exercise at all. I went from a 38 to a 29, from XL T-Shirts to Medium. I lost too much weight, the doctor raised my diet to 2200. It was tough, but I was very proud and the envy of lots of people everywhere. It is a great feeling!

I lost half a stone in about 3 weeks. But not in a good way. I went into a depressive state and didnt eat. I would eat about an apple a day and that would be it. So i basically crash dieted. It didnt do me any good in the long run. I became weak and was nearly put in hospital. And now that im eating healthy again, all the weight has come back!

Do this to lose some weight as it worked for me. Drink at the 8 glasses a day minimum, Walk 3-5mi Should take 1hr about. Don't snack. Eat more fruit(watch what type some have more sugar then others) and vegetables. Grains some and very small dairy/Meat.

I lost almost 20 lbs in less than 2 weeks due to stress and depression. I do not recommend it, as it caused all kinds of other health related problems as well to lose that much that fast.
-
I once lost 280 lbs of useless fat in 5 months. 200 lbs was the ex wife, the other 80 from the depression. Of course, this is an extremely miserable way to lose weight and as you can see from answers above, I recommend staying fat and sassy over this method.

When my dads died i lost just over a stone in one week, i couldnt eat and it wasnt intentional, if i'm unsettled or upset i just cant stomach anything, my sister also lost 4 stone in 2 weeks due to panic attacks.

So far this year I have lost 23 lbs, simply by moving to Belgium. I no longer go to fast food restaurants for breakfast every morning... I no longer eat from the vending machine at work when bored... and being in Europe means WALKING EVERYWHERE in town. LOL. Plus the food here, from what I have seen, is healthier. There aren't as many chemicals and preservatives as there are in the popular processed foods of the states. I still don't eat completely healthy. I'll have fries with dinner a night or two a week and I eat more potatoes than any other veggie (granted now they are boiled a lot), and I still drink diet soda and alcohol. But all in all, the lifestyle here is waaaaaaaaaaaaay healthier than what I was living in the states. Obviously, everyone can't move to Europe to lose weight but maybe some of these tips will help you if you are in the process of losing weight. Main tips to remember are: walk more than ever, cut out boredom snacking, eat at home more, and try to eat whole foods instead of processed foods.

I lost almost 70 lbs. in one month when I was on an experimental diet under a doctor's care. In total I lost about 90 lbs. It was awful. My hair started falling out by the handfuls. And I never learned how to deal with the food. Much of it came galloping back, even eating small amounts. It was like my fat cells were just waiting for the food to come to them. I ruined my metabolism for good:-(

53 pounds, weight watchers, approx 8 months. Just cutting out soft drinks helped me drop a bunch, quickly. Still do not drink them to this day, except diet and not many of those because of the aspartame effects.

You can lose an incredible amount of weight quickly by riding a road bike; you are using your largest muscles and no shock to your body (like running) I have lost 5 lbs in a weekend of 30 miles a day. And it isn't dull like in the gym. But you have to buy a good road bike, spend at least $800. I have had mine for 25 years!
-
40 pounds in a week - I had a stomache virus for a full week - one week of not being able to eat ANYTHING. Not that I didn't try, but everything I ate came back up within about 5 minutes - that's how long it was between episodes for the entire week.

I would say around mid June of 2003, I started a diet of only fish & poultry, fruits & veggies, NO fat, NO sugar and drinking ONLY water. I also began using Hydroxycuts. For excercise, on Mon-Fri I unloading trucks of furniture for my job and two nights a week I would jog a 3.3 mile lake. About a month later I had moved into an apartment of my own, which helped, because I was no longer tempted by the Little Debbie's my mother would have in stock. At that point I had dropped from around 260lbs to 230lbs. In September, I had changed from a day shift job to a night shift. By then, I had discontinued the Hydroxycuts and was unable to continue my regimen. In spite of no excercise and no dietary supplements, drinking only water and beer, smoking a pack of cigarettes a week and occassionally marijuana. The pounds continued to melt away. I eventually dropped to my lowest of 190lbs. Maintaining a fluctuating balance around 200lbs only until losing my job in July of 2008, where depression would bring my weight back to 270lbs as of today. Wish me luck, as I jump back on this "Hydroxy" horse.

I've lost between 20 and 25 lbs in the past two months. Unfortunately, the only advice I have to give is the classic. Eat less calories, burn more calories. I do at least an hour of cardio 5x a week, plus strength training 3x a week. I also eat between 500 and 700 calories a day- i know people are going to say that thats unhealthy, but I've heard several dietitians say its ok if you do it smart. I eat a serving of *very* lean protein (tuna canned in water is my fav) and then lots and lots of raw fruits and veggies. Every once in a while I'll put a bit of olive oil on a salad because the body does need *some* fat. I started out at 160, i'm now hovering around 135.
