Yes it's possible! After college I needed to lose the ten pounds that I had gained over its course (I certainly deserved it after partying 5 nights a week and eating whatever I wanted all the time!) so I went on Weight Watchers!
Being in the "real world" and working I didn't have time to go to the gym so I started substituting certain foods and eating tiny "snacks" throughout the day instead of three big meals.
Buy smaller plates and bowls...trust me on this! In the morning I mix FiberOne cereal (the original, not the sugary versions that are out now) with a dash of oatmeal and some chopped strawberries with some organic skim milk. It's delicious and the bowl is so small but afterwards, I always feel surprisingly full!
Lunch...try HALF a small turkey sandwich, or make a wrap substituting a large lettuce leaf for the bread. I personally am a carb fan so I love getting a fresh loaf of bread from the grocery (Walmart has great fresh bread!) The loafs are smaller so when you slice them for a sandwich it's automatically smaller but tastes so good you forget you only have half!
Invest in 100 calorie packs for dessert! I always crave chocolate, and 100 calorie packs are awesome (Keebler makes great mini fudge stripe cookies) and paired with a large glass of skim milk it's a great dessert
Eat slowly to trick your stomach into feeling full...I'm a talker so when my husband and I eat dinner it's pretty easy to find dinner taking an hour or longer to finish!
Exercise always helps, but sometimes after a hard workout I feel more hungry and since I "was good and worked out" I sometimes would feel that I deserved a big dessert!
Good luck!
***To answer your question, I lost an average of 1 -2 lbs. a week...without working out, and just eating right! Of course, the more weight you have to lose, the more pounds you can take off per week. When I got back to 120 lbs, I followed the maintenance program through weight watchers to keep it off! It ended up taking about 8 weeks.
Hope that helps!
