Yogurt is full of nutrients and also really light. If you don't like it you can layer it with fruit and granola to make a parfait-like thing or you can buy the type with m&ms or something to sprinkle on top. I suggest you make smoothies and eat something like pretzels for other snacks. Whatever you do, just stay away from junk. Also, start doing some sort of excersize. Not only will you lose weight, but you'll get a more-toned body.

Okay I REALLY wanted to lose weight as well!
The thing is I didnt think I could lose 6-7 pounds in a week!
Here is what I did.
.No soda AT ALL!!! Water that was it!
.No Junk Food..you get the point :)
.I ran! Just run around your neighborhood. Also i found a hill and ran up and down back and forth!
.Just workout at home! Put on some music and DANCE!
.I can't think of any good snakcs, but I DO know that sandwiches are really good for you. Try not to put alot of mayonaise
Tell me how it goes!!! Good Luck and just keep with it<3

watch your calories the average person should have LESS then 1000 calories a day and you could work out at the gym and for foods you should eat good carbs not bread but fruit, potatoes, vegetables, and a light salad with a smidge of dressing
hope i helped

That is very possible. You have to stick to it! Most people dont loose weight because they cheat during them. You have to cut back on sugar,chocolte,any junk food what so ever! No fried,baked things with lots of oil and greese! I think you get the point. Go online and find some healthy diet recepies. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) There are exersises && foods that you can eat. Exersise 2 or 3 times a day. Do about 300 situps. I know it seems like woah.. but do 150 during the day and another 150 at night. If you do that for about 2 weeks its not even that much! You might get a little sore but at the end it will be well worth it! Run up the stairs 10 times in a row. That will work your thighs. Just stick to it! Drink water. Try to drink 8 glasses a day! If you cant do 8 then drink 6 at least. Its really healthy for you.

swimming really helps alot. its fun and you can lose alot of weight fast. also for me it doesnt make me eat as much. take some vegies and stuff with you and go swim!

To lose that amount of weight. First you need to cut back, or even quit drinking soda. Drink as much water as you can. Try crunches and pushups every day, and maintain the exercise. Swimming & running & jogging are also great tips for losing weight. Some quick snacks you could do, would be fruit & veggies.. thats the way to go! =] Good luck. Take Care!
