How many inches can I lose in 2 weeks?

I wouldn't normally ask something like this as I know weight loss shouldn't be rushed but I'm desperate. I've got to go to an event (well, I don't have to, but I would like to and don't want to let anyone down). To participate I'd need to lose approx 5 inches around my widest part/my stomach. I'm planning on doing a liquid diet for the next 15 days and hoping by some miracle I'll be able to lose that much. (I'm 18 stone so I reckon I'll lose quite a bit of water weight seeing as I'm doing something dramatic and really hoping this will make me smaller Confused). Is this even possible?

The weight loss body wraps work quite well as a temp fix, but not sure how much you can expect though.

I could see you losing 5 inches over all but not off your waist..maybe 2 at the most. Is this to fit into something you want to wear? Don't bother..just buy something new as 15 days on liquids only is just too hard to sustain. Drinking dandelion drops from health food shop in water does reduce water retention but be warned you will be running to the bathroom constantly.

5" is about 2 dresses sizes and as a rough guide 1 dress is a stone weight loss (depends how tall you are and where you carry your weight) but it seems unrealistically ambitious to me.

Try Lucy Wyndham-Read's workouts available on YouTube. She has a 7 day drop a dress size challenge which I was sceptical about but the comments on YouTube were all positive and I lost 2 inches from my waist that week combined with healthy eating. She has hundreds of videos and the dress 7 day work out was a 7 minute video.
