What's the quickest way that you've lost weight in a short space of time? I've heard all these different types of things, and I know they aren't ideal, such as cabbage soup diet etc etc. Just interested to hear what people have tried in the past and how it worked.
Hope to go on hols at the end of August and am feeling fat and frumpy at the moment.

Honestly, I'm afraid it is the old sensible eating and exercise thing. There are more radical ways (like not eating/ drastically reducing the amount you eat) but they are not good for you. And, when I do it properly, I lose just as much weight as I do when I am not being sensible but feel much better for it.

So, eat wholegrains, fruit, veg, very few white starches/ processed food and do some exercise.

Sorry it's not easier

actually i agree with ur!! its simple mathemtaics really! eat less energy/calories than you use in a day and you will lose weight!!

do it my sisters way and unless you develop an eating disorder and intend to eat that way all your life (which will make you v v ill) you will put the weight back on once you start eating again!

i find coffee is good for boosting metabolism and staving off hunger! slimfast hunger shots are a good filling snqck too!

Yes I know you are right. Think I'm trying to find a miracle
I know I must eat healthily - it's sooo hard though. I love my food!
