lose weight quick!

Do cardio 3 times per week, start off by doing 30 – 45 minutes the first day, then add about 5 minutes every training day. That should do the trick. -------------- Be patient, persistent and strong and you will succeed.

But I would rather recommend weight training along with cardio to get a better look. Might not lose pounds, seeing that muscle weighs more than fat, but at the same time you will tone up the fat you are losing. Good luck! -------------- Bettia....

It took time to put on weight now to get rid of it will take time as well. Of course you can loose up to 10 lbs in one week but that will just be water and muscle.... Anyway, you got three weeks and if you stay serious you'll be able to do some wonders. You weight train? -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
