Well I wont feel right without saying this, but you are so cute! I think you look great! The only thing I think is to do cardio. Run outside and get rid of the junk food (if you eat it!) including any kind of pop. You really should wait for other replies! Sorry. I know you didn't want to hear that , but you do look like you don't need to drop weight.
omgosh!!...I thought people where actually supposed to help!!...nobody is really helping me!!
I wanna do this for myslef, to look better in my clothes and everything else!!

1) It is not healthy to drop a pant size in a week. Anything or anyone that tells you it is, is flat wrong.
2) You are obviously young and won't want to hear this...but you look great already.
3) If you really want to get fit and do it right refer here:
4) Do some research. You apparently found this awesome forum jampacked full of great information and advice. Don't get angry when we don't all jump in and reitterate for you immediately, many people have families and jobs and only get on these forums during certain times of the day.

No one should drop a pants size in a week. Unless maybe they are severely obese and just beginning a supervised diet regimen, or are post weight-loss surgery. It is completely unhealthy. Your body isn't meant to do such a thing. If you could lose such weight in that amount of time, I don't imagine it'd be fat loss.
Please don't take our replies as angry or bitter. We just prefer to promote healthy methods and lifestyles. It is 'body' 'building' dot com, and this means treating your body well (since you only get one in life) and using approaches that aren't dangerous or severely damaging to your immune system. It means, to me at least, to 'build' your 'body' to last a long time and to be proud of how you accomplish that.
If you think you need to lose that pants size, we cannot change your mind, but I would think the majority would hope you do it wisely. There is a plethera of information right here at your fingertips on how to achieve that.
1 size is about 6-8 pounds, and you cannot afford that judging from you pictures.
Whatever nature gave me, Thank you, The rest I'll make myself :)

It's not that people don't want to help you. It's that we see you in a different perspective than you see yourself. Many of us are older and have made mistakes dieting and believe me, it catches up with you later.
First, you look great but I understand that we are our worst critics. If you want to lose weight...you have to do it the right way and that means it can't be done in a week. I've made the same mistakes back when I was in high school....long story short, ended up in the hospital by the time I was 16 from crash dieting and ended up having surgery as well as being on observation for 2 weeks because there were so many things wrong with me.
I didn't learn my lesson until I was in my twenties. I would highly recommend reading this book :
I got this book for my teenage daughter and I have read it. It gives you a diet plan and a workout that you can do from home. It's even a good book for adults but is written with the teenager in mind.
It doesn't get more honest than this forum! I tried to give you something, I don't know if you would have been happier if someone gave you diet pills to try??? Or some weird drink? I believe you should do it the healty way, which is why I said cardio. It takes hard work and dedication and it doesn't come
easy.

Bump.
I'm the rude blunt bug of this forum; so I'll be um... rude and blunt: none of us will help you get anorexia, no one wants such a responsibility, either... Also, we are ont SUPPOSED to help, we CHOOSE to.
Because I CHOOSE to, I suggest you get into proper exercise / dieting by first reading the newbie threads of this forum and some articles on bb.com. And then decide what's that you're supposed to do. We all do this for ourselves, hun, I just don't think dropping a pants size in a WEEK is either a healthy, or a reasonable goal.

if you lost a pant size within a week you will probably go out and buy new pants and look good in them for about 4 days. You will almost indefinitely gain all the weight back since rapid, unhealthy weight loss tends to have that effect. You can go back and forth with this forever, or you can listen to some veterans here who know what they're talking about.
The best you can do right now is accept the fact that you look great and have a nice figure. Do some resistance training (squats, lunges, deadlifts) to get some shape into your legs - which is what I suspect you really want. Like everyone else here has said, clean up your diet and do some cardio (20-30 min 3xweek). There's more cardio options than just running - bike, elliptical, heavy bag (my choice).
Remember, no one here got a great bod within a week. But there's a lot of people on this board who are willing to help others achieve their goals. You just have to have the right attitude if you want to achieve results.
good luck.
thanks everyone!!..I really do, I have to admit, when I first read your posts, I was kind of angry, and taking it the wrong way, but as I read them, I just saw that you care enough to tell me the right thing to do...which I appreciate that....I havent gone on a diet and I have actually been eating ALOT, I gained a few lbs actually!!...I was like omgosh, so Im gunna go on a HEALTHY diet, and read other posts, and get information from there to...but like I said, thanks again...ooo but starting today ,I want to lose a pants size within two weeks, so Im gunna do that the healthy way, and eat right, and exercise alot
although I do have a question, if someone was to stop eating and exercise for a few days, (you know there are gunna lose a few lbs) would that be ok???...just to do that for a few days, and then go on with a healhty diet??...and if thats not ok, why not?

Absolutely NOT ok. It's one of the dumbest things you can do to your body, if not THE dumbest.

I am sure someone else will come along with a lot better explanation and way more wisdom/knowledge to impart, but the short answer is this:
it is NOT okay because your body uses the calories in the food you eat as energy. you won't be able to get a decent workout in if you have no energy because you decided not to eat. you'll just be tired and irritable or dizzy and faint, and you might get sick. plus, if you stop eating for a certain period of time, your body kicks into starvation mode and holds on to everything you eat. that means when you start eating again, your body will hold on to everything and store it as fat, rather than burning it for energy like it's supposed to. at least, that's how I understand it.

don't do it.
That's a pretty accurate post.
You will seriously overtrain if you attempt to 'exercise a lot' and not eat for a couple of days. That is a very unhealthy thing to do to your body and will severely compromise your immune system, opening the doors for sickness.
If you really want to change your body shape the healthy way and with long term results, listen to the advice above and incorporate the following -
* Eat several small and healthy meals per day about two to three hours apart. Fresh, unprocessed food is best. Lean meat, chicken and fish, veggies and salads. Prepare meals beforehand and put them in plastic containers.
* Packaged foods with 'low fat' or '99 percent fat free' are often a marketing ploy. They are typically quite high in sugar to retain the taste from cutting the fat out. The irony is they are more likely to restrict fat loss rather than help you.
* Drink plenty of water every day. Sip consistently rather than drinking large glasses irregularly. This will help flush toxins out of your body and will help everything from your mood to the appearance of your skin.
* Workout sensibly. An hour per day four days a week consisting of resistance training and cardio will suit your goals. Do the resistance training first and finish with cardio.
* Get plenty of sleep. This is when your body repairs and recovers and is essential.
Some of these things can take some getting used to. Don't give up. Success is a journey made up of little failures that teach you how to get to your goal.

VERY well put....
and i definitely second the thought about getting proper sleep......
I would only like to say, Why would you whant to change?????? There is nothing even close to bad about the way you look, you look absolutly amazing.WOW
ok thanks people for the advice
yes I am young, I do have to admit that, and I just dont feel that I look the way I want myself to look, thats why I wanna lose the weight
but I get what you are trying to say, and I will lose weight the healthy way, I looked at all the forums and everything else, thank you very much everyone!!
listen i know what it is like to get caught up with working out, weight loss, and the mirror as I was once very over weight as a child. However you look absolutly amazing, and the thouhg of you loosing any more weight would not only hinder your personal appeal to others but also be border line unhealthy. Sometimes you have to froget your own feelings and take an outside perspective of what is appropiate. No one in here will tell you that you need to loose weight, and coming form a bunch of people who are overly critical I would say that, that is pretty damn good.

Well from a bb pow she needs a LOT. MORE. MUSCLE. Then again so do I... But it seems as if she's not into bb-ing but guy-attracting, you're probably right - after all, you're a guy...

I must agree with you here TF. After all this is a bodybuilding forum, not a Jenny Craig forum.
