I am head off to a two week trip with my dh on the 19th and I would like some ideas for a short term quicker weight loss between now and them (actually less than three weeks, but oh well). My weight loss has been moderately slow last week and this - maybe two pounds a week. I eat around 1600 to 1700,somewhat lower carb than I used to (around 166), and I exercise from one hour to two hours a day (either both cardio, or one weights). Its not like I am close to goal, I am at least 75 pounds from goal, so there should be something that could get it going faster.

Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Two pounds a week is an excellent weight loss. I doubt if you can do better than that. I don't want to throw cold water on your plans but 1/1/2 to 2 pounds a week is about the average. To do more than that would involve some risky dieting .

Thanks bargoo, I guess you are right. One of my friends told me today that she is doing Medifast and she would have about a five pound loss per week for a couple weeks. Probably wouldn't hurt for a short time. However, she also said that she was not supposed to work out for a few weeks while on it. I don't know much about it, but doesn't sound fun!
