Hi Shelby...welcome!
I'm not really sure what to tell you. The key to losing weight is pretty simple...diet and exercise. It's about 80% diet and 20% exercise. There's no point killing yourself in the gym if you're not going to change your eating habits. When it comes to diet, you need to figure out what your particular food issues are and find the plan that works best for your needs. Some people love calorie counting, some swear by Weight Watchers, I'm a low-carb advocate.
If you want to calorie count, you might want to set up an account at SparkPeople or MyFitnessPal and enter your information and they'll give you guidelines for how many calories you should be eating every day for your current weight.
I'm not an advocate of weight loss fads so I can't speak to what a sauna suit is going to do for you but you need to eat. You're not doing yourself any favors by starving yourself for 3 days. That's not healthy and you're doing more harm than good. If you can't stop thinking about food, snack on some fruit or vegetables or eat a big salad. Big salads are my secret weapon. I eat 16oz of salad with my dinner every night and it fills me up. The last thing I'm thinking about after I eat all of that salad is food.
They say it's healthy to lose 1-2 pounds per week if you're being careful about your calories so it's possible that you could lose 10 pounds in about 5 weeks or so.
If I were you, I would choose a plan and make a commitment to stick to that plan for 5 weeks and see where you are.
Good luck!
