Re: Quick way to drop pounds?!?!?
working out is obviously the best way.
having breakfast (like cereal and non-fat milk) is a good way to curb your appetite. don't skip meals!!!
have smaller meals more often.
dont eat anything 2 hours before going to bed
work out in the morning if you can (revs your metabolism for the day)
Just exercise and be healthy you don't want to be too skinny before you have a baby!

I drink a protein shake called Isopure by Natures Best which I add fruit to. You can drink it for breakfast and have a healthy lunch & dinner, or drink it for breakfast & lunch and have a healthy dinner. It really helped to curb my appetite, and I definitely toned up quicker. Also, chicken, fish, brown rice, & vege's are my best friends.
It is really good that you want to get in shape prior to getting preggo. That will make your pregnancy a lot more comfortable, and it will be easier for you to lose your post baby weight.

Re: Quick way to drop pounds?!?!?
well since you want to get pregnant soon i would do the natural and healthy way. You dont want to do any crazy quick fixes bc you also want to get real healthy and get your body ready. You dont just have to lose weight to get in good shape before a baby but your health should be good too so dont jeopardize it with anything that is too quick.
Make sure no matter what diet you go on that you are still getting all the nutrients your body needs, and you dont cut anything out from the basic food groups.
Just eat healthy, eat 3 smaller portions a day with 2 snacks. The more times you eat a day the better your metabolism will work. Eat most of your calories for breakfast and lunch, this way you have more time during the day to burn off the calories, at night you are not doing much so if you eat a big dinner then most of the calories you wont be able to burn off. Eat mostly grilled foods, lots of grilled chickend, fish, steamed veggies or even grilled veggies, dont cut out meat too much you need some iron or find other ways to get the iron. Have a snack between lunch and dinner, you will be less hungry later on in the day. Oranges are great bc they fill you up and hold you over. Make sure you are getting alot of protein.
ANd most importantly just work out. Maybe try the 30 day shred program.

ITA- be careful of crash diets and losing too much at once- it tends to screw up your cycle- I would talk to your doctor and mention that you would like to lose some weight before you get pregnant and see if the doctor can design a program for you
