Need to loose 6 pounds in 2 weeks! help!

I would throw some weight training into your exercising. What kind of exercise are you doing right now? If you're running, try running a little bit faster or a little bit longer.

Also, I would cut out all sugar and 'white carbs' meaning white bread, white rice, etc

so much is water weight for me.

Try dieuretics, tons of water, and then running in the heat-you will sweat out three of those pounds in 3 days. Not the healthiest, I know, but it's great in an emergency.

For the next two weeks, I would recommend the 'Atkins' Diet. It is just an easy way to take the weight off fast, just as long as you stick to the plan. I did atkins and lost 30 lbs in 10 weeks, but it came back on. I think of this diet choice as a quick fix, for when you are going on a vacation or need to fit into a dress. Good luck !

Thanks all for the advice! I am a little annoyed bc my gym has the weight room closed for renovations!! Do they not understand I need my weights!

Jenny is right. It is so amazing how much of a difference weight training makes. I am a big, big, big advocate of Body For Life, it really worked for me. The plan is 6 small meals a day each containing a portion of protein and a portion of quality carbs (brown bread, brown rice, potato, pasta, etc). For exercise, you do 20 minutes cardio every other day and alternate with weight training - one day it's your upper body, the next time you do weights, it's your lower body. You do all of this for 6 days and on the 7th you rest. Don't exercise and eat ANYTHING you want. Theory is that your body will think it's starving (even though you get to eat plenty in my opinion) and you don't want it to go into starving mode because it will hold onto any fat and calories that you put into your body and it's a mental release as well.

This is the short version, you should really read the book. I'm not sure it's the 6 pounds in 2 weeks solution you're looking for, but it really is an amazing diet/exercise plan.

BTW: Low fat Cottage cheese and tuna are EXCELLENT sources of low fat protein.

I agree with Jenny2Penny that you're not eating enough calories. If you're working out 4-5 times a week, 1000 calories is not enough. Your body is going to hold onto the fat that it has to protect itself. You need to eat more. I work out 4-5 times a week and do heavy weight training and I eat around 1700 calories a day (but I'm not trying to lose weight). I eat as much protein as possible, a little complex carbs, and of course fruits and vegetables.

Diet is very important! So is weight training - it boosts your metabolism. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest.
