How can I lose 20 pounds (lbs). in 10-20 weeks and stay that way for as long as possible?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I burn 300 calories (1 hour of DDR Supernova Workout Mode) per day and I eat pretty healthily. I drink two bottles of water. I am 5′7″ and I’m 168 pounds now, and I want to be between 145 and 150 pounds before the summer. Is this a possible goal? Is there anything else I should do to help myself lose this weight? (I’m 13 by the way). Should I wait until summer so I can impress all of my peers when I go back to school in Sept. 2007? (Plus, I swim for about 2 hours every other day in the summer). Just wondering all of this. Give any advice you have please, and if you have had personal experience with weight loss, please tell me what worked best for you!

My wife is trying to lose 10-20 pounds, but can’t seem to lose an ounce. Any ideas?

She is 5′-6″ and weighs 160 pounds, eats about 1500 calories a day, works out with a personal trainer 3 days a week, drinks over 64 ounces of water a day, and still nothing.
Her doctor has tested her for any medical reason (thyroid and other stuff), she has even seen a cardiologist to look closer, but still nothing.

She tried the no carb thing, was sick for 2 weeks and no weight loss. She did weight watchers for 6 months, (she eats less than they say, by a lot) and nothing. She did the nutra system program for 5 weeks, and nothing. She’s tried over the counter and was even perscribed pills, nothing seems to work. The only thing that has ever helped her has since been pulled off of the marked a few years ago (ephedera, it helped her get from 180-160).

Does anyone know anything that can help her?
I tried to see if she was cheating, and she isn’t (I even have a spy at her work).

She does work out another 2-3 days a week on top of the time with her personal trainer, mostly just cardio.
