I need to lose weight and fast. I am a bridesmaid in 6 weeks time, the dress was bought last year, I've gained weight and now it doesn't fit. How can I lose as mush weight as possable in such a short time. I'm desperate.

Eat less exercise more.

But that wont guarentee me to lose the weight I need to (Ive been eating less and excerising more for years and my body hardly loses weight!!!) But I can gain it just by looking at food.
6 weeks .....forget dieting.....you can only resort now to appetite suppressants...e.g Reductil or Apisate, which have side effects.

Your decision.
If it's for a short time for something like this I think those body wrap things can "lose" you an inch or two for a short time.

If you do the normal diet thing and are still just that bit too large you could always go for that - you won't lose weight from it but it'll last long enough for the big day
short term the high protein low carb diets work, fastest I would suggest the /rose /elliott vegetarian one as a start just add meat and fish to the vege meals if you don't like tofu etc
the simplest and most guarunteed way is to get the dress altered
boot camp
Eat nothing but eggs and if you must have tea or coffee... skip the milk.
whatever you are doing to gain weight, just stop doing it, whether that be cutting out boozing, stop eating sweets/chocolate, stop eating takeaways. do more moving about
happened to me...weddings in 3 weeks...i had to get dress let out!! eek!! but i honestly hit the gym, body balance one a week isnt strenuous its just stretches and tones....gym when i could...cardio workouts...and i am a BIG snacker so i changed to snack a jacks, brown bread and snacked on lower cal things like kitkats and wee pink panther wafers...instead of calling a chinese i made a quick toastie at night and i swictched to lower cal crisps such as squares and drink water and even the one milk has one cal..... it just isnt realisic for me to not eat rubbish. i also grill things..george foreman grill!! best of luck i really really feel your pain!!! i was mortified when dress didnt fit....and even for hen night i wanted to look good as i felt as chief people would be looking at me hahah!!! wedding soon ill need to stick hard to gym!!!! xx
try to stay positive i posted before about extreme diet pills and they may work...but i didnt feel so good on the one i took...and neither did friends xxx
are you the girl in the front or the girl at the back on you avatar pic??
How much weight do you need to lose, how small is the dress now? one size? two sizes?
emergency liposuction...
Wednesday, I was speaking to my neighbour 3 weeks ago and I seen her yesterday and I got a shock at how much weight she has lost. I asked her what she was doing cause she looked great, she said she stopped eating white bread, biscuits etc and ate much more fruit and veg and done more exercise. She looked brilliant.
Use the lack of foresight as a lesson to be learnt.

Do what you can in the gym or elsewhere to increase output. Do cut out snacks but continue to eat sensibly to minimise input. And yes those clingfilm type wraps do work, temporarily. Probably just water, but if it gets you the extra half inch for the day, probably worth it.

Or you could let the dress out.
Watercress soup is good and quite tasty too, should not be done for more than a few days though! Swimming is good for toning.

Cut down carbs big time, move more, walk as much as possible in your daily routine, take the stairs, not the lift etc... and do some decent cardio exercise to get your heartrate up for long enough to burn off the calories and susequently fat.
I'd get the dress altered, those Alli etc make you poo an awful lot, I'd rather be a larger bridesmaid than a sick one.
no mercy....eating only eggs....does it work...or are you joking? does it matter if eggs are scrambled // poached / boiled whatever? Cruioous...cos I love eggs so much and that would be the (short term obviosuly) diet for me..
The egg diet does work evedawn. You are only advised to do it for 2 weeks at a time though as it is so strict. You are not allowed any dairy products mixed with the egg... so scrambled eggs without milk or butter, you can have them cooked any way you like though.

You can eat other stuff as well but it has to be carbohydrate free.
