Lose pounds and inches
What is a good way to lose 10-15 pounds quickly?
I'm 5' 8", 14, and I weigh 130 pounds. My dance coach told me that I need to lose about 10 pounds before my next competition, which is in 2 weeks. How can I lose weight quickly? My friend said that she stopped drinking pop and lost 6 pounds in 1 week. Any other ideas?

- um...your dance coach must not know a lot about healthy weight. 130 is NOT a bad weight for 5'8" at all (actually I'm two inches taller and rather jealous) also...they really have no business to be telling you you need to lose weight when you're still a growing and devoloping young lady. I can understand that a certain weight may be desirable based on the type of dance you are involved with but telling you you need to lose weight is NOT acceptable.
- A major punch in the nose to your dance coach! How horribly irresponsible! You are underweight for your height. Are you willing to risk your health for the rest of your life for this dance coach? Good Lord. This is obscene. A dance competition is about how you DANCE, how you move, not about being anorexic. Your coach needs to get a life. What you do to your body now will haunt you forever. Long after your dancing competitions are gone, you will get to deal with things like broken bones from osteoporosis because you did not feed yourself. And you are already thin. Ignore the lunatic and take care of yourself.
- I'm sure you've heard this before, but losing any more than 1-2 lbs per week is very unhealthy. It is true that you can lose lbs by doing a cleanse (which is what has already been suggested), but cleaning out your "pipes" isn't going to get rid of body fat. Is that what your coach meant? What exactly did she mean when she advised you lose weight? I'm on day 3 of a 7-day cleanse right now and have yet to see any results. Cutting out pop and fast food will definitely benefit you but just be careful with supplements. I tried a supplement called Rapid Cuts that worked great for the first 2 weeks but then made me really sick. Good luck and be safe with whatever you choose! :)
