text: how do i shed 30 pounds.. fast ? i've gained about 25 pounds in the last three months. i've been under stress so now i gain wait. before it was the opposite. when i was under stress i avoided eating. i was down to 118 pounds. not even my regular weight. my regular weight is 125 pounds. im 154. im getting really depressed looking at myself in the mirror. nothing fits. how do i do it ? should i look at diet pills ? diet pills are not the answer. eliminate soda first of all. my mom lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks. just eat healthy food. dancing is a good exercise, so maybe find some dance exercise videos or put on some good music and go nuts. don't be depressed, it will make it worse. just be happy that you are alive and it will be a beautiful day.
