Ditch 5 Pounds Without Trying part 2

Get it on

“This might be TMI, but I lost 5 pounds by having sex with my hubby four times in one week. I’m not talking quickies either; each session was about an hour long. Best workouts ever.”

—Tracy Reid, 37, Houston

Downsize the dairy

“I recently lost 7 pounds in three weeks by ditching most dairy from my diet. Of course, I couldn’t totally give up cheese, so I just limit it to weekends or special occasions. No more late-night grilled cheeses for me!”

—Michelle Buffardi, 31, New York City

Go (a bit) vegan

“I started eating one veggies-only meal each day, and after three weeks, I noticed that my clothes fit better.”

—Candice Townsend, 39, Washington, D.C.

Grab a mini

"When I'm in the mood for a little fast-food 'cheat,' I order the kids meal, saving myself around 570 calories. The portions are reasonable, and the sides are healthier."

—Laura Schmieg, 38, St. Louis Park, Minn.

Take a stand

?When I want to lose an inch around my waist fast, I stay on my feet. I walk home from work, stand up while watching TV, and go for a stroll at lunch.?

—Naomi Fink, 29, New York City
