Lose 50 Pounds FAQ:
I am a 16 year old female, I am about 5′5″ and I weigh in at about 170 pounds. I think that I need to lose about 50 pounds to have the fitness look that I want. I want to do this a healthy way without skipping meals, eating right and exercising regularly. Seeing that I’m young, how long should it take?

4 months!!!
I have been exercising and eating right since December 13, 2007.
In the 3 month span from May 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008, I have lost 50 pounds.
I have eaten balanced meals everyday, and exercised most everyday during that time frame. 25 pounds in May, 13 pounds in June and 12 in July.
I’m not saying you will realize results like that, but it is possible. I do cardio 4x a week and alternate weight circuit training 3x a week. 4 1/2 miles of marching on an indoor track everyday, and steam, sauna and whilpool everyday as well.
The most important thing is that I have eaten balanced meals everyday and haven’t starved myself once. I also take vitamin suppliments B, C, E and an amino acid tablet daily.
that should take about 5 months, doing it in a healthy way.
about 10 pounds per month.
I weighed 330 pounds and lost 100 pounds in 16 months doing it in a healthy way. I still have 40 more pounds to go and I figure it to take 6 months.
Staying away from fad diets. You should change your lifestyle with how you eat and exercise. The weight will come off naturally and you should be able to lose that weight in 6 to 8 months.
If it comes off too quickly, skin starts to sag and it’s not pretty. Take your time in losing it and stay with your healthy lifestyle. If you don’t keep with it, those pounds will come back and bring plenty of friends.
