yes but the diet would be strict
yeah, make yourself throw up
yeah that would be good. it would be 10 pounds a month.
By the end of May, it is possible to healthily loose 16-32 pounds.
You should only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. We have 4 months until June, so you should lose about 30 pounds by then. You can lose weight faster if you are stricter, but when weight comes off quickly it tends to come back on even faster.
yes. regular exercise and the right diet should do it
You should only loose 2lbs max a week if you want to be healthy and keep it off. That said thats…. 8lbs a month so you could loose 40lbs by Start of july. Good luck!
Hi Miss L, is it realist to lose 50 lbs? That really depends on how realistic you want to be. I have lost 50 lbs in even a shorter time than you mention (I am also a relatively young man, though, which is in my favor when it comes to losing weight). I have tried many products, diets etc, and my great big secret was going to a weight loss camp. I really recommend you check a place out that best fits for you. don’t let all these acai posers sell you on some bs, just like hoodia, just like slimspa, just like metabolife, just like xenadrine, etc etc etc…I mean come on, see a pattern? The key is to eat less and exercise more, we all know this, but it’s hard to look at it straight it in the face, because it sounds so much easier than it really is. The key is, though, to eat less and exercise more. It becomes a lot easier to achieve when you’re in a controlled environment. Also, a camp can help you greatly with keeping the weight off for good because you break old habits and trade them in for new good ones.. Check out the website fitnesscamps.net, it’s completely free, and let em know what your goals are. Someone will call you and see what kind of place is best for you because there’s a ton of different boot camps out there. I hope this helps, if you think it does, I’d appreciate the ten points, thanks!
Usually 1-3 lbs per week is reasonable and healthy… More than that and you’re likely to put it back on.
Getting in shape is NOT easy and there is no magic pill or fad diet that will do the work for you. Any diet that promises you to lose 10 lbs in 1 week is just depleting you of water weight and actually SLOWING down your metabolism making it that much harder for you to burn calories. Now if you’re a yo-yo dieter multiply that every time you start a new diet and you’re slowing down your metabolism EACH time. No wonder you can’t lose weight?!
The secret to being fit is just good old-fashioned diet and exercise. It’s a lifestyle change that only you can make. You have to have the mind set that your body and health is worth it. You will feel so much happier, and healthier once you make this change. You’ll be a better wife, mom, sister, husband, friend, etc.
So now that I filled you in on the big secret…. I will share some tips that I have learned in my own fitness quest. Small, frequent meals are the most effective way to lose weight, and maintain your blood glucose levels. If you’re following a 1200 cal/day diet try to eat 300 for breakfast, 300 for lunch, 300 for dinner, and 2 snacks in between with 150 each. You will find that you are never hungry, and never full. Because we all know that Big Mac tastes good going down it doesn’t feel so hot sitting in your belly for the next 6 hours.
You have to count your calories- at least in the beginning until you have a good grasp on the nutrition levels and portion amounts that your body needs. There are lots of websites that can help you log your meals online to see all the nutrition totals. I like This is a FREE site that allows you to plug in your height/weight/exercise level and will tell you how many calories you need to consume to achieve our goals. It’s personalized, it’s free, and it works.
Now exercise will be different for everyone and I say do something you enjoy…that way you are more likely to stick with it. A good exercise program will combine cardio and strength training. Cardio will help you burn calories and torch body fat, while strength training will build muscle, which in turn boosts your metabolism and makes you LEAN. Girls do not be afraid of weights; they are your best friends. I’m a busy nurse and I work long days so I personally enjoy working out at home to save time and $$. My favorite DVD programs are Chalean extreme, Turbo Jam, P90X, and Slim in Six. Check out for details.
Make sure you make yourself accountable…. Tell your friends/family about it so they can support you. Take your body measurements and set reasonable goals to achieve. For some incentive to workout check out and JOIN for FREE to login your workouts in a virtual gym called WOWY. Everyday in WOWY someone will win the daily prize which is either $300, $1000, TV’s, DVD players, cameras, and ipods. It’s legit and I know people that have won…myself not included YET.
I hope this helps but if you have any questions shoot me an email. I’m a nurse by trade, but fitness junkie by hobby.
yes you can
