A healthy amount of weight to lose is about 2 pounds a week, and that is if you have the weight to lose. If you are really devoted, you might be able to lose a little more in the first couple weeks. The rule is you have to shed 3500 calories to lose a pound, so exercise is key. You also lose calories based on your usual daily activities, and basal calories that your body sheds naturally. I am a big fan of weight watchers, but I also use fitday to track the amount of calories in/out I am getting.
exercise a lot, eat healthy stuff.. the usual.
I lost 10.5 #s from a Friday at 2PM and the following Monday @ 7:00 AM.It was not a perm. loss, I know...but it was necessary to make the weight for a military school I had to attend.I spent every possible moment in the base gym, mostly in the sauna and playing racquetball. All I sipped on was Grapefruit juice.BTW, I actually kept it off, but that was the hard part.Good Luck.
Yes, one tip. Lose the notion that it will be a fast process.And that much weight in that short of an amount of time WILL be unhealthy.So if you want to sacrifice your health..then your alternative is to stop eating or cut off a limb
try dropping out all carbs, or atleast cutting back on them. just drink water, and try exercising for atleast 30 minutes a day, or just take a walk or something.
To lose weight and stay healthy, you should only lose 1 or 2 pounds a week. Having the notion of losing 15-20 pounds in a month is rather absurd--not only is it unhealthy, but when you start to lose weight, it RARELY comes off quickly until you ve established a good routine.To successfully lose weight and keep it off, you need to make a life long, lifestyle change.I recommend checking out Prevention Mag online and Womens Health Mag online. They both offer tips on losing weight in a healthy way, exercises, results of recent medical studies, how to keep your body in tip-top shape without having to dedicate all day to it, delicious and healthy recipes, etc. They ve helped me lose about 60 pounds over the past year, and keep every pound of it off.
