| Is it possible for me to loose 20 pounds in 2 months the healthy way? I live on 10 acres of land so I have alot of room to stretch, walk and run in. If I were to stretch, lift weights and walk or run for an hour everyday and eat right could I loose 20 lbs in 2 months? |

| well i wont say its not possible because it probably is. Just make sure you drink lots of water, and eat. Don't have huge meals but make sure you still eat.Also if you are to get on a scale don't think that you're gaining or not loosing because you are going to be gaining muscle now that you are being more active and watching your weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. |

| If you exercise a half hour at a time twice per day AND keep your calories at 1,000 per day you should lose the weight in the time limit you've given. Slower would be better, but this wouldn't be unhealthy. |

| Instead of loosing weight, you will loose your life. It is next to impossible to loose 20lbs in 2 months. |

No. When losing weight, you must know that it takes TIME. 20 pounds is A LOT to lose, and it will take more time than 2 months no matter what. DO NOT resort to something drastic, please! The most important thing is that you are healthy. I found that once I started eating right and excersizing more, I felt really good about my body, and I did start to trim off a few pounds! The thing is, once you feel good and healthy, you don't feel as if you have to lose quite as much weight. PLEASE be healthy, and don't do anything drastic! People love you! Hope I helped!  |

| Yes.But don't listen to the person that said just eat 1000kcals/day. Figure out your basal metabloic rate and calculate the number of calories your body needs and how many calories you need to lose weight. If you undereat you'll just put your body into starvation mode and you'll start eating away muscle instead of fat. Read the link there's some essential information you need.Our bodies are smart. So we have to continually trick it into eating up fat instead of muscle. I've found the best way to do this is cycle carbs. |

| Try this, you can feel and see results in about three days. Muscle will outweigh the fat so don't let the scale discourage you .For exercise, try switching it out everyday, so your body doesn't get used to the exercise (Monday Arms, Tuesday Stomach, Wednesday Legs, Thursday Rest, Friday Arms, Saturday Stomach, Sunday Legs). Also, one the days where legs or stomach or arms come back around the second workout of the week focusing in that area, try switching the exercise out too. For arms maybe lift weights (if you have none then use cans and be sure to hold them away from you or they won't work). For stomach, you can sit on a bouncy ball and do crunches (don't hold onto your legs), for legs, maybe lay on your side propped up on your elbow and lift the top leg slowly up and down, then switch. If you are can't exercise an hour, that's fine but try increasing the time every week or so. If you are old enough to buy equiptment or go to a gym, try that. As you get further into it, maybe you can buy some equipment for mainly those three areas I listed. Also, walk home from places or on the commercial break, get up and run wall to wall.Also, a REALLY good workout is at youtube.com and search for 8 minute abs, 8 minute legs, 8 minute buns, and 8 minute arms. Try doing these on other days (ex.: Monday arms and workout from youtube, Tuesday legs not workout from youtube, Wednesday stomach and 8 minute abs, Thursday rest, Friday arms no 8 minute arms, Saturday no 8 minute abs, Sunday 8 minute legs. Try doing those how I listed above and don't do it more than once a day along with your daily workout.For food, which is very important (70% of weight loss is food intake while 30% is excercise, though both are VERY important), try this schedule.Breakfast:Whenever you wake up or an hour after.Drink of choice: One hour after breakfast (all other drinks being water.Lunch: 1 1/2 hours after drink of choice.Snack: 1 1/2 hour after lunch (or two hours after lunch).Dinner: 2 hours after snack.Try portioning your food, one cup for meals and half a cup for snacks and drink of choice. As you get more used to this, you can decrease your portion sizes.Also try measuring your calorie intake and try exercising over the amount of your intake to build muscle which burns access fat. You can measure that at www.myfitnesspal.com where it measures EVERYTHING for you .If you drink cokes and need help with that, try slowly decreasing the amount of cokes you drink, one day the usual, and decrease half of the amount of that you usually drink until it's half a cup a day.While your exercising, I have a problem with wanting to eat then and I'm sure everyone else does too so maybe bring a mug of ice with you and eat the ice so you get a little munch out of it and you hydrate yourself while doing no harm to yourself or your diet.Hope this helps and good luck! |
