i don't know. but... if you find out how.... tell me=) i don't want to lose 50. maybe like 20.
of course! have you heard of fat summer camps? they should just call it a boot camps huh.
I think it's possible if you workout a lot and are conscious of what you are eating at all times. It breaks down to about 4 pounds a week so you would really have to eat healthy and not cheat. Maybe you shouldn't set a pound goal, just be happy that your clothes are fitting better. If you look at the small things, it makes it easier to keep going. Good luck!
if they work really hard im sure thats possible. you can do 300-400 crunches a night dont eat fast//junk food drink water instead of sodas jump rope for 20-30 min. a night. jump roping for 10 min.= 30 min. of jogging. eat fruits and veggies. good luck! :)
No. Even people who have gastric bypass surgery do not lose 50 pounds in 2 months. A realistic and acheivable goal would be about 2 pounds per week, on average. People with a lot of weight to lose may find that they lose 4-5 pounds per week for the first couple of weeks, then maybe ony 1 or 2 pounds a week after that. Or even zero pounds some weeks, but if you keep at it and don't get discouraged, 2 pounds a week is about average and the healthiest way to do it.
Yes....Have You Called Jenny Yet? JK...I think if you work hard and stay on your diet...you'll do great. GOOD LUCK!
The fatter you are the easier it is to lose weight. So it is possible depending on how much you need to lose.
I had a friend that lost 60 lbs. just playing DDR and not eating junk food in 3 months.
That's a bit much for 3 months. In 3 months ( a season), you could SAFELY lose about 27 lbs (2 lbs per week). That's a great goal, and I'd go for that before I'd go for anything extreme. Learning to lose weight is a habit that has to be long-term anyway, so there's no point in trying to only do it for a short time. :)
In 2004 I lost 48 pounds in 6 months. It wasn't easy. I didn't diet exactly. I just counted calories and fat grams. Weighed all my food, kept a diary of everything I ate and drank and exercised (cardio) for 45 minutes six days a week. I also walked for 30 minutes every evening.
yes, i lost 40 just in augast and half of september
It is possible, but not in the most healthy way. When I say not healthy I mean you stand a high chance of gaining it back, but gaining more then the weight you lose. It happened to me a few years back, it was not my intention of losing the weight, but I lost 40 pounds in 6 weeks. I was so stressed that I would hardly eat anything and if I did eat anything it was in small quantities, If you are going to lose the weight do it in a healthy way, eat proper and exercise. And best of luck
I lost 40lbs in 3-4 mths over the winter months last year and has keep it off using the following website. I had to pay like $30 dollars to register but it makes 11 day meal plans with regular food , and 45 min of excercise a day, if you don't want to join , simple tip: don't eat foods made with flour or startchy, meaning bread, pasta, rice, pizza, potatoes, eat more veggies, chicken breast, tuna, mixed nuts, ham and pineapple, and eat only one handful of food 4 times a day 2 and half hours apart. I swear it works but you have to have discipline. Good Luck!
Not exactly the way scientists predict we should but it has been done. Me every grapefuit diet, popcorn cheese under the sun. (tomatoe juice pcorn & cheese I trended diet) However, A couple of good first days under your belt is always good. They is the tuff one's. See your doctor. Water, oh well Martha does it lots of it lemons Yahoo BRAN if nothing else include or make sure u end your day with a good bowl of cereal or real fiber to get rid of all that. Follow your diets that are for you weight and height. Again see a doctor for 50 lbs u can't fool around. Please eat but watch intake. Think fiber for fast weight loss. Tell your spouse early on they have to be more understanding. WATER WATER WATERalways #1 And the dreaded exercise... u have kids? run with them let them loose at every park and chase the daylights out of them I gave up my car and lost so much weight walking it was amazu=ing NO BREAD NO BREAD NO BREAD anything with or looks like it hide & cry say Aloha XO
this is possible. in the summer i workout for a minimum of 4 hours. i live in egypt and i enrolled in a prog for students wanting to enrole in the army we do cardio for 4 hours then sometimes weightlifting and we do it in the sun. i lost 20 pound even though i didnt want to and i ate fastfood (large meal) 3 times a day
