How much??

Question:

About how much weight could i lose in a healthy way in about 2 months? i was thinking between 15 and 20 lbs. Is that a good amount to lose? I want this weight to stay off not just come back in a month. I am 5'5" and weigh 140. I have a larger chest (its genes) my stomach is not that bad i just want to lose a some weight in there it is too too far from almost flat. and i also want to lose a little in my thighs. any tips? i have 4 kids so i guess thats when i put a few extra pounds on through all of them. i used to weigh 120 so i would like to get there again. thanks!

Answers:
To safely and effectively lose weight, and to make sure you are losing fat and not muscle and water, you should figure on losing 2lbs or so per week, so in two months that would be about 16lbs. This of course assumes you are eating right and following an exercise program designed for fat loss. Just cutting out cookies and hopping on the treadmill a couple of times per week will not cut it.

Your best bet is to follow a comprehensive program like Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne, Afterburn by Alwyn Cosgrove, or Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto. You can check them out at http://www.bestfitnesstools.com... .

LOSE 20 POUNDS IN ONE MONTH WITH 48 MINUTES OF WALKING.

(works for me and im 13 almost 14. and works for many adults i know)
if u walk 48 min per day u lose 500% more than wut women lose doing 20 min of cardio everyday! its the legnth/time that matters!
omg! ok this is SO simple and its working for me. heres wut u do, u walk for 48 minutes everyday, and u eat this
breakfast: 1 cup whatever kind of cereal u want (no granola) with 1 cup of fat free milk
lunch: unlimited salad, about 1/2 cup protein (such as left over chicken or lean meat, low-fat cheese, tuna, or a boiled egg), about 1/3 cup of carbs (such as low-fat crutons, crushed baked corn chips, corn, beans or peas), and 2-3 tbs of fat free dressing. (the dressing is optinal.)
dinner: unlimited salad with 2-3 tbs of fat free dressing
and whatever u want eaten slowly off a child size plate. aim for at least 3. oz protein such as chicken, fish, or lean beef; stop eating when you're full.

*important*
make sure u add one serving of milk, yogurt, or low fat cheese AND have sugar free beverages. u CAN have low-cal extacts in moderation*

EDIT: BMI thing is lame cuz it says im in shape, age:13 weight: 130 (now im 125), and height: 5'3.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IF U NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT. IF U HAVE CELLULITE AND THE BMI SAYS UR IN SHAPE, then DUH lose weight lol! (not tryin to b mean).

remember one thing , more you loose in shorter time , the faster you gain it again , in 2 month the best you can do is loose 5kg . or if you want to stay on a diet for really really long time and look very good as stars do , i mean the VIPs are alwais on diet.

In a healthy manner, you could probably lose more than that.
