Don't worry that's only 3 lbs per month. Just eat healthy and exercise.
1-2 lb per week...
cut down on dessert and alcohol, soda, juice, iced tea, "fitness" drinks, coffee drinks...
try the new Kimkins website! walk 45 min. a DAY you could probably lose 25lbs by jan.safely
Yes you could lose 3-5 lbs a month with no problem on the right diet. The best way to do it is cut out your caffine intake, when you eat use a smaller plate and eat slowly and drink plenty of water. You can do this.
You have plenty of time.
Okay...I only started last monday...All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost one pant size and 7 pounds. And its only been 8 days!
Here it is:
Helpful Tips for weight loss:
1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch
Keep to a 1,200 food intake
Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn't seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.
I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127
2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.
whether you can do it or not depends on how much you wiegh rite now. if you weigh likke 300 lbs, you could do it. if you weigh 150, you proly can't.
I promise try this...it will be the last thing you ever do! As long as you cleanse your body.you will be fine.it's like giving yourself and oil change.. My family and I have been using the best cleansing technology...:)the first time I did it, I lost 10 pounds in 9 days:)..check out this site…

Change you're lifestyle
eat
Daily intake
1400 calories
40 grams of fat
150 carbs
1900 mg of sodium
Consume plenty of calcium, and protein.
focus on cardio to burn fat. such as jogging a mile a day
start out 1/4 mile a day then each couple days work you're way up until you get to 2 miles.
Yes you can lose more than 15 pounds in that time span you can lose liek 40 lbs in that time span.
That's certainly reasonable.
Diets fail for two reasons
1. Unreasonable and unachievable expectations. That's not just expectations about weight loss, but the amount of effort and discipline it requires. Its tough to keep at it when your really can't see day to day progress.
2. the 'Diet' concept itself. It has to be a change in how you live. If you change the way you eat in a temporary and unsustainable way, such as starvation, or all protein, or some wierd fruit or 'detox' regimen, its inevitable that you'll gain weight again when you reach the end of the diet.
The truth is, you lose weight by creating a calorie deficit, i.e., a gap between the amount of food/fuel/calories you need to power your daily activities, and what you eat. You can create a deficit by any combination of eating less and exercising more. More exercise makes the process easier, because you don't have to be quite so picky and restrictive about eating.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that exercise fixes everythng, though. It takes a brutal amount of exercise to make up for that pint of cookie dough ice cream. Exercise works, but there's no magic. The act of putting on your track suit and shoes and walking around the block a couple times doesn't do it. If you'e out of shape, your cardiovascular system isn't capable of supporting a 1000 or 2000 calorie workout. Its a cruel fact that athletes can stay thin, or lose weight at will because they can go out for a hard 10 mile run if they need to, not because they were born with a skinny gene.
That said, here's the plan: Record and analyze what you eat for a few days. Take out or cut back on the high fat and junk. If you've already done that, cut back on portions. Use a smaller plate if you need to fool yourself. No seconds.
Make daily exercise a habit. I can't say what, because I don't know what kind of shape you're in. You need something that elevates your heartrate for at least an hour. Walking if that's all you can manage, although you're better off with something more strenuous like cycling, swimming or running. No excuses about being too busy. If you're THAT busy, you wouldn't be overweight because you wouldn't have time to eat. Time is a matter of priorities. We make time for the things that are important to us.
Good luck.
This is attainable, but like me, you have to be strong and committed to do this. I've taken most of the summer off for holidays and visitors etc., but am getting back into the "swing" of things.
My partner and myself have quite a few pounds to lose before next April ourselves, and have committed to a much healthier eating and lifestyle plan.
I call it a food plan vs. a diet (diets are not permanent), a healthy lifestyle change with a healthy food plan can and should be permanent.
Avoid eating processed sugars and foods, white carbs (bread, pastas, white rice etc), starchy and fried foods. Drink your daily allottment of water (depending on your current weight and adjust accordingly). Your weight divided by 2 and then converted into ounces, divide by 8 which gives you the number of glasses to drink each day.
If you have food intolerances or allergies by all means avoid those. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and processed drinks as well.
Ask for baked, poached, or broiled lean meats, poultry and fish with veggies when going out. Otherwise when cooking at home, do a lot of baking in a roasting pan. It is easy and less time consuming. Roasting the meat/poutry/fish with the veggies. Although with the fish, cook your veggies first as the fish does not require much time to cook. Roasting keeps a lot of the nutrients intact, and steaming the veggies keeps them healthy as well.
Remember, when we are hungry in between meals, have a glass of water, as we might be thirsty and not hungry.
If you are not sure of a food group or drink, then stay on the side of caution and avoid.
Hope this helps. Let's keep in touch.
All the best, CC
