Answer 1

soooo...what r u asking me to tell u?

Answer 2

Truthfully, it is not impossible. But it is not healthy either. I lost that much in a month, but I didn't eat anything. Basically, that's the only way to do it. I do not advise it, because not eating causes crazy health problems. Fatigue, etc. I had a hard time even functioning throughout the day. I got thinner, but I felt like absolute crap. By the way, I eat again, and let me tell you, it is great. Now I keep weight off the healthy way: making good food choices (no soda, sugary snacks, etc.) and exercising (three to five times weekly at the gym). No matter what anyone tells you, a combination of a HEALTHY diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off.

152lbs is overweight for someone of your height, so making good decisions this early on in life will help you to grow into a healthier adult. I do not condone becoming obsessive about it, but I do think you should play a more active role in your health. You can find a BMI calculator on line, it will tell you what a realistic target weight for someone of your age, height, and weight should be.

Answer 3

You CAN lose the weight in that amount of time however it is NOT healthy. I suggest you do it the right way slow and steady. 152 pounds isn't that big. Was your brother a big guy? Bigger people lose weight faster and then when they start getting to a more normal weight it starts coming off slower and it is harder to lose.

Answer 4

It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

Answer 5

It is certainly possible to lose that amount of weight in a month's time. You will find that others will downplay and discourage most of your lofty goals in life, because most people do not have the will and discipline to achieve them and would prefer you didn't either. The same people telling you this are telling you that you can do anything you set your mind to. Well, take that advice and forget everything else.

Answer 7

It's really unhealthy to lose that much weight in such a short amount of time. You would have to basically stop eating, and you wouldn't be getting the nutrients you need.
