Can you lose 25 lbs in 2 months, if so how?

Question

I just had a baby and i need to lose 50 pounds but i want to lose 25 by november 18 and then 25 more by january 18...how can i go about doing this in healthy way.

Answer 1

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Answer 2

You could lose at least 20 in 2 months. 2 to 2 1/12 pounds a week average is a safe amount to lose and grants you a better chance at keeping it off permanently. Although some weeks you may lose 4 or 5 and some weeks you may not lose any. I had twins who just turned 5 years old yesterday. When I was pregnant I gained 62 pounds. It was mostly water though. I lost 52 pounds in the first 14 days. Honestly. It took a couple of months to work off the last 10 pounds. If you eat healthy and exercise it should not be a problem. Good luck.

Diet and exercise. Workout for 5 days a week. Do a lot fo cardio like 30 min a day and some small weights. Make sure your workout is 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hours long and you are actually moving the whole time
make sure you are eating 5-7 small meals or snacks a day that are healthy. Like apples and other fruit.

Answer 4

YEP YEP YEP! You most certainly can! I had a baby last year and couldn't get the last 50 lbs of babyweight off (I'd gained 80) so I started the Cambridge Diet and lost 17 lbs in the first 3 weeks. See website below and go to Before and After to see my photo (first one on the page) and the details on which variation of the diet I used.

Answer 5

I did this last summer. I walked my kiesta off for at least 45 minutes a day, every day. Not three times a week, but everyday. You will find that you will start to lose gradually, maybe 2 or 3 pounds per week, but it will happen, as long as you don't eat yourself crazy.

Answer 6

it is possible, with regular cardiovascular exercise, and an intake calorie controlled diet. keep away from high carbs (bread chips etc) but take in at least 120grammes of vegetables and lean meat with at least 2 liters of water a day. try to walk or jog a mile each day and do about 60 sit ups in reps of 10 or what you can handle at a go every two days. and make sure you have your meals 5 hours apart and at least two hours before going to bed.

Answer 7

Getting rid of belly fat (or fat in general) is 60% diet, 30% exercise, and 10% mental thought. You must eat the right foods, exercise more often than you don't. Meaning at least four days a week, burning more calories than you consume. Also, thinking positive thoughts about yourself and not putting yourself down.

Portion control is key. You don't want to overeat.
A portion should be the size of your fist. You should have one portion of carb and protein per meal. A portion size for fat is a handful.

Carbohydrates:
Apples, Bananas, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Mangos, Pineapple, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Celery, Carrots, Broccoli, Asparagus, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Steel Cut Oatmeal, Whole "Grain" Bread.

Protein: Salmon, Tuna, Halibut, Chicken Breats, Lean Ground Tukey, Turkey Breasts, Protein Powder, Protein Bars (Power Crunch Bar, Cliff Builder Bar) You don't want a high calorie, high fat, high sugar bar. The two I listed are good ones, and they taste great too!

Fat: Organic Peanut Butter, "Raw" Almonds or Walnuts, Balsalmic Vinagerette Dressing. (Just a handful of nuts, with your breakfast, lunch, dinner.) Fats help with digestion.

You want to have 4-5 small meals per day. 2-3 hours apart.
You will never go hungry and your metobolism will not slow down this way! Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed. (Also, get 8 hours of sleep if possible, this is also a major key to losing belly fat)!

Meal Planning: (Preperation is key)

Meal 1: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!
Meal 2: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)!
Meal 3: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!
Meal 4: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)!
Meal 5: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!

Remember to drink half of your weight in oz of water per day.
(ex: 120lbs = drink 60oz. of water per day.)

Exercise: (Do this in whatever ruitine suits you best).

Mon- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, abs
Tue- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)
Wed- light weights lower body, 20-30 min cardio, abs
Thu- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)
Fri- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, abs
Sat- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)

It's very important to sign up to a gym, it offers more motivation and try not to be shy about it. Also, when working out, get enough sleep so your body can repair itself!

This is my plan that I have made after doing research. It has worked for me, and I've helped friends lose weight this way!
You have to stick with it and make it a lifestyle. Only eat junk food in moderation. Eventually you won't even crave junk food. I say anything in a bag, box, or container is what's going to keep you from attainig your goal. Keep it natural!
GOOD LUCK!
