How much before Jan 1st?

Question

I want to lose as much weight as I can before my next birthday which is Jan 1st. I currently weigh 165 and I'm 5ft8in. How much do you think I can lose between now and then if I do taebo 30 min twice a day? After I do taebo my hair is ringing wet and I am dripping with sweat and then I do a few sit ups and crunchies. And maybe go for a walk. I am also eating healthy. How much is it possible to lose. Thats about 7 weeks. And what else can I add to this. i already drink just water and lots of it.

Is it at all possible to lose more than 20-30 lbs?

Answer 1

Be careful not to over work your body by exercising! You could lose maybe 7-10 lbs that would stay off if you go slowly, or maybe 20-25 lbs that would probably come back if you fall off your exercise and diet regime.

Answer 2

Oh my! You are very ambitious! This is a very difficult time of year to be losing weight. But - I'm sure you can do it if you are determined.

So - the way you lose weight is to eat less calories than what you are burning. If your cardio/exercise workout burns 600 - 700 calories per day (which I believe is about right for what you described) and you are eathing a healthy 1500 calories a day (about right for your height and weight) you could lose about 2.5 pounds per week. My guess is that you'll still be hungry though - if you are doing all of that cardio. So drinking lots of water will help. If you haven't been dieting prior - the weight will come off a little faster at first. It's really not safe or healthy to lose more than two and a half pounds a week. At this rate my guess is that you'll lose about 17.5 pounds by your New Year's Birthday.

If you want to lose more than 20 or 30 pounds - and you don't care about how safe it is - you can just fast - drinking water only - but it's likely that you won't have a lot of energy to exercise.

If you're going to fast - may I suggest the Master Cleanser. It IS caloric - with you drinking a mixture of Lemon Juice, Grade B Maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper. I do it every spring - for 8-10 days - and usually lose about 10 pounds. Mostly I do it for cleansing purposes - and my weight has usually all come back over time. I have friends who have done it for 30 days and lost 30 pounds - and kept it off. I think if you MUST lose weight fast - it's probably not the safest way to do it - but possibly the safest un-safe way to do it. If that makes sense.

You can check out these sights - but there are many more as well:

Well I lost 30 lbs in 7 weeks. I did a combination of walking early Every morning before breakfast, vitamin supplements, and Taebo twice a day ( after break fast, right before bed) and I also did aerobic exercises 4 times a week. I did a low carb ( not no-carb, that's stupid) diet and drank a gallon of water daily. I drank a glass of water with half a squeezed lemon before Every meal ( this should be inclusive of the galln of water per day). It helped me to feel full quicker, and lemon is a good internal cleanser. I also made sure to keep my bowels moving regularly, so I drank a tea called Trim Max it has natural senna which acts like a laxative. You can get this tea at places like The Vitamin Shoppe of health food places. Similar teas would be the Dieter's Tea; it has the same ingredients. Or you can even get the actual Senna tea from a healthfood store. I get it from the Asian fruit an vegetable shops. I did however take 2 rest days, never back to back, but on those days I continued my walks. Never over work the body. Allow it at least one day of rest that is why I didn't do the Taebo or the aerobic everyday. Before I knew it I lost 30lbs. I'm your same height by the way. Go for it and good luck!

Answer 4

If you're asking how much weight you will lose from exercise, the answer is 5 pounds max, probably less.

You can be eating "healthy" but still be taking in too many calories. Review your food choices, especially on weekends.

Answer 5

If you want to do it the right way, healthy way, and long term way - 20-30lbs is overdoing it. Keep in mind you are also gaining muscle doing a lot of those moves
