For the last week, I've been doing at least 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical and treadmill) each day, sometimes doubling that. I've also been doing some light weights, low weight, high reps (about 3 reps of 8). Does this sound like a good plan? Any tips on accelerating fat loss? I really need to get into a special dress for New Years so I need to lose at least 10 pounds in the next two weeks. Advise?

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

You quite can not count on to do that in a healthful means, and when you did manipulate it, the load could now not keep off. Try to paintings towards wasting two lbs per week. You would nonetheless lose 20 lbs in that point. Twenty kilos could nonetheless make a tremendous change, you maybe amazed. Just take a look at looking what you devour (consuming extra healthful meals and no more quantities) and including a bit bit extra of bodily pastime in your day and it's going to give you the results you want. Don't stop and well success!

Forget the treadmill, double the elliptical time
or increase the level. 3 to 8 reps is not high.
10 to 15 is high. Lighten your weights if need
be. Crunches are superb but do not do sit ups.
If you really want to lose weigt very fast
USE A STEAM ROOM but be careful, keep
hydrated because you can pass out.

sounds good so far just make sure your also eating a good well balanced diet also running is the wonder exercise for weight loss its better to run for 20 minutes then to do eliptical for 60 you dont need to be on a machine that long if you cant run a full 20 do this: walk for 2 minutes, run for 2 until 20 minutes pass and each week step it up example intsead of walking for 2 and running for 2 add a minute to your run and maybe the next week take a minute off your walk until you can run the full 20 but dont over do it 3 days a week is plenty eat sensible meals but dont starve yourself starving yourself only makes your body hold onto that fat and goodluck

I would recommend the South Beach diet--I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, so if the same happens for you then you could reach your goal. I ran 1 mile 5 days a wek during this time as well, so yes, for me cardio was enough as far as exercise goes.

the cardio is great, but do NOT starve yourself. this makes it even harder to lose weight. eliminate empty calories like soda and junk food. also do not eat after 8 pm. try to eat "clean", ie non processed foods, not a lot of sodium, but you still need fats. Make sure it is good fats like olive oil, not trans fats like sweets. Your exercise plan sounds great. Combine this with some healthy eating tips (watch the breads as well...cut out pastries or doughnuts) and you will fit into your dream dress. Good luck to you! :)

I ate fish,chicken,veggies,fruits,and wheat bread and noddles.Good luck

make sure you are at your target heart rate otherwise you can do all the cardio in the world and not expend enough oxygen to be burning any calories, and make sure you are burning more cals than you consume

just make sure you wear a hart rate monitor, and that your heart rate matches your age. that's the best way to lose weight
