i weight 215 pd how long will it take me to lose 60 pounds?

Answer 1

If you do it the healthy way....about 7 months.

Answer 2

It could take from 6 months to a year or more depending on your metabolism, the type of diet and how much you exercise. It can also be hard to judge sometimes as women one week we may lose 5 pounds and the next nothing even though we have been working hard. Really it is best to assume a year and don't get discouraged, just keep working at it. Also rather then thinking that oh in 2 months I am going to be 200 pounds set goals for what you will do when that happens. When you are 200 pounds you are going to go for a manicure, when you are 190 you are going to buy a new dress, etc.

Good luck

Answer 3

The amount of time it takes to loose weight depends on a couple of factors, your metabolism, exercise regimen, and most importantly your weihgtloss plan. According to the experts it is best not to lose more than 2 pounds per week to prevent muscle loss, but I believe that this theory does not apply to all body types and metabolisms.

I will recommend that you plan your weight loss strategy around your schedule and try to incorporate better food choices slowly so that you can adjust and don't quit out of frustration.

Also try to start by doing a detoxify plan to get rid of all toxins and jump start your metabolism and try to continue to eat the healthier alternative to the foods you like instead of eradicating them so that you don't get tired.

I also found that on my case it works to eat at least 5 times a day which means that you can eat three meals and two snacks or you can even eat 6 times a day 3 meals and 3 snacks starting with the most important meal of the day which is breakfast.

When it comes down to what you eat, don't go crazy all you have to do is replace the foods you like for their healthier version and make sure that you keep a journal so that you can track your eating patterns and identify what makes you eat more or less

Also if you really want to lose the weight fast you have to exercise and stay hydrated. Just by drinking enough water you will increase your metabolism by 5%. Most of the time we all mistake thirst for hunger when in reality if you drink a tall glass of water the hunger pain is guaranteed to go away.

I don't know your schedule, but if you have 30 minutes to spare and you are really committed to lose those pounds try this program:

So far I have lost 60 LB and although I have used it on and off, whenever I do use it the results are visible immediately.

Whatever your plan is just make sure you have a realistic goal. There is no magic way of loosing weight….. and just remember that it did not take you a month to gain all that weigh so you should not expect to lose it in one either......

I wish you the best of luck and remember: "The worse battle is the one that is never fought"

Answer 4

You should make that a goal for this entire year, to lose it and keep it off. it will probably take you 6-8 months to do it but use the other time time to develop healthy habits to keep it off.

Diet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed. The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.

This bit of advice is something I tell anyone who asks whether you are my client or not.
There are 5 most important things that must go together in any workout program. These are part of changing your complete lifestyle to one that is healthier. They also help you to naturally optimize your metabolism. The faster your metabolism the better your body uses your food for energy, instead of storing it as fat.
I put them in the order of importance.

1. Eat more. Yes eat more. More meals that is. It is best to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours. The meal should be just large enough to where you are not hungry, as opposed to eating you are full. There is a difference, think of it as no bigger than the size of your two fists put together. Eating 1 or 2 meals a day slows your metabolism down. You should have at least 4-6 meals a day. For most a ratio of carbs-proteins-fats should be 50%-25%-25% is good, but each person is unique.

2. Drink more water. Most of us don’t have enough water. This means our bodies are dehydrated. Two things a dehydrated body has trouble doing, one is releasing water. In order to lose fat you must be able to release water, because fat cells in your body are composed of mostly water. A dehydrated body cannot build very well. Muscle tone indicates a constant building state in your body. If your body isn’t building that means it is losing muscle and it’s never good to lose muscle that slows your metabolism and makes you look flabby.

3. Maintain a balanced workout regimen of cardio and resistance (weights). Cardio is good for fat burning and it’s easy to do and to progress yourself. Resistance is a little harder because it’s not as easy to know what to do. If weights aren’t your thing then try Yoga or Pilates. Both are very effective resistance and core training and can help you maintain lean muscle and increase your overall metabolism.

4. Smart supplementation of your diet is your best solution to making sure you get the nutrients your food doesn’t give you. A daily multivitamin will suffice in most cases, and if you don’t like pills they sell it in liquid form. Plus cleanses, as well as detox formulas are awesome for eliminating toxins we take into our bodies without knowing.

5. Sleep is a very important part of any healthy lifestyle regimen. When we sleep our bodies and minds refresh themselves and allow us to function at an optimal level. Sleeping allows muscles to rebuild themselves and when they do that, it speeds your metabolism.

You may ask why I gave you this long list instead of just telling you what exercises to do. The reason is if you think that exercising is all you need then you are mislead. If exercising is all we needed to look and feel great then everybody who works out at the gym would have great bodies and be healthy. If you have been to a gym before you know its not true.

Answer 5

do jumproping (burns a lot of calories) non-stop every day for about 30-45 minutes, then take a JOG not run around ur neighborhood, don't eat a lot of junkfood..and yeah, my guess is 2 months

Answer 6

if you aim to lose 2 lbs a week and stay on target meaning you need to track everything so that when you hit a plateau you need to get back on track and make sure that you stay on target.

Answer 7

6 months, if you are serious, cut out the junk food and eat more proteins

Answer 8

it depends on how much u exercise
