want to lose 76 pounds by October . . . .?

Question

I want to lose 76 ponds by October, that's 3.5 pounds per week for the next 22 weeks. Any good ideas how to do this without starving myself?

Answer 1

Cut back on fatty foods. Do a lot of cardio exercises.

Answer 2

Do cardiovascular exercise 5 times a week. You need to keep your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes, more would probably be better, but don't over do it. Do some research on the internet about cardiovascular exercise and you should be able to find out what your heart rate needs to be to burn fat. Also, make sure that you are eating right. Cut back on fats, and eat 3 to 5 times per day. I know that sounds strange if you're trying to loose weight, but it's what you need to do. This is because when you don't eat enough you're body thinks that you're starving, and so everytime you do eat it stores as much fat as it possibly can so that it has something to live off of while you're starving it. So make sure that you are eating. Don't stuff yourself, just eat enough so that you are satisfied. Best of luck!

Answer 3

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.

1. Your weight affects you in many ways other than your appearance:

Your overall quality of life;
self-esteem;
health risks;
depression;
and physical abilities are also influenced.
Think of all the positive changes you can experience by losing weight.

2. You will need to see your doctor for a physical if you haven't had one recently and you really should get her approval before starting a weight loss regime.

3. You should ask yourself these questions as you begin:

Why do you want to lose weight?
Are you truly committed? Do you have a support system set up?
Can you accept mistakes without giving up altogether?
4. To lose weight effectively, you will have to permanently change four aspects of your life:


1.) what you eat
2.) how you eat
3.) your behavior and
4.) your activity level.



You shouldn't set your sights too high (... like losing 30 pounds in a month. Those signs advertising weight loss pills are not true!).
Small goals (e.g. 5 pounds; 10 percent of your current weight) are far more attainable and easier to stay focused on.

Answer 5

DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF!! If you don't eat your metabolism will slow down. Walk/run 30 minutes the first week and then keep adding 5 minutes each week.. or something similar. Eat A LOT of protein,fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. You might want to try some fat loss injections once a week or try going to a weight loss doctor.
good luck!

Answer 6

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 7

thats 15 pounds a month roughly.........I am not a doctor but that doesn't sound healthy.

Answer 8

EXERCISE. That will allow you to keep eating - but CHANGE THE WAY you eat, too.
