    I'd love to be your friend and help support you. Do you have a plan in place for your workouts 6-days a week? I know I need a program to follow and get lost and confused at the gym if I don't go in knowing exactly what I am going to do! My portable DVD player with my workout programs tends to be my best buddy at the gym!

    I am a stay at home Mom I have 3 little ones. So I will be working out at home. I am going to Walmart this weekend to buy an elliptical :) I also have Zumba Core for Wii thats great ( I used it once and burned a lot of calories ) I also have some weights and one of those long weight bar thingys to hold while I do squats and I also have a ab roller and a few of Jillian Michaels DVDs I also have a link for the insanity but I tried it yesterday and didnt like it to much. My goal is to be able to do 100 crunches I can do maybe 10 at the moment but I plan on mixing all of this into different workouts. I also want a nice butt lol so lots of squats. As for eating thats the hard thing for me I ordered some stuff from GNC so I plan on Starting that Friday I am going foodshopping tomorrow so I am going to try to stick to lots of Salad yogurt fruit chicken lol if anyone has any advice please inbox me.

    Good luck whoever is going to start this with me. We got this. : /

    20 lb / 11 weeks (end of September) = 1.8 lb / week

    The weight loss slows down a lot as one nears goal. You would not likely be able to maintain that rate of loss the entire time.

    Would suggest daily exercise, HIIT, weights, and more intense activity overall. Would also not rush weight loss on a tight deadline. Eat more if you need to.

    One of the biggest mistakes heavier people (myself included) make is to expect everything to happen at once, even if it takes years to become overweight or obese.

    Naturally as one reaches healthy body fat levels the weight loss will slow down. Good luck. You'll lose some weight but probably not in the realm of 20 pounds. Also take care to preserve lean tissue. Body fat % matters more than scale weight.

    Idealy 1.5-2 lbs a week is doable but it gets harder once you're close to your goal weight.

    Please keep in mind that losing weight is only part of the equation getting fit should be the ultimate goal.

    I wish you all the best of luck and as long as you follow a sensible eating plan with exercise you should be able to attain your goals. I'd suggest measurements though for the before and after so you can truly see the difference in your body.

    I appreciate your feedback but I will do it and I will post a pic to prove it :) Everyone is different. However I do loose weight quick when I eat right and workout I just have to not be lazy I lost 30 pounds last year in 4 months without even working out that was just watching what I eat this time around I want to actually workout and see the difference.

    Thanks so much for believing its doable it all about will power and how bad you want it. I never said it was going to be easy but I have to try. I definitely want to try the measurement thing. Thanks for the advice.

    I don't think this is safe or a realistic goal. Sorry but you are on your own. Best of luck and I hope you do this safely.

    My goal is to lose 15 by Labor Day. That will take me to 199 finally. I think that in order to do that I am going to have to be pretty strict with both my food and my workouts. Hopefully I don't get too many social invites between now and then :)
