    My gym does 12 week transformation competitions under the guidance of a personal trainer.

    They put photos up of the people that do them...and they are so inspiring. Everyone looks so great.

    So yes, you can definitely transform yourself in 12 weeks. You might not be at your goal...but I mean doing something is better than nothing. Just by getting up, you're lapping everyone on the couch.

    So just go into it with an open mind. The point is to be healthy, is it not?

    In short no - 3 years is much more realistic. Year 1 lose the blubber. Year 2 get down to a healthy weight. Year 3 sculpt a body you'll be proud to show off naked. All that may sound harsh but did you put on the extra pounds in 12 weeks? I'm guessing not, so the reversal is also true. Good luck with your efforts but think long term and you'll stand a good chance of being successful. That's my 2 cents and personal experience. #GodIWish12weeksWasPossible B)B)B)

    First off....blubber?????
    Second....it isn't going to take two years to drop 30lbs.
    Third....it will only take one year to sculpt a perfect body??? #Goditwouldbeniceifitwerethatsimple

    Oh you silly sausage, overall it can take 3 years to get what you want #HappyDays :)

    You don't go from 30 lb overweight to lean and mean in 12 weeks. He can lose 1 lb per week for 10 weeks or so, then will probably need to drop to .5. People seem to forget or be unaware of how slow the last 10-20 lbs usually is, if following healthy guidelines.
