    88lbs in two months is a very unrealistic goal and this may hinder your progress! Please lower your goal...2lb a week loss is the best and most healthiest way of losing and maintaining weight loss!

    You need to reconsider :flowerforyou:

    I like your motivation, but 88 pounds in 2 months is completely UNHEALTHY. Please please don't do this, even people who have surgery (gastric bipass) etc don't loose that much.2lbs a weeks is the most you are suppose to loose , but the more weight you have the easier it is to loose- I wouldn't push pass 3-4 in a week. It is so important to stay healthy, In two months, it could be possible to loose 20 pounds, and keep it up when you go back to school, you will see the change, feel the change and so will other people. The most important thing is your health. I urge you please, if you want to do this so intense please see your doctor.

    88 is unrealistic, 30 over 2 monthsis attainable. You will gain self esteem with each lb you lose. Do it the healthy sustainable way. Good luck!

    It will make your life hell trying to stay away from food that you love when you are feeling sooo bad about your self already.
    I would suggest that you learn new ways to cook the food you love..you might not lose the full goal in 2 mths, but you will lose a noticeable amount and by using this site and learning to REALLY love food and cooking for yourself your confidence should improve. Best of luck :flowerforyou:

    Sometimes the STRESS of wanting to lose weight will be the biggest roadbloack to preventing us from losing weight. Set your goal at 2 lb weight loss a week, concentrating on healthy calories, keeping active, and you'll be amazed how much better you will feel after the 88 lb, even if it takes you til the end of your school year. There are no quick fixes to health unfortunately. But you can do this slowly and with all of our support.

    I can empathize with you. All through school I was "the fat kid" and I hated it! I hated myself for it and like you tried to lose massive amounts of weight over the summer. It never worked. I wish I had the advice of people here when I was going through that.

    I agree with everyone else. Your goals are really not realistic.

    Why is chicken on your "do not touch" list? It's healthy, a good source of protein, breasts are low in cals and fat. I pretty much eat it daily and I've lost weight.

    There's no way you can lose that amount of weight healthily.Just no way. I've lost nearly 40lbs in 3 months and to do that, I've become vegan, reeduced my calorie intake and portion sizes, work out every day AND I'm breastfeeding!

    This is a totally unrealistic goal that will lead to heartache when you are unable to achieve it. Sorry.

    Mani,
    Listen and re-read these posts if you must. You have set a goal that you will not reach. If you did, you would be too ill to go back to school.
    Yes, you should lose weight. Yes, you can lose weight. This site will help you if you work the site. You must log every thing you eat. You must exercise 5 to 6 days a week. If you follow the guidelines set up for you here you will lose and will find a way to adopt a lifestyle that will keep it off. If you read people's bios on here one common thread runs through most of our and that is that we have histories of losing gaining losing gaining. But, if you go to the success stories, or just become friends with people on here you will also find people of all ages who are now losing and not gaining it back. That is where you want to be. You are sooo young, if you master this now, you will be giving yourself a wonderful gift==the gift of health.
    Good luck, stick with this. Do not make it impossible for yourself. You will find all the acceptance and support you will ever need on here. Find friends, if you want add me.
    linda p.s. I will be praying for you as you go on this journey, take us with you.

    The only way you could do that (relatively) safely would be to cut off both your legs!

    88 pounds in 2 months in not a realistic goal...Thats 44 pounds in 1 month. I dont see you doing that a healthy way at all. You would pretty much have to cut starch out of your diet, to even lose close to that and the body needs starch, and you would have to basically starve yourself.

    Any diet done in that fashion, is not good, and once you do lose the weight (which wont be in 2 months anyway), and you start eating, you will gain the weight back anyway

    Just workout as you have been planning to do. Cut your calories, drink tons of water, eat lots of fruits and veggies. If possible try not to eat dinner past 7pm.

    Chicken breast is good for you, no need to cut it out of your diet, just try and grill it, when you are eating it

    Log all your calories honeslty, and stay at the calorie goal MFP recommended...If you go overboard with the diet, you may get frustrated and quit, so take it one day at a time

    The slower the weight lost, the better it is for you, and more likely you will keep it off

    Goodluck

    think about it this way

    2 lbs/week, there are about 23 weeks left in the year, so by the end of the year you could be 46 lbs lighter !

    disclaimer: i very likely could have calculated the number of weeks wrong, but you get the idea :)

    Kiddo, try to think of it this way, if you lose 8 lbs a month, for a total of 16lbs in two months, that's 16lbs you no longer have to lose. You'll be that much further ahead at the end of 2 months, instead of gaining maybe another 10lbs over what you already weigh. An

    It's a journey, a lifestyle change, and it will not be automatic. Put the correct habits into place, and you will see results, and you will start to feel better...and eventually, it will be less about weighing a certain amount and more about how great you feel and look. You'll love feeling healthy!

    What happens to a lot of people is that they jump in with both feet and over exercise and get injured, under eat, and start to feel like crap, get discouraged, and give up. I think an hour of exercise, most days, is a good goal to set for yourself. Find something you like to do, whether it's walking, running, being on an elliptical, playing sports, riding a bike, and try to incorporate that movement into your daily life. Find classes to take, if you belong to a gym, where the class leader can help you with your form. As you go along, you can add more exercise to your workout if you want. You have to build up to great amounts of exercise in order to avoid injury.

    If you start today, though, think how much further along you'll be when you head back to school, than you were when you started.

    Think of it this way...when people see you getting thinner during college while you are under stress from term papers, finals, etc. they will think WOW she is lookin' hotter and hotter all the time. And this is going to sound mean, but its not meant to hurt anyones feelings...half those people who will be looking at you losing weight while going to college could be gaining weight and wondering how in the he11 you are doing it!?!?!!

    Take it slowly. Relish in the little changes that bring big results. Don't give up every time you flub a meal, get right back on the next meal. Don't feel bad if you do it either, we ALL do it every now and then. Because honestly attempting an extreme weight loss like that may bring big results in the beginning but the moment you can't work out as hard because you have that term paper to focus on for a few days it will all pack back on. Take it slow. Do it right for your body and your seld esteem.

    Also - 16 lbs on most people is a very noticeable weight loss.

    ,,,,,,my problem is that i eat so much when i'm studying ...

    but oh well ^_^ thanks all for your support !!
    So don't do that. Duh,,,

    You're a grown woman. Nobody wrestles you down and stuffs hohos in your face. For you to eat that stuff, you have to pick it up and put it in your mouth - chew - swallow - etc.,,, So if you don't want to do it, don't do it.

    2lbs a week is easy and doable. That's your 88 pounds in 44 weeks,,, which mean bikini next summer easy. You can do it. Just choose to do it, and do it. We're here to help.

    ((Don't write off the chicken - unless it's fried. Skinless chicken breast is one of the best things you can eat. Pan cook it in a little EVOO or Italian salad dressing)).
