Did you just find out or remember that summer starts in a few months???

Here's a helpful tip: it will also start about twelve months from when it starts this year. Use *that* as a goal date. Meanwhile, implement the necessary steps *now* so you aren't making a post just like this one in twelve months.

This.
It took me almost a year exactly to lose 60 pounds. The good news is, if you start now, imagine where you'll be in 12 months!

Summer starts in a few months? :noway:

It takes roughly a 3500 calorie deficit to lose one pound. This means it would take a deficit of 35,000 for the week (5,000 calories PER DAY) to burn that off.

To put in perspective, I just looked at my last week's burn with exercise was just under 28,000. Meaning to reach that goal, I would have to add an additional 1,000 calorie burn PER DAY and not eat ANYTHING to achieve this. I am obese, so my BMR is higher than your normal person, and I also exercise 6 days a week as is.

Weight loss is simple math/science. Once you figure this out, you will be much better off.

Amen.

Ummmm. No. :noway:

Maybe summer 2015 - if you're dedicated.

You must have made a typo right? You meant to say 20 pounds in 20 weeks right? Please say you made a mistake.:noway:

has anyone lost 60 lbs this quickly???? i need to do this i feel gross with myself i feel like the rate im going now is not going fast enough.... anyone lose 20 in 2 weeks? anything like that, that can help me trigger this weight loss.......... im stuck!

Why is it not going fdast enough? Where's the fire?

Did you put on 60 pounds in under four months? You know you didn't. So it is not possible, feasible or reasonable to expect the weight to come off that fast.

Ask Rachel Frederickson how she did it and you'll see that it wasn't the healthy way!! Wow if only I could take a magic pill to make me super skinny!!

You don't need to, you just want to. Stick with a healthy, sustainable weight loss (keeping your expectations in check) and you'll definitely look better this summer (you have three months). Keep going and you'll look even better NEXT summer.

Took me 7 months to lose just over 70lbs...no way in hell you are losing that much that fast.

I've lost 53lbs in 10mos!! I believe I lost 20ish lbs the first 2 months, then it slowed down.

Stop with the quick fixes. Eat at a deficit, exercise, drink loads of water and take it slow. Slow and steady wins the race.

while we are at it, why not 60 pounds in two weeks????

Seriously, OP you need to stop, take a breath, and just focus on consistent, healthy weight loss. You did not get obese in two weeks, and you are not going to lose it all in two weeks either.

I would say..

focus on maintaining a 500 calorie daily deficit.
work out/move more
do not restrict foods; go with the 80/20 rule, 80% healthy and 20% whatever you want..cake, cookies, ice cream, pizza, etc…
only weigh yourself once a week….
it is a marathon, not a sprint
and there are no quick fixes.

Christmas is possible, and next spring/summer is even more plausible. And even then, you're losing more than 1 lb a week, which is average. But that doesn't mean you can't get fit and healthy by the time summer comes around. If you dedicate your time to working out very often and eating extremely healthy, you will like the physical results more than the results on the scale and will see physical results faster than your goal on the scale.
