    Says the spammer who has been here since Dec 2011 and whose ticker reads 0lbs lost 60lbs to go.

    Wow! I want real results like that! NOT!!

    So why did you create an account on MFP then? To try to sell your product to people?

    Not necessarily. And we don't support spamming/advertising at all.

    For any lurkers, please note that spamming/advertising/selling of products or services is against the Community Guidelines. This holds true not just for the forums, but for groups, feeds, and private messages. Please report this to a mod if someone is doing this.

    Just do your best each day. Creating artificial expectations can lead to discouragement when you fall off pace. All you can do is make healthy food choices and move some each day. 2 months is 9 weeks and it would be very difficult to lose 20 or more pounds over that time...especially if you're not sure what you're doing. But, heck, if you can lose 15 pounds in 2 months, that's 15 fewer pounds than you are today.

    As for Insanity, I do not recommend it. Potentially very bad for the knees. Last summer I was mad at myself for gaining a bunch of weight back so I did Insanity thinking it was the "quick fix". The only thing I quickly fixed was effing up my knees. I mean, I did the 60 days...but I did it through increasing knee tendonitis because I'm just too dang stubborn sometimes. I went ahead and exercised 3 more weeks after that until I just couldn't handle the increasing pain in my knees...so I stopped exercising altogether, got discouraged, stopped eating healthy, and gained all of the weight I lost during Insanity plus some more before the end of the year. Fortunately, I got my head screwed on straight by the end of the year and beginning in January, I started doing it the right way again.

    Anyway, keep in mind that nutrition controls about 80% of fat loss. You can do all the exercise you want, but if the eating part isn't down pat, you're not going to lose any weight (for an example, go to YouTube, search for "Craig Ballantyne diet vs. exercise" and watch one or more of those episodes. As for exercise, do something you enjoy and that pushes you some given your current fitness level. For me, Insanity was not enjoyable...and that was true even before the knee pain started. I had to "make" myself do it each day...and that's just not something I want to do with exercise. Actually, most folks exercise more than they really need to....sometimes having a detrimental effect on weight loss because the body isn't given enough time to heal.

    Check out this objective article comparing P90X, Insanity and Rushfit...and you will see that Insanity falls way short in most part because its not scientifically put together all that well and has a greater risk of injury. http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/1443/p90x-insanity-and-rushfit-a-side-by-side

    hey, fatcity.....i get it! got work out or something!

    Attacking/insulting someone is also not allowed here. I highly suggest you read the Community Guidelines.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines

    i'm the one being attacked!! for making a mistake, i'm the one being harassed! i highly suggest you back off!

    No one is attacking you. We are simply telling you that what you are doing is not allowed. If you can't handle being told that, I don't know what to tell you.

    Going to assume you still did not read the rules. Let me help you out a little. Even if you feel "attacked", it is your responsibility to report it if you feel the need. Even if you actually are (which you aren't), you are still not to "retaliate".

    Again. Read the rules. It's usually the thing you are supposed to do when you participate in something.

    I'm here to support and encourage people to use MFP as it is intended, because it works. And it's free.
    I also support and encourage people not to get roped into fads/pyramid schemes/weight loss supplements/cleanses/whatever . Losing weight and getting fit doesn't have to cost any money or require any special products.

    you could do a juice fast or juice feast but most people tend to gain weight when they're done with it (more than they had to start with) because they just gorge themselves. There is also water fasting but its EXTREME and you really need a doctor's supervision for it.
    My best advice is to shoot for 2 pounds a week and accept that you should have started sooner. You could also wear a corset under your dress, might not sound flattering but it makes you really skinny looking.

    This also goes against MFP rules.

    Look. No one is attacking you. You posted advertising a product, which is not only against the rules but is frankly one of the most annoying parts of these boards. You aren't an isolated incident, you're a part of an ongoing issue on the boards which pisses people off. When you were told that what you were doing was wrong, you didn't delete your post or apologise, you tried to justify and then got uppity. You're still uppity. There are very very good reasons why you can't advertise your product, you aren't special, neither is your product. Accept it and move on.

    Dude, are you serious? Does promoting autism awareness advertise the selling of a line of weight loss products? Come on. It's common sense.

    Yes please. Report the abusers/spammers, and get back to the actual topic at hand? I think everyone has made their points.

    You're not actually being attacked. Someone pointed out to you that your post violates the rules. Most people would reply with "Ooops, I didn't realize that. I'm sorry." But you fought back. And you continue to fight back. Nobody has attacked you at all, just reminded you of the rules. Maybe it's time to listen.

    Try optifast 800. You will have to drink four shakes a day and that's it. It does work. You will more than likely lose around 4lbs a week.

    Why do you have to be 150 at this particular event? Is there going to be a weigh-in? Of course not. Nobody but you will know your exact weight. Eat well, exercise wisely, and go to the wedding in a fantastic outfit that flatters your body at whatever weight you happen to be when the date comes.

    This is the best advice in this thread. Do exactly that.

    OMG, i just can't win with you people! And don't you dare start going off on me about autism. Look, I"m sorry I pissed you people off. Seriously. Get over it. I'm sorry. Let it go. I am truly sorry that I broke a rule. It will never happen again! Done. Period!

    You are kidding me, right? Did you not read the thread? Did you somehow miss where numerous people said you cannot promote the use of weight loss products?

    For your current weight, that's far too overreaching of a goal. You could shoot for 2 lbs a week but even that's a bit much for your current weight. You'd be better served if you set a realistic goal and went for 1 to 1.5 per week. Better yet, don't set a weight loss time period goal. Just start eating at a deficit now and by the time the next wedding rolls around, you'll have hit your goal and maybe more. Don't set yourself up for yo-yo dieting, disappointment and possibly negative health consequences.

    I was gave 1 month and 1 week notice of my sisters wedding which I am the Maid of honor in. I weighed in today and am at -20 pounds. I did it in 1 month by eating like 500-.800 calories every day which 90% consisted of fruits and vegetables. This may not be the healthiest way but it worked for me.

    To answer the OP question. I lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks. I ran 3 miles in the morning and 2 miles at night and lifted 4x-5x a week. It was for a weight loss challenge. Link here for pics:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1141281-7-weeks-20-pounds-6-inches-with-pics

    Please don't starve yourself, I did a 20% calorie reduction from my TDEE.
