    It is possible to lose for 20 lbs in 35 days...

    Later, it might create problem for women and i dont know whether it create problem in men.

    You have to consume eat well and also exercise well...

    The problem is: you have to keep following the same routine.

    case 1:- Even if you keep following the same routine, you may lose even more weight and will create health problems in future.

    case 2: If u reduce following the same routine, you immediately might gain weight.

    The bottom line is: Slow and Steady is better rather than fast and furious. (when it comes to weight)

    It looks like most everyone is in agreement that at this point it would be more detrimental than beneficial to push for the 20. Thank you all for you input, I will continue down my path of healthy weight loss and not try to force something that could cause major issues later. Thank you everyone.

    Not unless you chop off an arm. Even if you could, it's just not smart.

    It took me 2 months to lose my first 25 lbs and that was pretty good, I was totally happy with that. But now I want to lose the next 20 in the next 35 days. Is it possible? That averages out to about 4 lbs a week which really seems like a lot. I don't want to hurt myself or do anything that will end up being counter-productive.
    For those who want to know why the push....I turn 35 next month. And for me turning 35 is huge and I would really really really like to hit onederland before I hit 35. Please tell me someone understands.

    Any suggestions, or should I just stay on the path I am on and not push it?
    It's probably possible - but it really depends on how much you weigh currently and if this is your 3rd month because you might hit a plateau.

    I lost 20.2 pounds in 4 weeks following a low fat, low calorie low carb diet with 30 minutes of dog walking a day. I had days I gained weight and days I lost a ton, but over all I averaged 4 pounds a week. My doctor was checking on me regularly at the beginning of the diet (first 3 weeks or so) and I have stayed healthy and had no issues so far.

    If you have 200+lbs to lose otherwise expect 0.5 to 2.0 lbs/week, so in 5 weeks 2.5 to 10 lbs should be expected depending on how much you have to lose.

    The main problem with loosing weight quickly IMO is the skin hang.

    I don't think you can put a time limit to losing weight. Your body will lose when it wants to, not you. I have lost 11lbs in 7 weeks and at first I was disappointed, but I have lost a LOT of inches, so I know I am doing the right thing. Keep following this plan and see what happens, you can push and push and work out as hard as you can and the weight will still not go as fast as you want it to. Good Luck!

    This, and that the faster you lose the higher the % of lean muscle lost as a % of total weight loss, vs. slower weight loss.
