in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm new here, and I'm in desperate need of help! I lost weight 7 years ago and I've kept it off until this last year and I've gained IT ALL BACK. I guess a lot of it was due to stress. I'm ready to lose the weight. I have 30 pounds to lose! I know they say fast weight loss isn't healthy, but has anyone lost 20 pounds in one month? My goal is to intake 1200 calories a day and burn 1200. Has anyone burned all the calories they've consumed? And if so, how much were you able to lose? thank you!

    Hi there 86.....,
    Alarm bells ring when I think of you trying to lose so much so quickly. Trust that the weight will come off, but you need to adopt a sensible eating plan, exercise and address the underlying reasons why you gained the weight in the first place. I suspect that you will feel miserable if you try to do what you describe. 30lbs is very little to lose....and if you approach this from the standpoint of a lifestyle change for a lifetime, I would bet you will be very successful. Remember that your body is your temple....treat it well and you will live long and healthily into your twilight years. How do I know this? At 62 I am doing P90X..... and even I can do this....and it is fun most of the time.
    Take care.....
