How do you lose 10 pounds in a month?

You should not lost 10 pounds in a month. 8 should be your max (2 pounds per week) but 1 pound a week is recommended by MFP. Also if you are closer to your goal weight it could be 1/2 a pound a week. Eat fresh fruits and veggies (not processed, frozen, or restaurant foods) and stick to your calorie goals on MFP. Eat at least 1200 a day. If you exercise eat back the calories you burn. Work out inbetween 3-6 times a week. Take at least 1 rest day to let your muscles recover.

Can you give me food examples?
How often to eat them?
How much exercise?

I know everyones weight and height is different, but generally, what do I do?
Basically, I want to lose 35 in three and a half months.
I'm 5'5, 180 pounds. If you need to know that.

I've just opened my diary, feel free to have a look. I had around 32 pounds to lose and I am almost at my goal in three months (I took a month break due to a long trip to Europe during which time I didn't track at all but managed to maintain my weight). Overall while tracking I have been loosing 10 to 12 lbs a month.

(Yeah I know, MFP recommends... I personally like seeing fast results, and losing continuously keeps me motivated. I don't eat junk food, cook most of my meals myself, and make sure to get all my macros and supplements)

Thanks I mean I've always said a calorie is a calorie but certain foods have a lot less calories so then I could eat more.

This is true! I keep high calorie foods at just one serving, or sometimes a half a serving. You can fit in lots of vegetables, and eating a variety of vegetables gives your body more nutrients so that you have more energy for your workouts.

Ten lbs. sounds unhealthy to lose in a month.

it depends on how big you are. You can totally do it if you are far away from goal weight.

It's not unhealthy at all if you are severely obese. I have increased my calories recently to slow it down a bit.

You could try two days of juicing each week - on the days you do not exercise strenuously.
Try veggie juices, berry smoothies, lemonade (with honey)
Along with exercise and carb reduction/control you can lose a substantial amount in a month.
But the juicing can be continued once a week.
This really works

You can totally lose 10 pounds in a month. But, it will take serious dedication to do healthy. It's all math.
I posted this forum a little bit ago. This is how you lose the weight you want in the time you want to lose it.

"Hey you guys,
I'm HORRIBLE at math. So, when I finally found a website that actually broke down the numbers on how to lose weight, I was pretty thrilled!
My attempt in November to lose a certain amount failed. I ate horrible. But, I'm not discouraged, just disappointed. Time to try it again for December

Anyway, if you ever wanted to lose 10 pounds in 30 days, or 15 pounds in 50 days or whatever, here's the math I hope this helps those who have a problem understanding and just need the nitty gritty broken down:

The facts:
3,500 calories equals 1 pound.

The math:
Let's say you want to lose 10 pounds in 30 days.
If 3,500 calories equals 1 pound and you need to lose 10 pounds you multiply 3,500 by 10. (3,500 x 10 = 35,000)
• You need to burn 35,000 calories in 30 days. How much is that a day? (35,000 ÷ 30 = 1,166)
• You need a 1,166 calorie deficit a day to make your goal
{Note: If you want to lose 15 pounds in 45 days or 22 pounds in 60 days, just replace the numbers.}

Now that you have that number, figure out how many calories you will be taking in for that 30 day period.
Let's say you decided to take in 1,400 calories a day.
The math here is add the deficit (1,166) to your daily calorie intake 1400: so, (1400 + 1166 = 2,566)
• You need to burn 2,566 calories a day to make your goal.

The great news! People burn TONS of calories a day just by breathing, driving a car, etc.

So, what's next?

Figure out your BMR (basal metabolic rate) so you know what you need to really burn through exercise alone.
Let's say your BMR is 1800. Here is what you need to burn through exercise alone...the math: (2566 - 1800 = 766)
• You would need to burn 766 calories a day through exercise of whatever kind in order to lose 10 pounds in 30 days.

Something to remember:
This is only math and calories. This is not taking into account hard core workouts like high intensity interval training. So, if you go on the treadmill and stayed on it until you burned 766 calories (if that was your end number) you'd lose your 10 pounds in 30 days.

*Weightlifting adds muscle and muscle burns even MORE calories

By the way, for those not familiar with BMR or how to find out yours, My Fitness Pal has a calculator:

Hope this helps! It definitely helped me and made me feel TONS better to know what I just need to do. Now, if only I just get my butt in gear and do it! lol!"
