How do I lose 20 pounds in 3 months?

Eat healthy, exercise, drink more water - simple. Good luck

I see people do it and if I lose 2 pounds a week that's 24 pounds in three months but hooow? Just eating in my macros and working out? Will that really work? How do I stick to it?

1. You stick with it by not trying to stick with it (forget about wight loss and expectations)
2. You can/should only lose 2lbs a week if you're heavy.

So if you're not obese don't even try to do it. Focus on your calories and get the results you get. You can't tell your body how fast to lose weight, it's not up to you. So forget about that.

This is so true! Your body is going to acclimate to the changes you make at the pace that it wants to. I've realized when I STOP focusing on calories and blah blah blah I actually lose weight!(at a slow pace but it's better than nothing. It's better than obsessing over numbers, freaking myself out, and remaining at the same weight or gaining!) When I focus on eating healthy and working out because it's GOOD for me and makes me feel good, my body responds to that in a positive way. I know it's different for everyone but I just wanted to say that I agree with this completely and I need to remember that trying to strategically lose X number of pounds will not bring me one step closer to my goals, but eating healthy because it's good for my body will. Even if I think this won't lead to any actual weight loss because I'm not "trying", it actually does! Crazy how this stuff works. :-) lol

I have lost 21 lbs since 2/3....It can be done. I have only missed 2 or 3 days of working out in 3 months and stick to clean diet. It's a commitment but can be done. Good luck!

It can be done, but I takes me 6 months to lose 12 pounds..I have lost and regained those 12 pounds 10 times...now its taking me a month to lose a pound..because I go up and down weekly. Its maddening. You can lose 20 pounds in 3 months, plenty of people do..I would be happy with 15 in 3...5 pounds a month..thats all I have to lose and it does not want to come off.

From your username I take it you are vegetarian? Have you tried eating more fish and fats as a % of your diet? I tried losing weight by being a vegetarian, didn't work, I worked out a ton. I switched more to a primal diet and ate some carbs but excercised less did yoga, cut out salt and sugar, and the weight started pouring off, 205 to 185 lbs. in 3 months (I'm 6'0 and male).

Our bodies are designed to eat meat and fat, fat doesn't make you fat, sugar makes you fat, salt and water retention make you bloated and lazy.
