So ive lost a decent amount of weight so far, but i want to know what i can do to speed up weightloss for the next 2 months? basically im going on holiday and would love to loose another 9 pounds before i go but my weightloss has really slowed down.

i was thinking about reducing my sugar intake?

    Normal calories :) but make every single one count ! No processed foods, whatsoever. Not even cereal. No artificial sweeteners.

    There are things that many people claim to speed up your weight loss, like drinking green tea and black coffee ( I do both each day because I like the flavour, lol ) but its worth a shot !

    Also, if you don't have a weight lifting regime, I would get one :) help firm everything up for your vaycay ! :)

    So basically eat cleanly, exercise, lots of fluid. No magic here, but 9lbs in 2 months in totally do-able :) don't get discouraged by the scale though, especially if you start lifting ! Take measurements :)

    Eliminating sugar will probably yield the best results. You'll be shocked at what a difference that makes. Of course.. that makes your diet a keto diet so much of your lost weight will be water, but it will work in reducing weight.

    Try intermittent fasting - Only eat between 12pm and 8pm and still take in your daily caloric intake. Works well for me.

    A high intensity workout could help. I like Insanity, and have seen some good results over this first week, but you can pick your poison: heavy weight, total cardio (swimming, for instance), cross-ft, etc. Find something to really make you push yourself, and it can knock your body out of routine and help jump start weight loss.

    Good for you! thats REALLY HARD!

    but on the subject of boosting your weight loss, the 5:2 fasting technique is doing wonders for lots of people, it should shock your body into doing what you want it to do
