    You will die if you starve yourself.......and..............fat loss and weight loss are two very different things.

    Well, I suppose if you think about it in weeks, that is 12 weeks, and if you lost 2 pounds a week, that's 24 pounds. And, it's also possible that you'll several more pounds your first week if you're just starting and it's water weight. So. You probably won't die. Good luck! :)

    I'd honestly say reset your expectations, and aim for a 1 to 2lb a week of fat loss.

    I'd say forget weight loss, scales are stupid. Measure your body fat then concentrate on reducing it and gaining some muscle.

    Eat clean, a good balance between cardio and strength training. Totally doable if you focus 100%

    I did it. I logged EVERYTHING. Some weeks I would regain the same 2-3 pounds, but that's when I was allowing cheat weekends lol. I workout 7 days per week, running and mostly walking. My light workout days are a 2 mile walk/run. You got it, good luck = )

    I lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks...but it was quite the effort. Hired a trainer for 2 days a week, did a mix of cardio and strength training 4-5 days a week. Kept myself on a somewhat strict diet - contained to 1800-2000 calories - almost never eating back calories from exercise (and NEVER starved myself). NO alcohol, fried foods, desserts, white bread...all out the window. I continue to measure and weight everything. It's been tough...but worth the continued effort. Good luck.
