    2.5 lbs per week is very possible, but check your numbers and make sure that you are not leading into the starvation mode (I did and gained weight even though I was eating so little). You also want to eat as healthy as possible! So plenty of fruits, veggies with lighter protein and a little of (good for you) complex carbs to carry you through your exercise routine. Good luck and I hope you succeed! :happy:

    Dont spew the starvation myth stuff. It isnt good for the community. Do your research on that topic and you will find no support for it.

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :happy: Oh wait!! :ohwell:

    That isn't what you wanted to see, was it?

    Hell, no it cannot be done! Are you freakin nuts?!?! :grumble: You'll go into starvation mode but instead of starving to death and becoming a skeleton, your body will hold onto to every morsel and turn it to fat and you'll EXPLODE into a million pieces! Like the people at Auschwitz or on a desert island! Why do you think they never find the people?! They starved into fat blobs that exploded!!! :bigsmile:

    Mike it is possible to make it to 160lbs. Stay with 1200 calories a day !! Then walk or run for an hour a day, atleast. Do it when u can...Do not eat after 6pm.. Drink water only...coffee is ok... Remember, No Processed Foods... Meat, (bacon, steak, chicken, turkey,) Salads for lunch... Eat a good breakfast...I eat bacon and eggs for breakfast, wheat toast, 35 cal.
    Try not to eat a lot for supper....Snack on Watermelon, sugar free Popsicles..
    I have lost 60 lbs since April 11 of this year doing this...So if I can do it, so can u!!!

    more on-point... I've lost 30 lbs in 7 weeks. 35 in 12 should be a piece of cake. Unless you eat cake. Then it won't be as easy.

    35 pounds, 3 months, 14 weeks, 2.5 lbs per week. Possible? Likely?

    Yes, it's doable. But it will take very serious work. As a rough guess,
    3 1/2 to 4 hours per day of fitness exercises and around a 1400 calorie
    per day diet, to lose weight that fast healthfully.

    At your size, you're looking at a BMR of, what, 1600? Call it 1800 @ sedentary. You need a deficit of about 9000 calories a week, or 1300 calories a day.

    So basically, either you need to stop eating more or less completely for three months, or start doing crap loads of exercise to create the deficit. By "crap loads" I mean multiple hours a day of burning, burning, burning.

    Does it count if you cut off a foot or a hand?

    Otherwise, I think it is probably pretty unlikely. If you're a former bodybuilder, you already know that a lot of it is going to be muscle, so why would you want to do it anyway?
