60 lbs before the summer?

Are you kidding me?

Knock it off.

You didn't gain 20lbs in 2 weeks, then you are NOT going to lose 20lbs in 2 weeks.
It takes time. Start eating at a calorie deficit and continue til you get to your goal weight.
No shortcuts here.

Here's some info to read that hopefully will educate you and give you some insight so you can actually succeed in a healthy way (healthy being both physically and mentally).

:yawn:

No.

Its taken me 7 months to lose 25lbs. I think you're in over your head.

It takes roughly a 3500 calorie deficit to lose one pound. This means it would take a deficit of 35,000 for the week (5,000 calories PER DAY) to burn that off.

To put in perspective, I just looked at my last week's burn with exercise was just under 28,000. Meaning to reach that goal, I would have to add an additional 1,000 calorie burn PER DAY and not eat ANYTHING to achieve this. I am obese, so my BMR is higher than your normal person, and I also exercise 6 days a week as is.

Weight loss is simple math/science. Once you figure this out, you will be much better off.

I started at your weight and have lost 22 lbs in 3 months. That's tracking food very carefully and exercising 6 days a week for at least 2 hours a day.

If you are serious and not just trolling, feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like to go about this the healthy, sustainable way. Slow and steady really does win the day when it comes to losing weight.

Leg amputation.

Thanks for the laugh.......I needed that!

Did you just find out or remember that summer starts in a few months???

Here's a helpful tip: it will also start about twelve months from when it starts this year. Use *that* as a goal date. Meanwhile, implement the necessary steps *now* so you aren't making a post just like this one in twelve months.

This.
It took me almost a year exactly to lose 60 pounds. The good news is, if you start now, imagine where you'll be in 12 months!

Amen.

has anyone lost 60 lbs this quickly???? i need to do this i feel gross with myself i feel like the rate im going now is not going fast enough.... anyone lose 20 in 2 weeks? anything like that, that can help me trigger this weight loss.......... im stuck!

Why is it not going fdast enough? Where's the fire?

Did you put on 60 pounds in under four months? You know you didn't. So it is not possible, feasible or reasonable to expect the weight to come off that fast.

You don't need to, you just want to. Stick with a healthy, sustainable weight loss (keeping your expectations in check) and you'll definitely look better this summer (you have three months). Keep going and you'll look even better NEXT summer.
