Women- Have any ladies out there lost 60 lbs in 6 months?

55lbs in 5 months (to the day now that I look at it). I went from 225lbs to 170lbs...still have a long way to go but I'll get there!!

1. Eat clean. No breads, pastas, potatoes, starchy crap, added sugars etc. Oatmeal and quinoa on occasion but not daily. I do have carb days every fee weeks where I can load up
2. 1200 cals a day
3. High protein and eating good fats. White fish, salmon, turkey and chicken are your friends.
4. 10 almonds and 1 TBSP of natural peanut butter a day
5. Cod liver oil and vitamin D (1000iu) twice a day
6. vitamin b6, b12 and c once a day
7. Whey or some high absorbing protein after workouts
8. Green tea to your heart's content
9. Coffee for the boost before the gym. Black of course and never have it 4 hours post-workout
10. No alcohol
11. Veggies!!!! Nom nom nom. Broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers and spinach especially. Anytime.
12. 1 egg and 2 egg whites daily
13. Workout 6 days a week. high impact cardio for 20-30 mins. Weight lifting the rest. Lift before cardio, btw
14. Eat leaner proteins like fish at night. Chicken during the day. It helps a bit but it isn't a deal breaker
15. Control fruits. 1 fruit for me is good enough. Avoid high carb ones like grapes and bananas (even though I love them oh so much)

Anyways this works for me and hopefully you'll be able to get a fee ideas for yourself. Not everyone is made equally and I'm sure I'll hit a plateau soon. If it doesn't feel right then tweak it because our bodies are more mysterious than rabbit in a magician's hat

I lost 65 in 6 months. There were several stalls in there if a few weeks. Just be patient and consistent and the weight will come off.

I usually netted between 1200-1400 a day, but I had splurge days where I was closer to 3000. Not often, but for special occasions. But the biggest thing for me was doing it in a way I feel like I can maintain for the rest of my life. I ate healthy whole foods and became picky about what I splurged on.

Generally if I can have it any time I want (comes from a box or a can, or normal fast food or restaurant) then it wasn't worth it. But I definitely splurged for special treats. But only when I planned ahead. I decided not to trust last minute cravings.

very true that everyone is different. I haven't cut out anything altogether and have loads of carbs. I still eat bread...English muffins are my favourite thing. I have either quinoa, wild rice or barley every day....and also sweet potato which is a starch. obviously this hasn't posed any problems to my weight loss and I'm not sure what about a food is supposed to make it 'clean' or not, but I don't think those grains and the potato in particular are terribly ''dirty''...lol. I mean, maybe the English muffin since it's 'processed'. But I will still eat them and love every minute of it without a problem.

great job ppl !

I after the birth of my second child I could not lose the 60 pounds, I tried everything and nothing worked. It was a nutritionist who showed me that all body fat is inflammation body fat and it gets harder to remove as you get older or after having a child. She taught me how to reverse this with "Certain Food combination", it works. Copy and paste the link below to see how to do this. It works to lose 60 pounds.

Hi - yes, I have lost about 66 pounds in 5 months. I did it by going on an anti-inflammation food plan which is no wheat, no sugar, no dairy and very few starches. Lots of meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, beans, lentils, and occasionally almonds. It sounds really difficult, but after about the first 2 weeks the cravings stop, and after about 6 weeks I don't even get hungry anymore. I eat about 1200 calories a day and eat back my exercise calories. Exercise consists of brisk walking as many times a week as the local weather allows. To add to all this - I am 59 years old, so my metabolism is not as active as women younger than I am - Good luck!
You can do it!

I'm at 50 lbs in 5 months. Cheating will really set you back. I have had a few cheats that stalled me for a week or so and it's easy to feel demotivated when you are not moving in the right direction. I also don't exercise, but pulled my bike out of storage this week so I can keep up with this rate of loss. I have been doing about 1,600 cal a day, but went down to 1,200 when I stopped doing really any kind of movement and am planning on upping it again once I get a solid routine going I am also doing low carb, but you certainly don't have to to be successful.

Thats amazing! It sound a lot like Paleo diet. What it hard to keep up with it? did you ever cheat?

I'm on track for it... I'm almost at 5 months and I've lost 50. 10 pounds in a month is completely doable.

Changed how I was eating.. I weigh and measure everything.. cut out bad snacking and got moving... I had/have alot to lose though. I started over 300 pounds.

Don't ask .. just go for it ... get as far as you can without second guessing your ability to do it ... SOMETHING IS POSSIBLE .... you will get somewhere and that is better than where you are now right?

Looks like you got some great role models and potential support here just by starting the thread! Good luck!!

I needed this! I came on here to see what everyone had to say and then when I read this it clicked... Everyone is different and there are so many things to take in account... Thanks!!
