Can i lose 40 pounds in 3months?

I think so. That's what i'm aiming for! 37 more lbs to go until my 8/31 bday

It depends what is your current weight. I lost 80 pounds in 3 months by counting calories and excersising 4-5 times a week. Still have 135 pounds to go to my goal. But I know I can do it by ths Christmas.

Anyway, good luck in achieving your goal. I know you can do it and it is possible.

In order to lose 40 lbs in 3 months, that would mean you'd need to lose 13.3 lbs per month. That would be 3.325 lbs per week. It's generally recommended that people lose no more than 2 lbs per week. I'd shoot toward the end of October to make your goal a little more realistic. Especially since you're only exercising "once in awhile" and you don't have a strenuous work out regime. Best of luck to you!

It's possible...if you have a strict diet, never stop exercising, always are motivated, and always have willpower. I don't want to be a debbie downer but I just want you to hear the realistic answer. Have realistic expectations. 40 lbs in 3 months is possible, yes, but everyone has lives. Everyone has kids or a job or school and temptations. Everybody falls off the wagon and ends up with a week or more here and there where they didn't lose...whether it's a lot of sodium, changing your workout routine, your body going through changes, whatever. Trust me. I lost my first 20 lbs easy and thought I could loes my 40 lbs starting from January and lose it by end of summer but it didn't happen. I got to the point where I had to start eating more but it took me 2 months to figure that out. Then I changed my workout and had to wait a few weeks for my body to get used to it to see results again. Then I fell off the wagon. Then I got back to the weight I was when I started and got to cycle through the same problems again.

That is more than 3lb a week. If you are extremely overweight, and if you take lots of hard exercise, and if you monitor your calories very well, you MIGHT achieve 3lb a week for a while, but if your goal weight you're talking about is your final goal weight ie one at which you don't have an unhealthy amount of fat, your weight loss is going to slow right down as you reach that goal.

Eventually you may only be losing half a pound a week - so no I don't think that you are going to lose 40lb by August.

How you could have done it is by starting to count every calorie, and get lots of exercise, three months ago. Hopefully by thinking about that you'll realise that the time to start is now. Even if you don't lose anything like 40lb, you can still lose a LOT in three months. Certainly enough to make a big difference.

It's possible but I've heard that losing any more than 1 lb of week does not give your skin a chance to adjust to your weight loss and you end up with more flabby skin that way. I can't speak from experience but it seems to make sense.

I think so... That's my goal!

I would say yes, i understand it says 1-2 lbs per week, but if you are eating right and working out and losing more that can't be bad as long as you are not starving yourself.
