    You have to be in a caloric deficit. You need to eat food that will hit your macros. For me it took about 4 months. I also walked everyday for an hour and lifted weights three times a week.

    No unless you had that less than 1% super genetics. Slow an steady wins the race.. Is there any particular reason why it has to be in two months ?

    If the examples you have seen were from magazines promoting supplements you can best believe its fake.

    Start lifting now to preserve the muscle you have. Are you in a caloric deficit?

    My goal is to lose weight and I've done this from lifting what I consider heavy. My weight loss has been much better since lifting so I'd say defo start now!

    Nope just start off with simple things that you can find on YouTube and then as you feel braver you can progress :) I use free weights a lot and then do things like squats , leg press and bench!! I really cannot recommend weight lifting enough it has really worked wonders for me :)

    There are plenty of great apps you can download to get you started and give ideas . Some I use are Body space ( to do with body building . Com ) and a really big one is strong lifts 5x5 ...add me if you like!

    There are programs which will take you through progressive lifting. I have started New Rules of Lifting for Women, but there are many others. Strong Lifts, Starting Strength are two others. I don't remember the rest off the top of my head. There are threads that list them along with many great starting tips. Use the search function, it can be your best friend!

    ETA: Depending on your circumstances, you can also look at convict training. or you are your own gym.

    Great stuff thanks I will search them, I actually have some random stuff laying around like a kettle bell and some strap on weight things and my bf has a weight bench I will get him to show me how that contraption works, I only tend to run and dance at the moment.

    I am losing about 3% Body fat a month and that is with me really going for it. So you would have to pull something absolutely MENTAL to lose 10% body-fat in 2 months. I'm talking insane amounts of exercise on a foolhardy caloric deficit.

    It won't end well is what im saying. Let it take the time it takes. Or you will lose lot's of muscle and bone density in the process.

    im not sure and i dont lift at all i know im supposed to so im going to buy some today

    but whats the best way to use them?
    If you aren't in caloric deficit you won't lose any weight at all. End of story. You need to know how much you are eating in a day and how many calories you should be eating.

    Buy some?? Weights? huh?
