    Forgive me if I'm wrong but that seems right if it's a keto diet? I've seen results like that with those kinds of diets.

    I didn't initially want to respond to this post because I didn't want to fuel the negativity/"haters" haha.

    But I'm going to respond because I do want to give hope to those of you who are struggling like I was, and I want you guys to know it IS possible.

    First of all, while not easy, losing 10 pounds a month is possible, considering weight loss is all a mathematical equation. It works out to about 2.5 pounds a week.

    How I did it:

    1) I cut out sugar and non-vegetable carbohydrates as much as possible
    2) exercised (cardio) 6x a week for an hour. This was moderate intensity exercise (cardio classes at the gym or elliptical at level 10/11)
    3) limited calorie intake to 1200 calories daily

    It's actually fairly simple.

    Also, according to my BMI at least, I am within the "healthy" weight range, so I'm confused as to why people are claiming I'm underweight?

    Uh huh. :huh:

    I agree. I am somewhat skeptical of this post.

    Why are you skeptical? I believe her. I lost 53 in 3 months so it is totally possible

    I don't see why either....According to all the "healthy" weight range charts I should weight 125-135 and I am 5'8". You are perfectly fine in the range. Good job cutting out the sugar and sticking to your calories.

    I have a friend who's 5'7 and 120-125 and no one's complained about her being underweight, she's happy with it, and looks healthy slim.

    That's awesome - I'm a few years older but the same height. I was 118 when I graduated from high school & constantly got comments about how I was too skinny, but I ran daily as a track star, so it was kinda of a nonissue for me.

    I graduated college around 150, and got married 2 years later at 155. I liked that weight, but wanted to lose about 10 to 15 pounds.

    Fast forward, I topped out at 212 about 2 years ago. I managed to get down to 167, and to put on about 20 in the last year. I'm restarting & shooting for 140. We'll see what happens along the way.

    Congrats to you - if you are happy at 120 screw what everyone else says. It's not unhealthy if you are in shape & eating right!

    The healthy weight range for 5'7 is 118-158. So no, it's not underweight.

    Uh huh. :huh:

    Why do you constantly come into every post with your negativity? So uncalled for. If you don't like it, move along. Your level of snark is amazing. It's exactly why I deleted you off my friends list. Oh, and reported.

    And here you come again, being the sidekick to the snark.....this gets sooooo old :yawn:

    Oh really? And your basis for that is...?

    I'm 5'7, fluctuate around 130-135lbs, and would not be "underweight" if I got down to 120lbs.
