30+ pounds to loose in 2 months!

I've tried every quick trick,,, even lap band surgery - NOTHING WORKED! i started counting calories and watching what i was eating and tracking it and drinking a ton of water... 1 oz for every 2lbs of weight. anyway, i am (or the first time ever) loosing weight at a healthy pace and sticking to it.

hope this helps - do not buy the pills - if they worked wouldn't we all be skinny good luck!

Diet pills don't work. Just look at the back label and it even tells you "USE WITHA SENSIBLE DIET AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER" ......
If you want to lose that much weight in. 2 months it's not impossible, but only exercising 3x a week may not be enough. Counting your calories, drinking lots of water will help you feel full longer too.

Good luck

Not sure how tall you are and your current weight, but 30+ pounds in only 2 months seems like an unrealistic goal and if you push too hard for that (ie, the diet pills) you will likely just yo-yo with your weight and ultimately do more harm than good and do a number on your body. Why the rush to loose so quicky?

Ditto to what she said :-).

Hey! Thats a very ambitious goal. But its very possible. I was able to loose about 25 lbs in 2 months but it involved going to the gym every day and changing my eating habits completely. You will loose this weight if you eat right, you don't have to go to the gym every day but to loose 30 lbs you should try to go about 5 days a week. You should also be consistent and patient, you wont see results right away but they will come, don't give up! Best of luck! and remember Four things 1. Eat Right 2. exercise 3. Do it Consistently 4. Be Patient

I would really loooove to achieve it! I just don't know...Doing workout 3x a week and really watching what I eat. I have a baby and a toddler so they keep me busy. I'm drinking a cup of green tea a day, would that help? I read it helps with something...lol
I'm so tempted to buy diet pills!!!! :ohwell:

I think its very possible to lose 30lbs in 2 months. That's actually my current goal now. And just so that people know I'm not talking out of my a**. I started my weightloss journey on Jan10th this year and since then have lost 45lbs in 3months. That's about 15lbs a month. So ya 30 lbs is very doable.

I must warn you though I worked very hard to get there. I workout 2hrs everyday 5 days a week and watch my calorie intake very strictly. The smaller you get the harder its gonna be so you have to learn to keep pushing yourslef to achieve your goals, GOOD LUCK! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:


NB: for anyone curious, I'm 5'3, and started at 236lbs

You started out with a high body fat percentage. The closer you get to the fit range the less weight you will lose.

Depending on your height and current weight 30lbs in 8 weeks is over reaching if you are anywhere near a normal BMI or Body Fat percentage.

I am well aware of this, which is why i said the smaller you get/are the harder its gonna be...

It took me about 3 months to lose 25lbs and that's exercising about 5 days a week (gaining back about 450cal per exercise day) I haven't been that strict on how much I eat (although it is a lot less than before) but I have been sure to eat the right foods. I've noticed that I get full a lot faster and have stopped myself eating more just because I like the taste of something.

In saying that it's possible to lose 30lbs in 2-3months but it depends on your starting weight. I was 226lbs and am down to 199lbs. The first 20lbs came off quickly but the weight loss has now slowed down.

Try not to lose too much weight too quickly because in the long run, you're likely to put it back on because it may be an unsustainable diet/exercise routine. I see MFP as a lifestyle changing tool, not a way of achieving short term goals.
