    Remember if you are going to the gym mix it up, also remember muscle weighs more than fat so when you may start losing weight it may not show on scale. You will feel better for your vacation and that's what's matters.

    Wrong first post.

    I am going on vacations in exactly 60 days and would like to lose about 35-40 pounds in this period. I have about an hour a day to spare for gym as well as the motivation to eat healthy during this time. I would appreciate any actual advice/success stories rather than the same old "lose weight the safe and steady way."
    Thanks in advance.

    I guess my only recommendation is to pick which leg you want amputated. Amputation is the only guaranteed way to lose 35 to 40 lbs in 8 weeks.

    Hahahah!! Perfect!!

    The op is obviously either misinformed or dillusional as to realistic weightloss goals, and should have started months ago... But they don't want to hear that!

    Oh come on. This is easy. That's why I'm sending you the rainbow unicorn fairy kitten to whisk the pounds away with fairy dust.

    I hear the average human leg weighs about forty pounds. I could take care of that for you in about five minutes...

    Why, did you run out of coconut oil?

    You know what? Maybe I will give you some advice on how to achieve your goal, so that you know what you'd have to put yourself through, rather than just taking our word for it that such a goal is unrealistic.

    To lose 40lbs in 60 days you'd need a calorie deficit of 2,333 calories a day. Work out your TDEE and subtract 2,333 calories from that to know how many calories you need to eat a day. If your TDEE is less than 2,333 it means you'll need to eat nothing for 60 days and do extra exercise to bring your net calories down. I did some research into records for how long people have been able to go without food. The only proven record I could find for more than 60 days was Barry Horne who starved himself for 68 days. "By day 66 he was hallucinating, deaf in one ear and blind in one eye; he could no longer remember why he was on hunger strike."

    I don't know about you, but if I'm going on holiday, I don't want to be hallucinating, half-deaf, half-blind and no longer able to remember why I'm at a beach.

    Thank you for saying that so much more eloquently than I would have. OP, read THIS.

    The most optimistic you could hope for is about 2 pounds per week. Over 2 months, that's about 8.5 weeks, so you could optimistically hope for about 17 pounds of weight loss. I personally have never hit this, averaging only 1.2 pounds per week over 6 months.

    Maybe if you did one of those doctor-supervised VLC (very low calorie) diets you might push this a bit.

    Muscle does not weigh more than fat!!! A pound is a pound whether it be feathers or bricks. Muscle takes up less room than fat (picture a ten pound bag of potatoes strapped to your *kitten* and then picture a ten pound barbell strapped to your *kitten*). Building muscle is beneficial in many ways and there are lots of people on the boards well equipped to discuss it (I am not one of them) but that statement drives me bonkers......
