    Maybe 15 lbs in 2 months would be a much more reasonable goal.

    Wizzybeth I see in your picture that you have come a long way......would you like to share what helped you in your journey from 245 to 199

    I am 5 7 and weigh 180 pounds! May be I should take it slow and steady....

    That's pretty much my height and size! I would love to lose around 25-30 pounds within the next 4-5 months before I graduate college. I just need to find motivation that lasts more than a week lol.

    My answer is yes just focus on eating fruits and vegetables and you're good to go

    My boyfriend lost 30 in a month, just with exercise and healthy eating. Mind you, he has a lot of weight to lose so that may play a factor, but it is definitely possible!

    Possible yes, sustainable no, and you will be pretty miserable as you'll be hungry for two months. Not trying to discourage you, but why not aim for 2lbs a week, which is healthy, in 9 weeks you can drop 18lbs, if you loose more, great! Personally I find setting myself achievable goals motivates me and keeps me on track. My 33lbs have not come off in two months, and I got another 45 to go!

    Possible? Probably. Healthy? Nope.

    Is losing 30 lbs in two months possible? Or its just another procrastination ........

    Technically, yes.

    To do so would mean burning 1 pound of fat every 2 days.

    That means a calorie deficit of 1750 a day, you would need to consume around 1500 calories a day and burn 750 to 1000 calories a day in quite vigorous exercise. It would be highly non recommended, as you would lose a lot of muscle tissue as well.

    Wow. That's a plan. Do some more research on proper nutrition and try again.

    When I've lost too fast in the past, I gained it back two-fold plus I felt like complete garbage. This time I averaged 2lbs a week which isn't too bad and I feel fabulous!!
