60LBS to lose

I have lost 65 lbs since may 7th. It IS possible and you can do it! I cut out sugar and wheat for health reasons and it helped me loose the weight. I have also swam walked and hiked. when I started it was hard to walk for 5 minutes. friend me if you want some help and support.

Absolutely,I started 12 months and 2 weeks ago, I'm down 75 lbs. I'm only 5 foot tall.I weigh and measure, toe the line on my calories allotment.I do have rare binges, mostly at the holidays.Its so awesome,go for it, you can do it too!!!read the book the beck diet solution,it helped me.

Absolutely possible. I went from 195lbs(88kg) to 153(69) in 9 months. According to the online bmi that put me at just out of overweight into normal at 164(74). 39yrs old, 5'8"(172cm), male. During that time I ate a ton of food so you should get better results if you follow a good calorie count. The best thing I ever learned is very simple: you have to burn more calories than you take in. When I kill a carton of cookies I know the next day I will be riding my bike and hitting the weights for 2 hours to make up for it. When I went to lose the last 10lbs I just stayed within my calorie count and doubled my workload and lost it in about two weeks. I have since moved back up to 164 because I didn't feel good at 153 and I can still crush the "bad" foods while staying within the recommended calorie count(but still working out, Insanity by Shaun T worked for me). Good luck and stay at it. The people on here are very encouraging so when something isn't going right reach out and they will support or give advice!

You can even do that first several weeks at a loss of 2 pounds a week as it's easier to keep a deficit in the beginning, then transition to 1 pound a week, then when you're nearing you're goal and it's harder to lose weight you can slow down to a loss of .5 pounds a week.

Remember that your diet is 90% of the battle. Exercise builds strength and assists your body in building muscle which will help fuel your metabolism and burn more calories efficiently; however your diet will be the deciding factor in your success at the end of the day.
I have a lot of old sports injuries that seem to crop up here and there so I have weeks where I can only walk and not do my gym workout. Since I am 100% committed and my diet is always spot on I still lose at least 2 lbs per week, if not a bit more. I eat a well balanced, very clean, diet.
We are currently right around the same stats. I eat a minimum of 1300 calories on days I don't do a workout, maybe just a walk, and bump that up by 100-250 on days I do workout, the amount depends on the intensity.
I typically eat 3 solid meals per day and always incorporate a protein, veg, and carb at each meal. Some days if im still hungry i have a cup of cucumber slices or snap peas in the afternoon but since I eat quite cleanly I find that it is a lot of food so rarely have the snack.
I also save enough calories every day to have my one square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate after dinner. My husband has to get it for me as I don't want to see the whole chocolate bar, just my one square, ha ha.
I don't feel deprived, If I want something then i make sure it fits into my calories that day, it may be a smaller portion tho.
I have lost 22 lbs since Jan 15th by following this. I have written on my office calendar each week my anticipated weight if I lose 2 lbs per week. This takes me to the 3rd week of October. I do know that sometimes life will get in the way and I may not hit 2 lbs each week, but overall it has seemed to average just that over time as this week I AM the exact weight that I anticipated when I wrote out my calendar in January.
Feel free to add or message me anytime as we are pretty much in the same boat right now, well except for I have a few years on you.
