Hey. My name is Chrissie and I have 60lbs to lose by Christmas. We are camping with friends at a seculded beach. So I want to look great. I had a hard marriage break up and took off 35lbs from stress and walking to try to get away from my problems. only to meet a man who is wonderful. We went to dinner alot and had wine with meals. I have now put on all my stress weight loss.. so i need a check in mate to remind me to stay on track. I am in Albany in western Australia. Anyone near would be great. But i will accept friends world wide. Thanks :)

    60 lb in 4 months is 210,000 fewer calories than you burn, or about 1750 calorie deficit each day.
    As a rough estimate, your basic metabolic rate is about 1750 calories each day.

    I suppose you could exercise a lot and earn some calories to eat, but a calorie deficit of 1750 per day is going to be very, very difficult to achieve persistently for 4 months, and I wouldn't want to have to cancel my vacation plans to visit you in hospital for Christmas.

    Hi Chrissie. I just came across your post. Are you still in Albany? Are you still using this site? Haha I know your post is a year old now.
