I had a goal.of 60lb weight loss by August for my vacation/ family reunion. I started 1 year ahead of time, and in the last 9 months I've managed to lose 40 lbs. How can I lose the last 20 in just 3 months HELP, I need suggestions

    40lbs in 9 months is awesome! Unless you are obese, losing another 20lbs in 12 weeks is asking a lot of yourself. Aim to lose one pound a week at most. Remember that the scale isn’t everything, you can include some strength training along with a slower rate of loss to help you to achieve the body shape you’re after.

    Forty pounds is already amazing but the next 20 will be slower. It probably won’t happen by August. You will get closer though.

    2 pounds a week is doable, but it's tough. 1 and 1/2 would be easier, and that would put you at 18 pounds.

    Awesome job on your progress so far!

    If you will be at your final goal in another 20 pounds, it's more sustainable to take more than 3 months to lose it.
