I want to lose weight and tone up. I only have four weeks to achieve this goal!

[what-do-guys-want]

So just a questions to all the health freaks out there ;-)

I've got a school reunion to go to in about a month, and I don't have to loose much weight, possibly 5-10 kegs, and tone up.

I've been running every morning and afternoon for around 30mins.

I've cut out sugar in my tea, and stopped drinking soft drink, and replacing it with water.

I'm not eating after 7 and trying to cut out all bad foods.

Do you think its possible to achieve this in a month?

Also, any other suggestions are welcomed.

than you!

Not "kegs" I mean "kilos".

It's definitely possible

When dieting you're supposed to lose 2-3 lbs or about 1-1.5 kgs your first week then a lb-2 lbs or .5 kg to 1 kg every week after that.

I would recommend that you don't cheat one bit!

And don't eat any fast food or any junk and make sure you don't over work yourself or crash diet because that will have a negative effect. (if you'd like to know why/how this will then let me know) I don't want to type it all on my iPod lol

And make sure you're eating right. I would say carbs are good but do what you think is right.

You're getting good exercise. I would say that evrything else you sre doing is about right. You can reduce your carb intake a little and increase the proteins --- fish and chicken -- a little.

Yes, you can lose 5 kilos (but probably not 5 kegs :)) in a month. I am working with a nutritionist and walking 4 miles per day and lost 15 pounds in a month. You're on track.

Don't stop what you are already doing but try to do more muscle toning exercise too. You will burn more fat while at rest and I suspect you are more concerned about how it looks than what the scale tells you so gaining lean muscle will reduce those inches faster than just losing fat.

[what-do-guys-want]

so like what exactly? squats, lunges etc?

[2confusedgirl]

Those are very affective. Try googling toning exercises, I am sure you will find tons that will work for you.

It's not possible if you're already lean.

Maybe if you're overweight and looking to trim some fat off the edges it's possible. But if you're at a normal weight looking to get ripped and lean it's going to take about 2 months.

You're on the right track though. Try to increase your runs to 45 minutes.

Cut out carbs completely. Eat primarily vegetables and lean meat such as chicken/turkey. This should get you where you want to go. It's worked for me more than a few times. Carbs are the enemy.

Agree with others. 5-10kg in a month is more then moderate dieting. I'd go for a PSMF. Check out Lyle Macdonald's rapid fat loss handbook.
