Can I get in shape in 3 weeks?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'6 and 129 pounds, but my measurements are larger than normal for someone of my weight. I have a 27 inch waist and my thighs at the top are 22 inches. I have large love handles and look really flabby. I think it is due to a lack of muscle because I lost a lot of it after a surgery over the summer.

I am going away for spring break in 3 weeks and want to feel confident in a bikini so for 2 weeks now I have been doing kettlebell workouts in addition to brisk walking 4 miles a day to school. I haven't noticed any results even though i weigh my food and stick to 1600 cals a day. Is there something else I should be doing? I don't really want to lose pounds as much as I want to replace fat with muscle. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

There is no such thing as getting bikini fit and trim in 3 weeks, and you're all just kidding yourselves if you imagine there is.

If you REALLY gave a shit, you'd have started getting shape long before now. instead of trying to half-ass it with 3 weeks to go.

You obviously can't read. I said I started weight lifting 2 weeks ago and I have been doing cardio for 3 months.

unless you get cholera or ebola ( :-) ), don't expect to burn all fat in 3 weeks and you don't gain much muscle in 3" weeks. This proces takes time. But go on with what you do abd be happy with what you achieve

Try doing HIIT the next few weeks. You'll for sure see a difference. Try to limit carbs too.

Totally in shape? No. Drop a few pounds? Maybe.

There is no way.
