Normally I would say no, but a guy I know just lost around that in a little over two months. He eats healthy and works out every day. He went from overweight to a little pudgy and now he's working on getting muscle. So I think if you work hard at it, you could. He could be an exception though. I know he said he ran half a marathon every day after work. I think that's 20 km or a little more. He used to be a runner in his younger days too though, but he had an accident and gained weight.
I do think as long as you workout and eat healthy, you should be able to lose a decent amount. I honestly think a combination of cardio and weight lifting will help, although you'll gain weight in muscle, which isn't bad.
If you try to lose that much that fast you're going to make yourself sick. Why don't you just start adjusting your lifestyle TODAY so that you can make small sustainable changes that improve your overall wellness. Then add those healthy changes to your gym membership.
Your question and your answer options don't match. But to answer your question, I would say you could lose 16 pounds in 2 months - at least in a healthy way. Any more weight than that could be and probably is a health hazard. I was told you shouldn't lose more than 4 pounds a week, at most. So, even if you truly could lose 4 pounds a week, that would only lose you 32 pounds. Why are you trying to lose so much weight in a very small period of time? Get yourself a personal trainer or a health coach. You don't want to lose too much weight in a short period of time. Or maybe ask your primary care provider (doctor).
Exercise alone won't help you lose weight. What you need to do is start tracking how many calories you eat. 3500 calories is the equivalent of 1 lb so in general if you are about 500 less calories per day over a 1 week period you'd lose 1 lb. Your plan is about 12 weeks so assuming you do as I suggest along with doing light cardio 3 times a week I'd say a good goal for you would be to lose 15 to 20 lbs over those 12 weeks. I'm currently studying to become a personal trainer and have been lifting for 2+ years so I know what I'm talking about.

maybe if you workout like crazy and starve yourself, but that's not the ideal way to do it. even then you might not lose 60lbs that fast haha what you want to do is aim for 1-3lbs per week. it's the healthiest way to lose weight and maintain it instead of just gaining it all back. that would mean you could lose between about 9 and 27lbs give or take a few depending on how disciplined you are. cut back on junk food, increase your fruits and vegetables and lean proteins, and workout 4-6 days a week. don't deprive yourself of food because you could end up binging on them later. allow yourself treats and don't assume that if you accidentally have a really unhealthy meal or day you screwed up your entire plan because that's not how it works. it's about balance. and remember that the scale isn't always the most reliable especially since muscle weighs more than fat. best of luck!
60lbs of fat? If you're morbidly (pardon the phrase) overweight it's plausible.
60lbs in general... no.
Why? You gain muscle. So balancing gain and loss is a factor. And that muscle passively burns calories... so you definitely want to gain that to keep the fat from coming back. IMHO diet plans should push strength as opposed to cardio. Build up the calorie burning capacity and then work off the extra flab naturally as opposed to throwing all that strain on the joints and such. Swimming of course being exempt.
It may be possible, but it depends. I lost 15 pounds in 17 days just by doing the 17 Day Diet, which I suggest you do if you want to lose weight in a quick and healthy way. The diet consist of high protein and low carbs. After each cycle of 17 days you increase you carb intake, but you do low carb days and high carb days. It is like Carb Cycling. Carb cycling is very very effective in losing weight because it tricks the metabolism by stopping your body from plateauing. In result you keep shedding fat. I lost about 35 pounds in a month by doing the 17 day diet and I barely exercised, lol. I hope this helps.
That is impossible, and unhealthy. If you stick to a strict diet, drink plenty of water, make sure you have your meals at appropriate times in addition to making sure you go to the gym 4-5 times a week then you should lose 1kg a week (works for me!)
I'm happy to explain if you need it :)
Lol I'm 100% certain that you cannot lose 60lbs in 2 months. You could, however, lose 30lbs if you are really, really disciplined and motivated.
I think that you'll need about 4-6 months to lose 60 pounds, since healthy weight loss is about 2 pounds per week. So if you lose around 8-10 per month you might be able to get 30 pounds down in that time frame. I would recommend setting short term monthly goals first just so you don't feel overwhelmed. That way you'll be adjusting your goals regularly instead of waiting to see if you can lose x amount by the time your membership ends!
It's possible, but don't count on that. Weight loss depends on many things and it involves a lifestyle change. Results can take a little longer than expected to come, but they will come if you have willpower and self control.

No. No fucking way. No.
Unless you're 400 lbs and willing to put in an insane amount of work AND have severe calorie restriction, it's not going to happen. You can lose probably 3 lbs a week with SERIOUS work, and that's about a 1500 calorie a day deficit to do that.
Get the idea of a 60 lb weight lose in two months completely out of your head.
Good luck, yes. It's all about diet, don't forget that.
If you cut out all the sweet yummy things from life and than maybe!
60 lbs in 2-ish months is very unhealthy.
Ideally 2 lbs a week is what you should lose, according to what most doctors say is healthy. Meaning 52lbs a year!
Two months is near impossible
I lost 3 kilos in past three weeks. I shouldn't be losing weight , but I am just trying to improve my endurance, maybe I am overdoing.
60 pounds in 2 months is Impossible.
You need to be patient, try losing 4 pounds every month, just get yourself used to the routine , then you can go for like 10 pounds a month.
It could be possible, but that depends on your starting weight, what you eat now and what you eat during that time, and your current BMI. I imagine there are other factors that could come into play, but this is just off of the top of my head.
Unless you cut off a leg, no, it's not possible to do it in a healthy way. The idiot bodybuilder types will tell you to train hard and eat nothing but a cube of chicken every three days, but that's not healthy or sustainable.
You can lose, but you need to work very hard and you need to follow a strict diet consisting of protiens, vitamins, green vegetables, fresh fruits.
If you are very chubby, then its possible. Losing 60 pounds isn't a joke. That is a serious number you are talking about.
It is impossible. You don't lose weight exercising you lose weight by decreasing your calorie intake.
You can but it is incredibly unhealthy. It will be hard as fuck too.
I wouldn't keep it to a time frame, remember if you cut out all food or at least most of it, part of the weight you drop is muscle.
No, you can't lose that amount of weight healthily.
