Hey girls! Okay, I am desperate for help in my goal for losing weight. I am 22 years old and I need to lose 30 pounds. I just have to do it. And the shortest time, would be the best. I hope I could lose 30 pounds in 4 months. Is that possible? I tried everything and it's not working. :/ I'm sad. If any girls have lost 30 pounds in like 4 months, please let me know how you did it! I will help in return if you need advice on anything or have any questions you need help on. Basically, I weighed 30 pounds less than I do now when I was 19... only 3 years ago. My self esteem has been crushed and I'm so sad. I want my old shape/figure back, and no, I was never pregnant or had kids, so the weight gain is NOT because of that, if you thought it was. Thanks SO much! xxx :))))

Your first mistake is your measure for "success". Remember, muscle weighs more than fat so going solely by weight is bad. Instead, go by inches lost.

Next, you have to ensure you have "30 pounds" (of fat) to lose. Like I said, muscle weighs more than fat. So if you've been working out at all in those 3 years you may have gained weight from muscle (you don't want to lose that).

Now, how healthy are you eating? What you eat has a HUGE impact on your fitness and overall health. Do some googling on healthy nutrition and meal plans to find helpful advice and tips. There are thousands of free sites available with this information.

Lastly, you need to develop an exercise plan and stick to it. If you're unsure how to exercise then do some googling on it as well and again you will find thousands of free sites giving you ideas for workouts both inside and out of a gym. If you want to take it up a level consider hiring some sessions with a personal trainer at a local gym. They can develop an exercise plan specifically for you and your goals.

Losing too much weight over a short period of time can cause health problems.
