How long do you think it will take me to lose 60 lbs?

[beastman88]

OK so I already lost 20 lbs, in about 3 months, I do pushups almost every other day, and do strength training. also trying to go out for hr brisk walks as often as I can as well as biking. I don't eat junk food, or drink sodas. I eat healthy, eat lots of fruit and try to eat as much veges as I can. usually a salad with maybe a chop, or steak or ribs, fish etc etc. i am thinking it will take about a year to get where I want to be. I was 150 before but id be happy to get down to 160-170. currently 230, mainly shows in my midsection.

depending on what your doing. there are faster ways of getting the weight off that are healthy but its challenging. easily this summer you could lose thirty lbs. cardio, cardio cardio at least 40 min to an hr 5 4 days a week is your friend you want to burn first(once you burn then you can work on tone a definition.) its a process :P

eating a clean diet too, protein, turkey chicken and fish are your friends

(there are absolutly no carbs in chick fyi)

eggs are your friends!

you can eat as many eggWHITES as you want there are no carb no fat, egghwite are all protein.

no egg yoke or a whole egg does a body right

but you shouldn't eat it everyday its still fat.

a whole egg everyother day is really good though

snack on vegtibles like peppers carrots and cucumbers, try not to dip them in dressing though.

a good bowl of oatmeal for breakfast is a great start. and having a nice size apple a day is good as well!

hope this helps!

[beastman88]

ah I like my yolks though xD. I buy the expensive eggs, the ones with omega 3 fatty acids. I like oatmeal if I got some fresh fruit to put in it. iam trying to walk for at least an hr everyday. I used to be a horse not anymore lol. someday ill be there again. ill keep it off as well.

[zin93224]

fruit is great! I know I love yolks too! like you a struggle with my weight it sucks :P food is so damn good! but as for the walking, you can never go wrong with it! when I lived in ny I never had to go to the gym I walked everywhere! I was in the best shape of my life!

[skittledittle]

I use a whole egg and egg whites (mix one egg with two whites or something). I would get egglands best. Remember fish has omega three and there's always vitamins

[beastman88]

yeah I love fish :D salmon probably my fav

[xTeacup]

I don't know how desperate you are to lose weight, but you can always try going vegan.

Vegans, on average, weigh 15% less than meat-eaters.

Vegetarians weigh 10% less.

Just a thought. :P

[beastman88]

definitely a thought, I need meat in my diet though. got a lot of muscle on me as well. don't want that to go away when the fat is melted away

There is a great app called lose it , it helps you see how many calories in certain foods and it estimates when you will reach your goal. If you don't have a smartphone just google lose it and it will take you to the website!

[beastman88]

thanks :D

Shoot for about a year, MAYBE a little less if you work out more as you get more fit! Try substituting more veggies, pasta with meat sauce, or more fish for the steak and ribs and you'll find it easier going. What on earth happened to get you from 150 to 230?

[beastman88]

well 150 to 250 actually, I would have to say a good 4 years of laziness and denial. 100 pds in 4 years, at least iam trying to fix it now before it got too out of control. yeah iam guessing itll take about a year, that's about how long it took last time. this time around ill have to drop even more though.

[martyfellow]

Wow, that mch wieght gain in 4 years, what was going on in your LIFE?

[beastman88]

not much obviously..

[martyfellow]

NOthing good, anyway..Sorry to hear that.

[beastman88]

25 pds a year, so I was able to lose 20 pds in 3 months so if I keep that up it will take me just over a year to get where I want to be. 4 years to gain, 1year and a few months to drop it all.

[martyfellow]

That's realistic, without starving yourself. but you need to make sure you don't turn around and put it all back on!

[Longshot]

I lost 60 in 6 months. You may want to switch away from chops, steak, ribs and stick just with lean protein -- fish and chicken.

[skittledittle]

Weight loss varies. nobody can tell you how fat you'll lose weight. When I first lost weight, it dropped. I lost sixty pounds in 8 months. I was on the elliptical five days out the week and lifting weights. I lost ten of those pounds by walking more lol

Just keep making better choices and don't even think about it. If you put any time constraint or expectation on that kind of weight, you'll sabotaging yourself. Set smaller goals like lessening carbs or five-ten pounds a month. Pace yourself.

[skittledittle]

how much*

sabotage*

i need to stop typing these things on my phone lol

[SuRpRiZeD]

depends how fat you are, for example a 500 pound person can lose 80 pounds in 2 months a 250 pound person will probably take 6 months to lose 80 pounds. Both parties doing the same diet and exercise

[beastman88]

geez where do you people get your logic? sure a heavier person will lose weight a bit faster, but as you go on, you have to train even harder to maintain the losses that you want. 40 pds a month? your ridiculous and its obvious you have no idea what your talking about.

[SuRpRiZeD]

bahahahaahahaa you're the one asking for help man, it will take you your whole life to lose all the fat you got, there you happy?

[Anonymous]

A reasonable goal is 10lbs per month. You need to do more cardio and consider outlining your calorie distribution throughout the day. It's possible to eat healthy but still eat too much.

[beastman88]

yeah that's why I already lost 20 pds... 10 pds is too much weight to lose, that's unhealthy, the index finger diet isn't good for anybody

[Opinion Owner]

Listen here dipsh*t, I lost 80 pounds and averaged 12lbs of weightloss per month because I listened to people and stopped making excuses. You're fat because you have it wrong. The first 20 are by far the easiest.

[beastman88]

the only dipsh*t I see is you, I've also lost 80 pds before and iam going to do it again. stfu and gtfo. I know what I need to do, and you need to know your role and shut your mouth I don't believe I ever asked for diet and exercise advice so f*** off

[Opinion Owner]

Ur gonna fail and it will be to my pleasure

[SuRpRiZeD]

lmao

[beastman88]

why did you even answer, obviously just looking for a fight. your just a paper tiger. good job being anon so I can't block you

[Opinion Owner]

I answered because I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I thought you really wanted to lose weight. Your big ego is in the way, and you'll get nowhere unless someone pops it and you come back down to earth. That's what it takes to lose weight.

[beastman88]

gtfo un-anon yourself so I can block you please
