(wow that rymes). but you dont want to loose 20 pounds within like 2 months and go back to eating whatever you want because then it will ALL gain back. you want to loose weight in a way that you can loose it and not gain it back right away. a healthy weight loss in one pound a week, figuring there are 4 weeks in a month and there is a month and a half until june by then you can loose 8 pounds ( by june 1st) easily just by doing a simple diet. with a good good diet like a south beach diet but level two (look online its one of the must seccesfull diets i used also atkins but never to exactly what they say.. put your own twist on it cause its normally to hard to live off of) and you can loose like 2 or 3 pounds a week. and thats like 8 pounds a month and that would be like 14 pounds by june 1st.

Lots of fruit & veggies. Lean meat [turkey & chicken]
Don't put pressure on yourself to lose 20 lbs. Thats a lot. And if in the first week or so you don/t lose, keep going!
If you want more motivation, only weight yourself every other sunday. {so like once in 2 weeks}
tasuki answered Saturday April 15 2006, 9:49 am: It's possible. Drink a lot of water, stay away from sugary things, eat healthy snacks only, lay off the bread, and play Dance Dance Revolution every day. Don't take a break and eat an ice cream sundae--it's very hard to get back on track. If you don't have DDR, you can walk.
Although, you technically have more time than that, since summer starts on the 21st.
The important thing is not to put pressure on yourself! Go at your own pace. Also, don't count the pounds. If you're exericising, you're gaining muscle, which has weight. Instead, count it by the jeans you can fit into. [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]
summerGIRL_xo answered Saturday April 15 2006, 1:07 am: I really don't think that there's a truly HEALTHY way to loose 20 pounds in less than 2 monthes. yes, there are diets that say you can do that .. but most people on those loose the weight & then gain all of it[or more] back. what the person below me said .. thats just loosing water weight, its not loosing fat like you probably want to do. its not healthy to loose more than 2 pounds a week, but all you can do is eat healthy, exersize, etc. and the weight will come off and you will notice a change. drop one in my inbox if you need any more help! <3 [ summerGIRL_xo's advice column | Ask summerGIRL_xo A Question ]
