losing weight..
Hey, I know I already posted a question yesterday, but from the advice I got...I was wondering if I ate healthy(without purging or anything)..like No red meats, some white meat, no sodas, some whole grain, fruits and vegetable and exercise up to an hour a day...how much weight could I lose in a week.
When I was purging, I was able to drop at least 5 pounds a weeks some weeks.
But would I be able to lose more than the maximum of 2 pounds a week by eating like that? I am wanting to lose about 25 pounds before I go prom dress shopping at the end of March and for prom at the end of April.
Also, next year is my senior year in August, and we have senior pictures, and I'm afraid I'm going to be deathly fat for them!

No one can tell you how much weight you will lose in a week...unless you're God.
You dropped 5 lbs in a week by purging...somewhere in the back of your head you had to anticipate that it wasn't going to work very effective for an extended period of time, and now that point is solidified. You really have to stop wanting to lose so much so quick- it happened to you once before as you're saying and now you're on here looking for advice on how to do it the right way. Before pounds get lost- unreasonable expectations must be lost. You'll have plenty of time to do this the right way provided you eat clean and often and exercise sufficiently.
People think we trainers hold some secret knowledge and get mad when we don't act as Magi immediately...I am just like you- It takes TIME for me to get to a target weight and I have to eat clean and often to get there. Our bodies may be different but the principles are all the same- solid nutrition, good exercise and a positive mental attitude. All 3 combined equals success and weight loss that you can actually keep.

true you will not lose the weight as fast as purging, but purging is veeery bad for you both mentaly and physically. be determined and have a routine that includes eating healthy (while portioning--the average person eats about 150% of what they need to in a meal) and steady exersising. again dont go to extremes, and stick with a plan. you could lose about 2-4 pounds a week with the added health benefits, then over time maybe more weight. but also consider that walking burns more body fat then runng-the difference is that running uses fast energy like glucose, while walking doesnt need fast energy, so it uses fat, so my point is, weight loss may be not so significant, but fat loss will be.
good luck
any more questions just ask

It is impossible to loose weight in a week the healthy way. This takes time, and determination. Exercise and eat healthy. You'll loose weight and will see results. DO NOT PURGE!!! if you do, then you are bulimic, and there are alot of consequences. Do not play with eating disorders, they are life threatning. Google it!!! Also heres a tip: the less you eat, the slower your metabolism is...
