Now, with the right diet and exercise, you can lose around 5 pounds the first week, then your body will level out a bit. At that point, 2 pounds a week is healthy. So, done right, you can lose around 13 pounds in the time you have.
I highly recommend Curves. That is the place where I saw a lot of women lose at the rate I just described. If you follow their diet and exercise plan, it really does work. My first time with the six week diet plan, I lost 18 pounds. Second time around, when I started teaching it, I lost 12 because my body was used to the program. Still, pretty good loss over that amount of time, and the people at Curves are incredibly supportive and helpful.
Now, that is my experience. I'm sure other similar places will work just as well. Just be sure to be consistent in what you do, eat healthy and keep active, and you will not only lose weight but keep it off. [ blwinteler's advice column | Ask blwinteler A Question ]
