How Much Weight Will I Be Able To Lose In A Month?
Here’s my plan:
Walk 3 – 4 miles per day (in an hour)….mostly 5 days a week but would like to 7 days a week when possible.
Free weights every other day for 1/2 hour…..weighing 10 lbs. at first and working up to 25 lbs. each. (Upper body only).
Biking – on the days I do free weights, for 3 miles at a fairly fast pace (like 30 minutes total).
DIET: High protein, low fat. 1200 – 1500 calories per day.
I am 5′11″ and probably weigh 190-200 lbs. I stopped weighing myself. I’m a size 14..sometimes 16. I used to be a size 9/10. I’m shooting for a size10 or 12 so I can fit back in to my clothes from when I was happy with my size. I never had a weight issue until about 5 years ago. I’ll be 40 in December and want to be at my ideal weight (155 lbs.) by my 40th birthday! 
Again, how much weight will I lose by July 19th if I follow this plan? I’m curious about where I might be in a month. I’ve been at it for 2 weeks but haven’t weighed myself. Any pills to help?
That’s an OUTSTANDING plan, so stay away from pills.
If I can make some suggestions:
When you do your walking, make sure you go fast enough so that you are sweating for at least 30 minutes. This way your body will burn fat.
Free weights: Do full body. A dense (muscular) body will burn fat by doing nothing (100 calories a day more than a flabby one). 10 pounds is pretty heavy (I had to work up to that). If you are going to do high reps, start with 5 pounds (this is for toning). 10 pounds is great for lower body (BIG muscle groups). Are you doing any ab/core work at all?
On this plan, you will lose 1 – 2 pounds per week of fat, but you will gain a pound of month of muscle; both are good.
Also, keep in mind that other people will notice your results before you will.
i hope you’re not planning on doing the walking and biking on the same day, that would be too much. and really you should only do that for about 5 days a week, that’s an awful lot and your muscles will need more rest than someone doing 30 mins of cardio 5-6 days a week. i think you could lose about 10 pounds if you stick with it. you didnt put all that weight on in one month, so don’t plan to lose it that fast, it’d be very unhealthy.
If you weigh 200 lbs and want to weigh
155 lbs that’s 45 lbs you have to lose
if you lose 2lbs a week for 22.5 weeks
that’s about 5.5 months, so around say
november 19th you should have reached
you goal, with a month to spare (good luck)
Dont overwork yourself. You shouldnt lose more than 3 pounds a week, it can seriously mess you up. You should probably only lose about 10 pounds every month, at the very most. Dont take any pills. With what you are doing now, it’ll just make you lose way too much weight, and youll be in serious trouble.
