I suppose it may be feasible to lose that much weight in 30 days depending on the individual...but in a healthy fashion? I'm simply uncertain... Try to clean up your diet as much as possible by eating clean carbs like whole grains, brown rice etc..Protein from turkey, chicken, tuna etc...Increase your cardio and drop your fat intake...Include only healthy fats like flaxseed and olive oil..Make certain you're drinking plenty of water. Fairly steady exercise program should help as well.... :o) Hope this helps some <smile> Try to remember that a healthy way of living provides steady but, sometimes, slow results...give your body time to adjust, and you won't regret it. Welcome to FT...Please keep us posted with your results :o) and fill in your profile so we can assist you more.

I say this because if you lose weight too fast, you will eventually gain it all back. Have a goal in mind that is more reasonable...2-3 pounds per week should be fine. Besides, you didn't gain weight over a 30-day period so why try to lose it that quickly? -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Now that I have said that let me welcome you to FT and I hope you do get to all goals but in a healthy fashion. ============ Quoting from rpacheco: Yes, it can be done...but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have done it before.
