Hi my goal is to be able to lose 50 pounds in 5months! I'm a 29 year old female, 5'4" 180lbs. All in the bottom, tummy, thighs...of course...my upper body is not that big and nobody believes that I weight this much even if they can well see i'm overweight...but 10lbs a month...is this possible? And anyone have suggestions on the best way to do it? What about eating right? I'm not the greatest at it I know... but where I have trouble is buying and making/cooking the right foods! I need simple and quick I do not have a regular schedual at all very screwed up work hours (that have helped put on all this weight) So It's hard to follow a good program 3x a week at the same time...a routine! But I'm motivated to get it done. All help is greatly welcomed!:big_smile:

First I would change the way you eat. I went on a modified Atkins and lost 126lbs in 14 months. breakfast and lunch were low fat lean protiens such as chicken, turkey or cold water fish. Then I could have 1 plate of whatever I was making for dinner. important. no refined sugers. no fast food. no junk food. do not get on a scale for first 3 months. after that start some light cardio and weight training. good luck

10 lbs a month is a little fast, you will lose some muscle that way.
Start by buying tuna and chicken and vegetables. Buy a bag of uncle Ben's fast cooking brown rice.
Bake or grill the chicken breasts, cut up the veggies, and cook a large pot of the rice.
Put one cup of cut-up chicken, 1 cup of rice and 1-2 cups of vegetables in a container. covwer, refrigerate, repeat. Now you have meals on hand.
Eat 5-6 meals like this each day.
Lift weights that challenege your muscles 3-4 times a week (pick a program from freetrainers).
Do some cardio 3-4 times a week, don't under or overexert.
Plan on losing 1-2lbs a week.
Don't wait to start exercising. It will boost your metabolism and keep you motivated to eat right.
Good luck!
