real weight question.. please help?
I am a 21 year old female that is currently 158lbs and I am 5’2. I am looking to get to 120 by July 1st.. (going back home!) Its about 2 lbs per week that I have to lose until then.. (I am 38% body fat =[)
here is what i do…
eat 1200 cals per day.(no fatty foods or high in cal)
I am a vegetarian
I work out for an hour and a half Tuesday-Friday
Sat and Sun I work out for 2 and a half hours
is my goal achievable if i stick to what i’ve started? I’ve been doing this for a week and I feel like I can stick it out!
do I need to take a supplement (I will not take acai berry, hoodia, diet pills) but maybe a fat burner or something from GNC or bodybuilding.com?!
please help! thanks!
Our top recommended Acai Berry supplement provider is Botanic Choice

I think your calories is a LITTLE low, you would loose weight faster if you did your exercise regimen and ate 200 calories more a day. If you don’t provide your body with enough energy, your metabolism will slow down.

I would say it’s achievable. I’ve consistently lost two pounds a week for the last few weeks by watching my calories and exercising. Make sure you are doing some cardio and a sculpting class/exercises at least three times a week. The sculpting will help you to burn more and bring out the muscle definition just a little.

your weight to your height is excellent it may be you just need to tone and shape your body to be more firmed so i think you need carbohydrates to give your metabolism the energy to burn calories more quickly and if you just adjusting your intake of food with workout this will make your losing fat more accurate .according to your weight your calories per day is 2054 and now you eat about 1200 this must be 1500 so you can lose weight and not your health you need to eat please don’t starve yourself just eat and you will lose weight more quickly and always keep in mind that eating protein +carbohydrate +fibre will boost your energy and your body will burn calories faster . http://www.caloriecounting.co.uk/resources/intro.htm

according to the Nutracheck website , if you eat 1533 calories a day and use up 200 calories a day in exercise , then you would reach 8 stone 13 on 26th May. As you want to lose a little more .. you want to be 8.6 (it wouldnt tell me that low) then you will surely do it ong before your expected date. Check it out, there is a free calculator.
The only thing I would say is that if you are exercising that much you should be measuring rather than weighing as you will build up muscle and it’s heavier than fat. And no, I dont’ think you need any supplements to aid in losing weight!
Good luck with it.

Good for you for planning months ahead instead of focusing on quick weight loss ways that never last:
This is healthy. I think for your height the calories are good if you work out as you say but I’m around your height and eat fewer calories (my metabolism is really slow…I aim for 1100 at the most)
I would look into a cleanser of some sort or beginning with a toxin removal diet (you don’t eat any sugar, dairy, meat, alcohol) for 21 days to clear your body of toxins that might make it difficult to lose weight. it’s hard but the results are amazing!
Some other tips to consider:
1. cardio for 25-30 min three times a week
2. yoga or pilates three times a week on days you’re "resting"
3. interval training and muscle confusion workouts
4. eating greens
5. protein over carbs any day
Don’t eat after 9 and cut out all soda and alcohol.
That should help!
