I used to be a size 5 juniors in jr high. I'd love to be a size 4 and weigh around 120. any ideas on how to drop the pounds and sizes? How long it might take?

How to Help Your Family Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

You want to drop a total of 45lbs. Generally 1-2lbs per week is healthy weight loss. 45lbs/2lbs (per week) would mean 22.5 weeks or about 5.5 months. It's not rocket science to figure out how to lose weight. Look at your diet, clean it up, or even meet with a nutritionist. Good old fashioned working out in combination with your diet will shed the weight. You have to create a deficit in your calories. Burn more than you take in. Find an activity you enjoy, keep motivated, and stick with it:)
