What is a realistic weight loss goal for me?

I am just starting out and am a 20yo male, 6 foot 2.5 inches tall, weigh 420 lbs, and am 46.3% body fat. I will be working out (lifting weights and doing cardio) 3 days per week and the rest of the days will just be walking. I will be eating healthy as well (previous diet wasnt great).For my first goal i plan to weigh and remeasure (for body fat %) on September 1st (3 and 1/2 weeks.....25 days from now). What is a realistic weight loss and body fat % loss for my first goal time frame?What is a realistic goal for weight loss and body fat % loss for 60 days (8 and 1/2 weeks....October 6)?Thanks for the help.

How to Lose Weight and Breastfeed

Recommended Answer:

30 - 40 lbs. Take it slow. Keep an eye on your nutrition, that's most important. Exercise seems good for now. Ramp it up as you lose weight. You'll also have to change your nutrition plan as you lose weight. Good luck buddy. I applaud you for your effort. Be patient and seek support as you continue on this journey. It's about creating new habits and lifestyle changes.

• Erm i dont know
• I lose around 10 lbs/month. I am a female who started at 221 lbs, and I am at 151 lbs now. So I mean because you are starting at a larger weight than what I started, I believe you can lose maybe 20 - 30 lbs/month in the beginning. There are online calculators to predict how long weight loss takes, how much you will lose by a certain date, etc. You could always put your information into those. Here are some I found in a search: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=ArTeCHQIy2hCgqsq38c1MkWbvZx4?p=weight+loss+goal+calculator&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-622
• By september, maybe 10lbs is reasonable. By oct 6th I'd say you could for sure lose around 15-20 lbs. Good luck! way to take initiative. :)Mine please http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtNr_NXJymmjn6cIcu_UDTAd53NG;_ylv=3?qid=20130807110740AAwwoUX
• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

Can a person take slimquick if underage?

I want to lose weight. I'm 17 5'5, I weigh 175 pounds and I tried getting on a diet but it don't help I tried exercise but my body gives up on me i even tried slowing down my eating but that didn't work.while watching tv I saw the slim quick commercial and i was wondering if I can take the pills or the powder even though I'm under 18.I can walk and I do 30 mins of exercise 4 days a week

How to Lose the Flab After Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:

1. Slimquick is legal to buy at any age. It's a bad-tasting shake mix that you use as a meal replacement.2. It's your lifestyle that causes you to be unhealthy, not just your diet. Don't "exercise" - be active. Learn to see food as nothing but fuel and find a calorie-burning activity that you enjoy. For me, it was strength training and cycling. I didn't see any results for several months, and then I suddenly needed a belt to keep my pants from falling off during the day. When I ate healthy for the day, I rewarded myself with a bike ride, where I previously would have rewarded myself with a day of video games. You can't see real change until you change how you live.

Other Answers:

• Wow. You try exercise but your body gives up on you? So you can't walk, or you do 5 min of exercise and get dissapointed that you can't see the pounds melting away and give up?Dieting didn't help? I have news for you then. You did it wrong. Eating fewer calories works.Slimquick is no miracle. If the other things didn't work neither will slimquick.

Eating is very complicated....?

Eat this, don''t eat that...they tell you to eat fish because its good for you NOW don''t eat fish because it has mercury in it. Fruit...eat your daily requirements of fruit..BUT it can be fattening and produce acid. Yogurt is good for you...but on the other hand if you are lactose intolerant. Be sure to drink your milk it will build strong bones...but, to many hormones/chemical/crap in it. Don''t eat meat....OH if you only knew what was in meat...what are we suppose to eat tree bark? Haven''t heard any complaints about that....

The Three Secrets to Lose Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:
You are not educated enough on the subject to fully understand, there is nothing wrong with this. I will explain why.

Fish: Most types of fish are good for you, the ones that are like salmon and bass have lots of omega-3''s and very little mercury. You should eat lots of these types of fish. But wait? There are different types?

Yes, there a bad types of fish like farmed tuna and talapia, shark meat, and shrimp. You shouldnt eat these are the time cause they have waaaay to much mercury. See were the confusion comes from? Only some are bad not all.

Fruit: Most are not fattening at all, but some have high sugar content. This is only bad if you eat waay to much of it. Acidic fruits should be avoided cause lots of people have stomach acid problems. But if your stomach is fine then you can eat all you want. Its not fruit that makes you fat. Its overeating and fruit juices that make you fat. Stay away from juice and only eat the real thing!

Yogurt: It does have some benefits but for most people it is actually bad. There is a lot of wrong information about yogurt. Yes it has probiotics and lots of vitamins. But its also a dairy product thats high in calories and fat. And most all yogurt companies add a bunch of refined sugars to it, this is why yogurt is bad. Yogurt is "okay" to eat but the downsides are worse than the benefits. Eat sparingly.

I am lactose intolerant and so is 15% of the world. There is not a single person in this world that needs dairy products to survive. You can live your entire live perfectly healthy and never eat yogurt or drink cows milk ever. (You are not lactose intolerant to your mothers milk, only animals). Dont drink milk, its horrible for you cause of all the added chemicals and its super high in fat (unless you drink skim, but skim still has chemicals). You dont need milk to build strong bones, dont listen to the stupid crap they try to teach you in school about nutrition, its wrong. Just ask any body builder.
All you need for strong bones is calcium+ vitamin D and exercise.

There is nothing bad in meat? Who are you listening too? Unless your eating crap like hotdogs and salami. This is called GMO MSM. This stands for genetically modified organisms and mechanically separated meats This is not supposed to be eaten. Obviously.

Real meat is 100% fine to eat. As long as its real cut meats like pork chops, steaks, tenderloins, chicken (only with the bones, dont eat that boneless crap unless its 100% chicken breast bought from the store, not fast food they are lairs) turkey and fish. There is nothing wrong with eating this as long as you know it was not genetically modified and grass fed (no eating corn fed animals).

If you want to eat right you must eat a paleolithic diet. The same way ancient man (cavemen) eat. Bottom line every thing you eat must be natural and either grow out of the ground (fruits and vegetables) or eat the plants that grow out of the ground or other animals (animals like cows, pigs and chickens). No refined grains or even whole grains (no sliced bread or crackers or any bread really) nothing prepackaged (no chips or Doritos) no refined sugars (soda pops and anything with added sugar) and little to ZERO dairy.

If you want to learn more about eating a paleolithic diet follow the link below. This is not a diet for just losing weight, this is a diet for feeling amazing and actually being as healthy as possible, just like people ate 10,000 years ago.

Yea I know it sounds hard to eat like this cause what your not allowed to eat is 90% of whats in grocery stores, but if you struggle with your weight and your health I promise you your number 1 problem are breads and grains, #2 is added sugars. Stop that and the fat of your body will die like AIDS patients (no offence). I am living proof. Ive eaten like this for 21 days and ive lost 30 lbs, and I eat until im STUFFED!

http://robbwolf.com/what-is-the-paleo-diet/




But you must work out if you want to lose weight fast (if your a girl, cause im not and I havent been working out at all in 3 weeks). Eating right is a good start.

• I am with you all the way on this....I really am. This is the one area of fitness that is just overwhelming and confusing at times. I would recommend checking out nutritiondata.com. It''s a great resource to see what''s in the food you eat. Best of luck to you!
• Ha ha, eating can be complicated, but you have to look at your sources of information.
  Fish is good for you because it is high in protein, usually lower in fat and can have Omega-3 fatty acids which are better fats for you than others (Don''t forget, fat is still fat so you don''t want a lot of it). Not all fish are high in mercury. Fish like salmon and pollock are lower in mercury and can be eaten with out worry but certain fish like shark and large tuna have high mercury and should be eaten in moderation.
  
  Fruit is good for you, it has a lot of nutrients and minerals and a source of sugars. Not many fruit is high in fat, the most common exception being avocado.
  
  Milk and yogurt is good for you. If you''re lactose in tolerant it just means your body can''t digest the lactose in dairy which causes you to become bloated and gassy. Dairy''s big health benefit is Calcium and Vitamin-D. A lot of lactose free milk, or dairy or yogurts are now fortified with this so they can be just as good.
  
  If you''re worried about what is in your food, buy organic or locally grown.

Will Zumba help tone fast?

I''m 16 140 lbs and 5''9 I don''t need to lose weight, but if I do i won''t be mad ;) but will Zumba help tone?? And how long should I do it for time wise?? And I do switch my workout routine up by, walking 20-30 minutes. Riding my recumbent bike for 30 min. and doing strength workouts. And I eat healthy and am persistent on working out. Thank y''all! :)

Top Effective Ways to Lose Weight Fast - Here Are Free Weight Loss Tips

Recommended Answer:
I don''t know if it will help fast. I guess that depends on the person. You have to stay consistent. I heard the insanity was really good. What I do is I jog for an hour each day sometimes an hour and a half. It keeps me in shape aside from my diet. The walking is good although, you should'' expect to see quick results with walking. The recumbent will tone the legs, so that''s good and strength workouts are also good. I would say just stay consistent. The hard work will pay off. Good luck.

• try 1 hour zumba plus 30 mins to 1 hour of exercise
  but its better to watch your diet
  you will get better results while on zumba
• Fast? No, not really. I have done both Zumba sets and have done the toning routines in both. I did see some results from the Zumba Flat Abs after a couple months of doing it almost daily. Don''t get me wrong, I love Zumba, but I have seen more toning in 10 days of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred than I did months doing Zumba. Even in the toning, Zumba incorporates too many dance moves to really tone fast, whereas 30 Day Shred really works the muscles hard.

What supplements could a 14 year old take to loose weight?

I want to loose weight and maintain/gain muscle. But i want to take supplements that wont do any harm to me. Please suggest stuff that works too.

Lose Weight Fast Now - Surprise Everyone by Losing Weight Quickly

Recommended Answer:
make juices.

detox.

lemon + water + cayenne pepper + mayple syrup (the real stuff, not maple ''flavored'' syrup)

drink that and eat unprocessed stuff for a week.

then switch to carrot + apple + ginger juices while eating normally.

that''s how i lost 12lbs in the past month (a lot for me because I eat junk with them) these juices fill you up and act like a laxative... but in a good way. i saw a documentary about a guy that lived on juices for 68 days. he lost 37kg (it was a british doco), which is like, 65+lbs.

you don''t even really need a juicer. most fruit you can smash up yourself. just stay away from the store-brought ones, they have like, 32grams of sugar in each 200ml bottle.

• What supplements could a 14-year-old take to learn how to spell?
  
  Most 3rd graders know the difference between LOOSE and LOSE.
• There really aren''t any.
  
  One strategy is to quit eating sugar. First you find out what sugar is, and you quit eating it. Sugar is not only candy bars - it''s rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, cereal. It stuffs your blood stream with sugar which is turned into lard to stick on your butt.
  
  About 80% of our horrible diet is sugar - manufacturer''s make LOTS of money making you fat as a barrel. Anyway.... one idea is to quit eating it. It''s great.
  
  This is the Atkins diet - Get a used copy of "New Diet Revolution" off of Amazon Books. It might be in the library too.
• You''re 14. You don''t need supplements. Work out, eat lots of vegetables and only lean meat. Chocolate milk after a workout will do just as much for you as a supplement at your age
• http://www.menshealth.co.uk/lose-weight/fast-tips/fat-burning-supplements
  
  they might help! but a 14 year old might not be able to take them as it might harm the body.
  
  you can also get protein powder that helps you lose weight and gain muscle but you need to work out a lot!

twilight isssss ososososo awesome srsly guys i like sparkles?

i wrote this awesome fanfic. it took me like 2 months. please critique?

I got up today, one morning. The sky was gray and depressing, like my soul. Nobody likes me. Like, yesterday at school, a strange boy who I don’t know, just kissed me. Why doesn’t anybody NOTICE ME!? I love Edwardo.
So anyways, I got up this morning, and crawled out of bed. I put on my slippers. I like my slippers, but they’re old. Charlie (AKA; DAD) should buy me new slippers.
But anyways, I got out of bed and put on my slippers. I trudged into my bathroom to get ready. I looked at the sink. Then I looked in the mirror. I look as boring as this story.
I have long, dark brown hair that went down over my shoulders. I have big eyes, that look almost soulless, yet sexy. My skin is as pale as the moonlight. I’m like, so boring.
But anyways, I woke up this morning and got ready for school. I didn’t eat breakfast, because that’s what fat girls do. Although I’m fat (I weigh 60 pounds, EW), I need to lose some weight.
I love Edwardo. He’s so sexy.
So anyways, I got up this morning, skipped breakfast and got in my old, battered up truck. It’s stinky and smells like peppermints that were stuck on the bottom of a smoking clown’s ***. But I really like that smell. It smells like Jacob’s Uncle, and I like him because I like people in wheelchairs. I don’t discriminate.
But anyways I’m driving in my truck, and I’m glad that everybody else has shitty cars, because I don’t want to stand out. I want to blend in. But yeah, I stopped my truck after parking it. Then I unbuckled. Then I opened the door. Then I got out of my truck. Then I stood in the middle of the road next to my truck. A car almost hit me. But that’s not important to the story.
So anyways, I walked into the school and went to the front office. The lady at the desk was like, “Are you Isabella Swan?”
And I was all like, “It’s Bella.”
And she was all, “Oh. Okay then.”
And I stood there.
And then she was all like, “Here’s a map I drew for you.”
I took it and thanked her, and then I went to science class. It was easy to find because of the map. The lady at the desk was so sweet. But here I can’t be sweet. Because then I’ll stand out. I want to blend in. Has Edwardo noticed me yet?

Tips for Losing Weight Fast - Burn the Fat or Eat the Muscle?

Recommended Answer:
How many time do you have to say "I got up this morning'' and ''then"? Omg, it so funny I couldn''t stop laughing. Good job. Hopefully you''ll write more.

• i love it
• i love it too
• Like, totally awesome. <3 <3
• Super! Totally rocks
• Wow. As a writer, I am literally insulted that was so bad. You insult me, my language, and my profession.
  I''m pretty sure this is a joke or I wouldn''t be so cruel. But if this isn''t and you seriously think this is good I think you might want to ask somebody to check to make sure you''re okay in the noggin. Just, like, saying. Cuz, like, it was like, THAT bad. I like pizza. Yeah. That bad.
• Not offense to whatever I''m about to say.
  
  Bella sounds like some annoying skank and all she can think about is herself and her boyfriend Edwardo. She''s self-centered and always on a rant. If I read it without half the mind of knowing that it was Bella that was narrating, I would have placed it as Jessica Stanley or Lauren Mallory. It''s very annoying, like I said, and it''s kinda offensive to those who appreciates Stephenie Meyer''s prose.
  
  BUT, if you did that on purpose and wanted Bella to sound like an attention-seeking, whiny brat asking for new slippers and repeating most of what she said twice, then go for it. :) Nice material for comedy.
  
  xoxo
