Well today was a good day in fact i think it was my best day in about 6 months. I started today with my goal to get to 180 pounds from 245 pounds in 2 and a half months. So here we go with my fight for fitness. If you dont know im 18 years old 245 pounds and sick of it i hate being over weight its miserable always thinking if i just lost some weight life would be easier but continuing to do nothing about it. So i start now 3/14/2013 with my exercising daily.

(Day 1) I woke up at 11:00Am about 4 hours after my alarm was set for. I had 2 eggs scrambled with a glass of milk. At 12:00Pm i left the house and began my walk using an android app called runkeeper not sure if any one else uses it but it tracks your walks/runs so you know your pace, distance, and time it took. My walk was 2.02 miles and took me 40 minutes keeping a consistent 19 minute and 30 sec per mile pass. When i returned from my walk i grabbed a golden delicious apple and a cup of water. I then did numerous different core, leg and arm exercises from another app on my phone that had me sweating like crazy. I took a shower and had a 6 inch cold cut sandwich from subway. I stood on the scale 10 mins ago and i way in at a 242.2 pounds.


I will post on here in the morning my starting day weight and then post another log at night with a night weight for my own records. But if your reading this let me know if you think its possible to lose the 65 pounds i want to in the 2 and a half months?
 
Hi, and welcome to the forum!

Healthy weight loss is usually no more than two pounds or a kilogram (2.2lb) a week, or 1% of your body weight if you weigh over 200lb. While I think it might be possible to lose that much weight in that time frame, I seriously wouldn't recommend it. (Consistent fast weight loss is very bad for you)

The best way to lose weight is by tracking your calorie intake. Exercise helps, but most people are able to (and do) eat far, far more than they're able to burn off. If you work out what your calorie needs are for your height and weight, and then work out how much you're eating (keep a food diary), then you should be able to estimate how much you should cut to lose weight (again, I'd seriously recommend not creating too high a deficit because losing weight too quickly is unhealthy). The easiest way to reduce your calorie intake while not being hungry is to switch to low calorie density foods- lots of fruit and vegetables. It's also important for your health, but it's also good not to have to be hungry while you're trying to lose weight, and hopefully you'll maintain habits that will allow you to maintain your weight loss.

Good luck to you.
 
According to my doctor i should eat 2500 calories and try to stay active through out the day and also said that it should take approximately 3 months to lose the 65 pounds. I asked earlier this afternoon and she just emailed back. Sophomore year of high school i lost 30 pounds in 7 weeks not dieting at all and thats was from PE and then going home to my couch. But i will take it one day at a time heck if i lose 30 pounds at least im headed in the right direction haha
 
I think sudden loss in weight will be a problem.Please have a guidance from an expert if you are very sure in your diet.They will suggest health tips and easy ways to loose the weight.
