Hey everyone,
Well I'm 21 years old, female and 5Ɖ. In the last year or so, I put on about 15 lbs. I'm normally around 125 and currently I'm approaching 140! I'm graduating from college in June, (about 5 months from now), and want to lose about 15-20 lbs by then. I would hate to look back on pictures from then and think "damn, I look fat". I'd like to know if 15 to 20 pounds is a realistic/safe weight loss goal for a person my height and age.
By the way, how I started gaining weight and have already began making changes diet and exercise wise. I just need a reasonable goal.
Any advice is truly appreciated. Thanks!

I had way too many pounds in all the embarrassing zones until I checked out acai berry, I know they say that pills won't work, however they certainly worked for me, and they've been shown on CBS News too. There is a free trial on currently at http://zorarenfly.dmql.com , try it out, how worse could it make things?

yes, remember the key points is put in more hard hours of exhausting exercise, and vary it up between running, lifting, and high-intensity, competitive sports like basketball or soccer or wrestling....
....and eating really healthy foods in 5-7 small meals/snacks a day, with the biggest being breakfast, and eating all 5 food groups equally...
...and getting enough sleep, taking a vitamin in the morning, eating 2 hot peppers, once a week, to speed up metabolism, and keeping good hygiene and taking hot baths and massaging sore muscles.

yeah if you are 5Ɖ and 140lbs then that is a BAD weight for you, this tells me that

anyways if you want to loose fat fast, use the treadmill, eat and sleep right and you should be seeing results in no time, if it helps it takes 3500calories to loose 1lbs so from what i know the treadmill can work the best hope i helped good luck

If you join weight watchers... (I'm a member and they helped me go from 180 to 155 right now.)
You could loose up to... 8 pounds a month. And that's if your loosing 2 pounds a week. Which is what i loose. If you lost one pound a week, you could loose 20 pounds in 5 months.
Seriously take it into consideration. They really helped me, and still do.

Yes, that is realistic.

you seem like you are at a healthy reasonable weight already...but i understand if you want to loose 15-20...but try not to make it any more than that...and yes, it is a very reasonable goal...just do cardio for 30 mins/6 times a week or for 60 mins/4 times a week...also do some weights...and eat healthy!! the extra weight will come off in no time!
