i am currently trying to lose weight and i have about 40lb to lose. i am eating about 1500 calories per day and my calories come from fresh produce and lean meats, as well as whole grains. i drink lots of water and i am doing strenth training 3 days per week and cardio 3 days per week for about 30 minutes. i also walk a bit. i am just wondering if this is a fast healthy way to lose weight? if anyone has success stories i would love to hear them!

Hi, I lost about 25 kilos which is 55lb in the last 3 months, I've done it by cutting out all meat, cutting down on all carbs and by going on the tredmill for 1 hour a day and danced for 2 hrs each week. But what I think helped me the most was not eating after 5 pm .
I was worried that I wasn't healthy but my doctor was very impressed so I hope this helps you!

I honestly don't think anything fast will be long term. Make it permanent and concentrate on 1-2 lbs a week. Excercise if you are able and change to only include low fat and no fat items. And if you don't loose any weight at any given week. Don't give up but don't beat yourself up either. There are times when you will possibly reach a weight and seem not to move up or down. Just hang in there. You can do it!
Best wishes for a successful weight loss.

I think it takes longtime to collect all the weight so it will take time to come off .keep doing what ever u do remember less in more out and no eating after six pm .if u feel hungry have some drink ins ted of solid food. use some breathing exercises also if u can.

Cant think of anything at this time however I would sugest focusing on the doctor recomended 1-3 lbs /week
