Is it possible to loose 50 pounds in 5 months?!

Is it possible to loose 50 pounds in 5 months?

I would like to loose 50 pounds in 5 months. Im just wondering if this is a realistic goal? How many calories would I have to consume a day? What type of exercise would I have to do, how many times per week and for how long? Thanks.

Okay let's break this down...

50 pds in 5 mths = 10 pds a month = 2 1/2 pds a week...

Doable

You have to burn 2,500 calories to burn a pd

so you have to do a combination of diet and excercise that expends 6,250 cal in a week.

You don't tell me how old you are and what you currently weigh so I'm going to assume that you are a girl of average height and anywhere for your mid teens to mid twenties.

You should be consuming about 1,500 calories of a healthy diet (here's a calorie counter link for you)

For excercise I would reccomend that you excerise for 40 min. 4 times a week.

Bill Phillips, Body for Life can help you make some amazing changes to your body (trust me it works) here's the link for that program...

And finally if you don't want to follow body for life, here's a calorie burner that will tell you how long you need to do any given physical activity to burn those 6,250 you need during the week.

Oops, I almost forgot, make sure you drink at least 6 glasses of water during the day.


Good luck
