80 lbs in 18 months?!

80 lbs in 18 months?

I just had my fourth child (in five years) less than two months ago. In December of next year my husband and I celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and we'd like to have the ceremony we never got. (Married at the court house).
So, i have about 18 months to prepare for a wedding dress. What's the best way to lose about 80 lbs in 18 months? Can it be done in a healthy way? We have a gym membership to 24 hour fitness that I intend to utilize. What should my weekly goal? What are good ways to switch up the routine to avoid the plateau?

You definitely can lose that in 18 months!!!! You need to work out 5 days a week for at least an hour (be sure to push yourself everyday) and restrict your diet to 1200 calories per day. Follow the food pyramid, don't do any senseless diets. Go to mypyramid.gov to find a personalized diet plan. It will outline how many fruits, veggies, meats, starches and fats you should have per day.

You should shoot for 1-2 pounds per week. Go at it easily and have the mindset that this is a LIFELONG change.So, don't do anything that you can't keep up long-term.
