To truly lose 50 pounds in 5-to-8 months...

Hi. I'm 15, weigh 135, and at least 5ft 4in. I would like to weigh at least 115, but I want muscle so maybe a little more. (i mostly want to lose belly fat and most of the fat on my thighs. I have strech marks on my thighs and it's really gross)I play soccer but the girls play in the spring. I buy lunch bc my mom says it's less expensive than bringing lunch everyday. I would LOVE to try this, but i have no clue how many calories the school lunch has. Also, I don't like salad so having that as a snack after school is out. I've tried running but i live in PA and it's all steep hills and super hot here.

Oh, and homecoming is in about a month, is it healthy to lose the weight i want to in that amount of time? What can i do to lose the fat and replace most it with muscle?
PLEASE HELP!!

hello

i started school this week so i wanna see how this plan is

at least 80 ounces of water throughout the day

300 or less calorie breakfast (i wake up at 5)

140 calorie yogurt and an apple at lunch time (around 11 or 12)

300 or less calorie meal when i get home (around 3:00)

and whatever my mom makes for supper (usually around 5 or 6. if its something greasy or anything like that i usually just get a small portion. i round those meals to about 300 or 400 calories)

i plan on taking an hour long walk every day that i have time to (which, as long as i finish my homework soon enough, should be at least 4 to 5 times a week) along with doing various workouts with my dumbbells (3 pound pair and a 5 pound pair) that work the biceps and triceps.

i am 16, 5'5, and 185 pounds. ive tried the diet on this page earlier this summer and somehow one week at the beach threw it off even though i didnt eat much.i wasnt losing that much to begin with tho.

sooo anyways, how does this sound?

Hi Adrian,
I want to lose 25 more lbs, but I have been on atkins and I find it hard to follow now, I want to be able to eat healthier when I go back to school. I have lost 10lbs on atkins, and I dont want to gain it back if I switch my diet, but I would like a low carb diet, but more focused on calories so I can eat whole grain foods.
If I switch diets do you think I will gain weight back? I'm on an exercise plan already also.

Im 6'1 about 270 pounds. I dont look real big. but you can tell im a big guy. I want to lose 50 pounds in 3 months.

Hi, I'm struggling with a long plateau. I'm 5'8" and and have lost 35 pounds over a year, I have another 20 to go but I've plateaued at 165 for 4 months. I exercise 5 times a week and make sure that I don't retain more than 1200 calories a day, sometimes less. I had my resting metabolic rate done and it said I have a low metabolism and only burn about 1200 calories a day resting. I had that checked before I began my weight loss program. Should I check it again? Am I eating enough calories? I'm really frustrated!

I don't get it I am 5'11 and 244 lbs on monday and I started my regular workout and ate nothing but peas and corns small amount of vietnamese ham and other green vegetables. So on wednesday morning I checked the scale and it said I weigh 239 and then I cheat one meal on the evening. Then the next thing in the morning I get on the scale and I am at 249. The cheat meal I had was 500g of udon, around 200g of peas and corn, and 100g of beef brisket plus 1.5 liter of water. I am very scared right now

Im a half an inch over 5'6'' I weigh 120, my normal weight is 105, how can I lose 15 pounds in about 3 to 4 weeks and feel. I thought of doing 6 hours of cardio daily, 3hours in the morning on the tredmill before eating breakfast within the first hour of rising and 3 hours in the evening, an hour and half after dinner, and doing an hour of Pilates working strictly my abs. Eating 6x daily on the South Beach Diet, drinking a gallon of water (throughout the day) do think it's possible I'll reach my goal?

If I follow your plan with the exact amount of calories you gave me without any exercise. Will it still work. In the box I chose the lazy potato option and it calculated the calories I need to intake. Will I still be able to lose 2 lbs a week without exercise? Please help because I want to start this right away.
