Help! Need to lose 25lbs of fat by September

[tama]

I'm going to be getting married in September. But I'm probably 25 pounds overweight, most of which is fat. I want to look good on my wedding day so the fat has to go.

I've got a good base of muscle underneath the fat, so I'll look good if I can lose the fat.

I'm dedicated and I'll do whatever it takes.

What's the best way (without gear) I can lose fat fast.

get up and do 40 minutes of cardio before you eat 5 days per week, cut all junk from your diet, eat 5 small meals per day. make each meal 60% protein, 30% complex carbohydrate, and 10% healthy fat. make sure every meal has green veggies in it. drink plenty of water.

this plan works well for most. all you need to do is gradually remove food over time.

if you want to use any sups check out the weight loss sups at needtobuildmuscle.com.
Lipo-shred stack and NTBM Am/pm Thermo Fat Blaster Stack are both good products. if your on a budget Forged Burner alone would be a big help.

get all your carbs from natural whole foods. After observing my body under different eating methods, i know personally i don't do well with starchy carbs. def don't cut carbs, just get plenty from fruits and veggies. I also found that i digest protein and fats really well. if your like me, you'll shed fat fast if you do a high protein/mod fat/mod carbs diet. i don't have percentages, nor do i count calories. I recommend you count calories the first week though so you can get an idea of how much you should be eating and should reduce accordingly as you lose weight.

I still like morning cardio/weight lifting in the evening or weights and then cardio.

Oh and CONGRATS!!!

You can do this, but there is no way in hell its going to be all fat loss. 25 lbs of fat is a LOT to lose.

Depending on what day it is in september you have like a MAX of THREE months to get this done. That is equivalent to 2 lbs of weight loss every single week!!!

There are 3500 calories in one lb of stored bodyfat. That means in order to lose two lbs of bodyfat each week you need to be in a 7,000 calorie deficit! That is exactly 1,000 calories less each day until your wedding.

I know its quite possible for you to do this, but it will NOT be easy, I wish you luck!

this system is serously flawed.

this system is serously flawed.

Out of curiosity, I would like to know why? I hear what he said quite a bit.

this system assumes all foods are the same and their not. metabolism, digestion, fat storage, ect. can all be altered by different foods and also by the amount of servings and their timing. the alterations can give drastic effects.

I enjoy doing cardio and you should learn to love it too if you are going to meet your goals. Try to make it fun as you're probably going to have to do it every day. Swimming, biking, jogging, go nuts on the cardio machines! Pick something that you actually enjoy and just go for it. For me it's biking. Good luck and hope you get that washboard for your big day

Listen to Joe. Believe me his advice helped me lose a ton of weight.

Now the 3,500 calorie = pound sounds right when you first think about it, but here is the thing. Your body burns a certain amount of calories per day on its own. For the most part this is around 2,000-2,800. Lets say you start eating only 1,500 calories a day. For about the first week or two you probably will drop some weight very fast, but then your body realizes its not getting the calories it needs, so it goes into starvation mode. This is when your body will start storing more calories than it should. = more body fat being stored instead of burned.

My best advice is going to be like Joe said, You gotta get up and move. If you cant run than atleast do a fast walk.

I started at 270 pounds back in Feb. I did my diet so it was 1,500 calories 1 day, 2,000 the next. And just repeated that. But you need to make sure its good and healthy food that you are eating. 1,500 calories of candy bars is like asking for a heartattack.

I started my exercise routine by simply walking. I walked 4 miles a day for about 4 weeks. After that I went to 2x 4 mile walks a day for 2 weeks. Then to a 4mile walk and a jog for as long as i could manage for about a month. After that first 2 and a half months i was able to jog a mile at a time pretty well. So I started jogging 1 mile twice a day along with my 4 mile walk.

I was 6'1 270 at the start of feb. and as of the end of may I was down to 220. I now maintain a weight off 220-230 easily. I still run about 4 miles a week, and still watch what i eat, but now my diet is more free up to eat the foods i love.

I wish you the best of luck on your goal and do know that it is possible to get this down without killing yourself. Hardwork and determination and next thing you know you will be checking yourself out in the mirror everytime you walk by one.

Of course that goes without saying, but what i said is a good guideline to go by for beginners. This guy can start right now just based on cutting the 7k calories per week. That way at least he's on his way to a goal while he is doign his proper research on diet and training.

@ OP, if you're planning on dropping that much weight so fast, I don't think it can be done by conventional means. If you're really interested look up some of Lyle McDonald's work. He has a book on a structured crash diet.

Everyone knows the keys to losing weight: Eat less and exercise more. Sounds simple enough, but in the context of real life and its demands, it can be anything but simple.​
