I need to Lose 75lbs in 8 months?

Yes you heard right. I have a son and the weight wont come off. My husband has a tour in Iraq and wont be back until Feb. or March and I want to surprise him by losing the wieght. But I dont know where to start. I will be staying witht he Inlaws and they have a tredmil, bikes and stair stepper and they live around hiking trails. I need a plan so that i can stick to it. Let me just tell you nothing i have tried works i think that is because i am so very far away from family and friends and its stressful raising a child and caring for my husband and doing nothing for myself. Now is the time for me to do what i have to so if you have been in the same boat or whatever please help me reach my goal. Oh did i forget to mention my husband and i have a bet going. he thinks i wont do it and i know i will if i win i get $4000. For new clothes. So please i need your help. And just so you know i was going to do this before i found out about the cash. The money is just motivation.

Money shouldn't;t be the only motivation/Think of how Great you would look once you shed those pound off. First off Diet is the main thing eat healthy and right. You all ready had your time to eat all the food you wanted while you were pregnant. Remember that when you exercise it doesn;t stop when you begin to feel the burn that's when the workout truly begins you have to push your self further then what your body can take. If people can lose 20 pounds in 1 month then it should only take you about 4 months to really lose 75 pounds . I know it's hard and at times you might just want to give up but stay dedicated. Eat healthy things like. Grilled Chiken. Lean meats. anything you eat would be better grilled rather then fried. Fresh begetables. Fruits. Lotts and lots of water before a workout alos maybe a bannana. STAY AWAY FROM SODA you would be suprised how much weight you can lose not drinking soda , it might taste good but it will make you feel lousy and fat. Do not eat any junk food.Fast food. Sweets. such as cake.cookies.Etc. I know you can do it. GOOD LUCK

You need to lose 2.3lbs each week to lose 75lbs in 8 months - so that is doable, it's just going to mean you can't cheat on your diet at all. Try Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig and workout everyday. Good luck.

If you can get yourself to stick to eating healthy and excercising, then you shouldn't have any problems
we don't know you or your body so we cannot customize a plan for you.

first make a plan runon a tredmill for twenty minutes, crunches will work, healthy food, hike for an hour or more a day and step for 30 minuted a day it seems like a ot but it can work

omg good luck
just stick to eating well,exercise for about 30 mints everyday RUN JOG BE ACTIVE,RUN AROUND WITH YOUR SON ..good luck and thank ur husband for being in iraq and protecting america :]

Wow good luck!

I lost 40 pounds in two weeks. But I was in Basic Training in the Army. I also became dangerously anemic and at one point couldn't move my legs. I also hallucinated. I don't recommend that at all!
The most important thing for you in this endeavor is to make sure you are getting all the right vitamens and essential foods each and every day. If you live in a hot place, like I live in Florida, and you are going to start excersizing a lot***stay hydrated***.
Also, swimming is a really great way to lose and maintain weight. I have multiple injuries to my body from broken bones and other things as a result of severe domestic violence abuse and I'm now Disabled. Swimming is proving to be a wonderful way to excersize and I'm actually losing some weight without hurting my body.
You know the key to losing weight is so simple!

Eat less and excersize more! That's it!

You can do it. Eat three squares a day and do the excersize that's right for you. Something you like to do. If you do something you hate you WILL not stick with it.

Biking? Horseback riding? How about going to some places where you and a buddy can hike up mountains or something really cool like that?

Good Luck! I know you can do it! The reward you will get is incredible! Man, I wish I had a deal like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want some new clothes.

Remember, you CAN do this.

Here is my email-write to me every day if you want and let me know how things are going. I want to know ok? Jane08012005@yahoo.com

Also remember-You can slip, but just don't Fall. By that I mean if one day you eat a cake all by yourself and don't move a muscle, don't get yourself down about it. Just know you have the next day ok? The worst thing is messing up and then giving up.

Best Wishes,

Spell Check timed out on me...sorry.

How I lost weight:
-reduce portions
-Reduce carbs
-Increase protein
-Got up early and worked out EVERY morning and lifted weights

The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn at any give time.
My exercise rutine:
10-warm up(jogging)
20+ minuted of weights (separating triceps and chest, biceps and back , and legs and butt. you can work out your abs EVERY day.
and last but not least 30+ minutes of cardio that will keep your heart rate at your "fat burning zone"

Good luck!

? maybe the reason you cant do it is because your own husband doesnt believe in you...a bet?????? and hes going against you..thats rude as hell...just exercise alot and eat as healthy as you can ...i cant imagine why the weight wouldnt melt right off....just eat tons of veggies and chicken and fish...fruit ...yogurt ...cereal...eggs....if i were you i would eat like 1600 calories a day keep a journal so you know your not going over...and when you reach your goal..your not going to be able to go back to eating however you want...you kinda have to totally change your life...or it wont work...you can still have things you love SOMETIMES...but way less then you probably do now...good luck i know you can do it! have fun spending your 4000 dollars...

what I'm about to tell you is not your solution just something to jump start your weight loss go to your obgyn or weight loss center and get PHENTERMINE works great i have been on it twice in six years both times I lost 25 pounds in 3 months,while you are on it stick with a 1500 calorie diet drink lots of water it helps to flush out the fat and since you will be on the pills you will have tons of energy so put it to good use and work out,you must stay determined good luck

First thing - check your basal metabolic rate. This will tell you how many calories you need to consume each day to lose weight. So you need to keep a log of what you eat each day and how many calories are in what you eat. As long as you are eating less than your basal metabolic rate, you will lose weight. Also, eat six small meals or snacks per day, instead of two or three large meals. This will also get your metabolism to work faster, which means burning more fat!

Next - begin an exercise program. Try to exercise for one hour a day, and give yoruself one day off per week. If you can jog 5km per day, you will lose 1lb per week. That is what I did and it works! Do not try to lose more than 1 or 2 pounds per week or you will become unhealthy - remember, slow and steady wins the race...you want your body to adjust and your metabolism to speed up so that you will remain at a lower weight. If you get too skinny too fast, you will gain it all back because your body hasn't had time to adjust.
