I am size 16 right now (went up a few sizes throughout highschool). Now that I am in college, and summer is coming, I'm ready to lose all this weight. I am at 180 pounds currently. My short term goals are to lose 2-3 lbs a week, and hopefully lose 25 lbs in 12 weeks (3 months). If I do reach this goal, I will be back down to a size 10/12 (for my height: 5'2") at 155-160 lbs.

After that, my long term goal (aside from keeping the weight off) is to lose 30 more pounds (gradually) until I reach my goal weight of 120. That would make me a size 5 or 6. Is this a realistic goal if I plan on exercising at least 30 minutes a day and count caloric intake based on my BMR? (which changes as you lose weight)

Feel free to share your weight loss experiences.

I had a gastric bypass and was wondering if any other mom's or mom's to be have had weight loss surgery? If so was your pregnancy a normal one? How much weight did you gain? Any other unusual things happen during your pregnancy? My pregnancy is going along normally thus far barring a few unrelated complications, but I was just curious. Thanks in advance

I just signed up for a Gym Membership recently, and I want to do this in a healthy and effective way.
I want to totallllllllllllly firm up my stomach, chest, thighs, and butt.
I'd like to slim down my calves as well.

The gym I go to has just about evvvvvvery piece of equipment you could think of.
My goal is to have all of that accomplished by the time school gets out.

So finally, my questions are:
1) Which types of equipment should I use to accomplish that? (treadmills, bicycle machine, etc??)
2) What foods should I consume to help my weight/inches loss? What should I stay away from?

Thank you in advance.

Like.. Weight watchers… South Beach diet… Or something like that.

i messed up my back awhile ago and im having trouble doing anything like crunches and other things involving my back. my doctor also said i cant lift anything over ten pounds for quite awhile. any ideas? oh and my gf has a rib injury and cant do anything major either. any tips for either situation?

so pretty much i want to lose weight, fast. i tried the seven day soup diet (similar to the sacred heart diet) but it was disgusting, and i couldn't do it for the whole week.

are there any diets out there that give you quick results, that aren't completely gross? i heard something about the grapefruit juice diet, but can't find any information on it. are there any that you have tried that worked well?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Im looking to lose about 7-9 npunds….so far i have been on a diet for about a week. I have been eating smaller meals every 2 to 3 hours (all very healthy I might say…low fat yogurt, nuts, tuna with avocado and tomatoes, peanut butter with apples.and banannas….etc. As well as working out every other day for 30 min on the elliptical and treadmill… My question is does anyone have any other tips…or share your weight loss stories…and how long did it take it for you to see the difference? Thanks!!!
