Who's lost weight on a calorie count diet?

How much weight did you lose in 5 months?

Watching ********

For me, I NEVER lost weight until I started counting calories along WITH working out.

I used myfitness pal app to record my calories- about 1200 a day with some more depending on cardio and I did zumba 3-5 times a week for an hour.

I lost 20lbs in about 3 months.

It depends.

The first time -with 40lbs in 5 months.

The second time -- around 15lbs.

I lost about 25lbs in that amount of time.

I just started one 3 days ago and already see a difference.

In the past, counting calories always worked. When I was 19 I lost 40 pounds in 5 months, but I was cutting too many calories (consuming about 500) and exercising too hard (running 3 to 5 miles a day)

I was sick a lot during that time.


Now I am eating 1200 + 300 for breastfeeding.

you know calories aren't the only thing you need to worry abuot right? Fat, sodium, etc etc.

I'm hoping to lose 45lbs before I go to the beach this year but I wasn't sure if that's to much to try for I want to keep it off.

Quoting ~Brittany Lee~:" How much weight did you lose in 5 months?"

you can safely lose about 40 lbs in 5 months. I think that's about how long it took me. I ate about 1200 calories a day, and worked out.

if you use Myfitnesspal .com it really helps track what you eat, how much you work out, and how much extra you need to eat so you don't put your body into starvation mode
