So i am currently 309lbs, and in about a month I am hoping to loose about 30lbs all together by the end of summer (about 3 months). The monthly goal is about 10 lbs or more. I am going to a wedding July 24th in Sacramento California, and I wearing an adorable dress, that might look just a bit better if i just lost a bit more weight. I am hoping to loose about 20lbs by then. I carry alot of weight in my hips and legs, and a little in my arms, I tend to loose weight first in my torso and arms.
So the plan I am going to follow is pretty regimented. I am going to be doing a shake diet (Kirkland weight loss shakes). About two a day and eating a cliff bar or full bar to supplement, and for the rest of the day eat only fruits and veggies. Apart of my problem also lies in the fact that I eat after five o clock and I use to practice that but got out of the habit.
Let's see where this takes me by July 24th.

I know your diet sure wouldn't work for me but I wish you luck with your goal before the wedding. I've been losing more than 10 pounds a month recently by eating 1300 to 1500 calories a day of whole healthy food and getting a reasonable amount of exercise (taking the dogs for a long walk and trying to do some Wii fit 4 or 5 days a week so not strenuous at all). Losing weight fast is easier when we're really over weight so I think you'll have good results. But I also think you'd then keep the weight off more easily if you went with a diet that was more sustainable than shakes and "health" bars.....

Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Welcome & Good Luck!

I am also new here! I have been doing the South Beach Diet for about 2 months and I have lost 30lbs! I love the SB Diet, it has been so easy and producing results. I eat ALL the time (good stuff of course) and I am never hungry. I highly recommend it. I did try the calorie counting method and noticed that I cheated a lot because it was too hard to keep up with so good luck, I know how difficult it is!! =)
