Losing 10-12lbs


Question
Hi Lawrence, I have a simple inquiry. You see, I'll be taking a physical education college course for a required credit (it's a power walking class) and I wanted to know if it's possible to lose 10-12lbs in that time-frame? The course will only last one month. I used to be 50lbs over-weight but I got into "Zumba" last year and dropped 40lbs. However, I went off to college and just let the last 10lbs sit, shame on me. Anyway, I'm 5'6" and currently weight aprox. 150lbs. Even though my BMI is healthy, I want to play more to my athletic build; so therefore, I'll be satisfied at 140lbs. Help me get there? Thanks! Oh and I'll be 20yrs next month.

Answer
Who's Lawrence? :)

Is it POSSIBLE to lose 10-12 pounds in a month? Sure, if you work real hard. Any tricks or gimmicks you use will most likely just make the weight come right back on again when you stop the tricks. The heavier and more out of shape you are at the start, the faster the weight will come off INITIALLY, but then you'll usually plateau after a few weeks.

Normal, HEALTHY weight loss is a pound or two per week. So in a month of eating right and exercising, expect to lose 4-8 pounds.
