Losing Weight Advice
OK, I am not beautiful or svelte - in any way. However, about 4 weeks ago, I started doing something about it and have dropped 16lbs. If I keep things up at this rate, I should be pretty much within 'reasonable' parameters by the new year.
Now, I've never done this before, but I want to know how realistic this is. i.e. is it normal to expect to loose 4lbs a week for 8 weeks?
Currently, I'm training in the gym most nights (doing between 500 and 1000 calories as measured by whatever I'm on) and trying to avoid eating in the evenings. I do let myself have a glass of red wine in the evenings, and want to stick to say, a banana or some kind of fruit in the mornings.
I also want to allow myself a big night out at the weekend and don't mind one or two 'slipups'.
What do you people think? Is this doable? Is it healthy? I need something that I can see visible and measurable results, otherwise I am liable to get bored and loose all interest.
