Healthy weight loss would be prob 2 lbs a week. Anything more than that probably isn't such a good idea, although everyone is different and not all theories or ideas are consistent when it comes to weight loss.

A friend of mine, who was initially quite overweight, had gall bladder surgery and lost anywhere from 5-10 lbs a week for a while. Lost 140 lbs in about 6 months (about 1.5 years ago), she's doing and looking great to this day.

I personally lost a good portion in a short amount of time a few years back. While I've *heard* it's bad, I haven't really seen or experienced any negative side effects (esp muscle loss).

If you've been working out since June, then yes, you could work out twice a day. It'd be a good idea to do cardio for one session (like first thing in the AM) and weights later on in the day. 1.5 hrs each time though... I don't know. I'd work up to that.

Wouldn't hurt to try it.
