Possible to lose 20lbs in one month?

I lost 20 lbs two summers in a row at Marine Corps OCS training during the first 5 weeks; the pace would slow in the 6th week so I would gain a couple back. The keys to my weight loss were:

1. Diet. No alcohol, no dessert, no snacks between meals

no late night eating; otherwise ate any and everything.

2. Avg of 1-2 hours of intense physical excercise every day including 80% running, 20% fast hiking with full pack.

3. Generally a 18-20 hour workday with no rest or nap.

you might want to lay off 'testing your gear' so often or you will go blind. If you had balls you'd tell me who you are...since you obviously know where I live.

kimmy! i can tell where you live just from your li'l self-satisfied spoiled daddy's girl know-it-all 'tude. but hey that's cool! i like slightly dumb cali chicks. especially ones who shave! and am i glad you learned to use a spell-checker!! i like 'em dumb, but not as dumb as all that!

Oh Kimmy! This vison of your nether regions is driving me wild! You know I have a huge crush on you. After my long run today (3 miles!) I will have to tug one off because of your naughtiness (if I'm not too tired!)

For all the shit you talk about spelling, your grammar is atrocious.

How can I be a daddy's girl when my father has passed away? You are a TOOL.

16 pounds gone now. Looks like I lost the weight that was easy to lose but I have to become more serious with my diet. There were some nights where I had to eat something. (I know, nothing to eat after 7:00PM if you're trying to lose weight) I never knew I could sleep so good when I'm not drinking alcohol at all. I'm sure I'll relapse someday.

You guys may commence your bickering.

You lay off Kimmy, you creep. Or I will get really mad!

Calories in, calories out. That's all you really need to monitor.

Nice try, but the period after the name gives it away. Nice to see that you are so bored, you thought you'd post as someone else.

What are you talking about, you (as Kimmy would say) TOOL?

BTW--Kimmy is with me right now!

Ethan,

Just ignore him! He is a TOOL!!! YOU are my hero!

2lbs per week is the maximum healthy weight loss I believe. If you want to lose a lot of weight quickly, however, how about you just stop drinking water or chop off your arm.

please! i am begging you (no joke)! PLEASE tell me your name is NOT "ethan".

not that there's anything at all wrong with it, but are you gay by any chance? the only reason i'm asking is 'cause, well for one, she called you "ethan" and two, your postings make you seem a little, shall we say, fussy. but dude, if you are gay, hey, no prob! just wonderin'.

Sure, why not?

lots of real cold water. really. your metabolism will speed up by warming it up in your stomach. combine with running too though. you will lose weight.

banana and peanut butter on bagels with the pb spread lightly. this will give you fuel for running and not be too weight gaining inclined. and lots of water. it will make you feel full.

good luck!

that punkass cheis carmichael has a cookbook now. he looks kinda fat on the tour coverage though.

just wanted to bump this thread back up to where it belongs

keep it coming

well boys, ol' headman's back with some more tips for how to bag the young ones. i'll tell ya, i had me a good workout yesterday afternoon--did 18 miles in 1:50. easy run. again, i'm 43, 5'8", 128 lbs and yesterday afternoon i measured 7 % bf. pretty damn good if i do say so myself. so the lesson for today is--keep yourself in fine form like me and you too may someday bag the 20 something girls. ok ok ok, i know i may sound conceited, but there you have it. don't hate me cause i'm beautiful!

Here's a better tip: Eat all you want. Skip the afternoon workout and stay at work longer. Make $500,000 a year (unless you live in NYC or California, then make $1,000,000 a year).
