Is it possible to lose 35lbs in 3 months on weight watchers?
Going away April 29th to the islands. Would love to take off at least 35 lbs. I weigh 175 lbs and i’m 5 ft 5 in. I exercise at the gym very minimally. Help! Is it possible? I’m looking to communicate with someone who has had success on Weight Watchers and is willing to give me a push, offer advice, recipes and a daily lecture for success.
I’ve heard of the weight watchers program but no nothing about it. However, I will say that the fastest you can lose weight is 1-2lbs of fat per week. Any more will be water weight (which you will gain right back the second you take a drink of water) and muscle (not good!). So in 3 months you might be able to lose up to 24lbs of pure fat. In the very beginning, you might lose fat a little bit faster than 2lbs per month, but don’t expect that rate of fat loss to continue when you get closer to your natural weight.
To lose fat:
1. DON’T BELIEVE THOSE FAD DIETS! DIET PILLS ARE GIMMICKS!
2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Unless you are 4ft tall, a 1,200 calorie a day diet is DANGEROUS and won’t work in the long run.
3. Calculate your BMR. Do a google search. A good calculator would ask for your age, height, weight, and activity level.
4. Eat healthy and eat about 500 calories a day less than your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight.
5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up. Each meal should include fruits, veggies, water, and protein.
5. Drink at least 64oz (8 8oz glasses) of water a day. No soda (that includes diet soda).
6. Do light/moderate cardio 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. Running, bicycling, and swimming are great for this.
7. Do some strength training to make sure you lose fat and not muscle. Don’t worry; you won’t look like the hulk if you lift weights.
8. You should lose about 1-2lbs per week. If you lose more than that, chances are the rest is stool, water weight, or even muscle mass.
9. Weigh yourself only once a week at the same time (ie every Friday morning). Your weight fluctuates a lot during any 24hour period because of water and food intake and also bowel movements.
Be patient and be smart. If you follow this guideline you will be very happy with your results.
Hi, i have just done Weightwatchers and lost 2 stone roughly 28lb’s and that took me around 9 months. i think it is possible to loose 35lbs but not in 3 months. WW is about maintaining a new healthy way off life and is not a quick fix.
Definatly go for it because if you remain focus you can easily loose over a stone and a bit by then and look fab! just remember be sensible and you dont have to starve yourself to be thin.
Good luck
I think it’s possible I was on weight watcher’s and I lost 10 lbs my first week on the program. It really just depends on how you follow the plan and exercise.
