Take it slow, relax, results are inevitable if you stick with it. For me around 2000 or so calories aday, weight lifting 3 days a week, cardio every week day, even if its just walking, and eventually I'm gonna reach this goal. It could take 5 months to lose 40 pounds. But if i get it done the healthy way, its a win win situation. Why lose 30 pounds in a month if its all lean mass. Build muscle, burn fat, eventually that weight is gonna go down. once a week weight in,and PBF checks. keep track of calorie intake. I only drink pure Water, maybe a propel fitness water on occasion. No Diet pop, or regular pop. its so easy to only eat around 2000 calories, infact i have to make sure to eat every 3 or so hours, just to reach that amount, it is like im sacrificing nothing, but fast food and empty calories, that make me feel like **** when I eat them anyway. I really believe that this will work ,and im going to get the job done
