15lbs in 5 weeks..possible to lose?

Question

I am 155lbs..at 5'5"..so not terribly overweight, but I should be at least 140 for my body type. My summer break begins in 5 weeks (I'm a teacher) and I want to feel good about getting in my bathing suit at the beach this summer. If you think this might be possible...any tips or personal experience you could pass my way???

Answer

Yes of course it's possible, but it's not exactly a healthy route to take.

Answer

That wouldn't be healthy at your size. Even if you managed it, you probably gain it back plus some once you returned to your normal routine.

Answer

I have two suggestions. In SR year of HS and early college I gained a lot of weight. I was 5'0" and weighed 145lbs. I tried to diet and eat healthy and exercise (I hate exercise) but nothing ever worked for me. Finally senior year of college I set my mind to it.

The first thing I did was to adopt a strict vegan diet for one month. I lost 15 lbs in the first month without even trying and never once felt hungry. I just ate almost all vegetables and beans and fruits. There are a ton of yummy recipes online. My favorite was Portobello burgers :) I then switched to vegetarian after the one month. Two years later I added in fish then chicken and recently added in beef every once in a great while.

Second when that plateaued I started a strict calorie counting diet. I tracked all of the calories I ate in the Calorie Counter app on my phone (it even has a barcode scanner to make things easier). I also tracked all of my exercise, which I have never really been good at keeping up with. It took me almost a year maybe 8 months but I lost a total of 45 lbs doing this! This has never once failed me. You have to keep at it and it isn't easy but it has ALWAYS gotten me results. I wound up gaining a little weight back slowly over the following two years or so and got back up to 118lbs. I got engaged and decided to diet using calorie counting for my wedding and lost 23 lbs! I got down to 95lbs in 6 months!!

Answer

Really?I wish I was 150 right now lol Im at 180 at 5"3 so 150 at 5"5 is perfect(I had a baby 3 month ago and Im pregnant again too)

Answer

10% of your body weight in 5 weeks is pretty extreme. Make healthy changes in your eating and exercise habits and your body composition will definitely improve and you'll look better and feel better and have more energy, but don't set an arbitrary and unattainable goal that is ultimately just a number.
  As far as programs to help make those healthy changes part of your life... 21 day fix, weight watchers, I have used personally with good results.

Answer

I clicked not possible. Not because I think it is not possible to do but because I don't think it is possible to do in a healthy way. Weight is not everything when it comes to health, please keep that in mind. You may not feel the effects this year or even this decade but that kind of crash dieting and rigorous exercise will catch up with you eventually.
