how to lose 20-25 lbs by mid-nov?

i am going to the gym- well- i have for the last 4 days.

i have been doing roughly 40-45 minutes of cards and then stuff for arms.

i'm eating less- trying to cut bread out but it's sooo hard for me!! another thing is wine! i love wine! fi and i drink a bottle of wine on the weekends.

i looked into curves but the style isn't for me. neither is ww.

any tips?

Watch your portion sizes! Meats/poultry should be a serving the size of your palm.

Eat plenty of veggies and drink LOTS of water.

Keep doing your cardio and with the weights remember low weight, high reps!

Keep up the good work!

I agree, keep portion low on meat and stuff and drink lots of water.

keep up going to the gym and try to add something diffrent to your routine every once and a while.
Good Luck!

Drink lots of water and this is an old tip - but don't eat three hours before you go to bed. It really makes a big difference.

Last year I lost 25 pounds from March to Memorial day following ww points and no exercise so it can be done...

I'm in the same boat as you...I want to loose around 25 pds by Nov. 2nd.

I did the Body for life program and I lost about 25 pounds in 12-13 weeks. It requires a lot of work outs and eating very healthy. Plus I drank tons of water. The key to it all though is portion control. You can check out the website for more info. www.bodyforlife.com
