How I lost 68 pounds (IN 6 months) - STEP 2 - Creating a timeline (NEW)

After losing 68 pounds in six months I wanted to share a complete guide on how I did it. I've shared my system with other people in my life and they've had fantastic results. I thought it was time to share it with the rest of the world.

If we attach a timeline to our goals we will be able to achieve accelerated weight loss.
 
In my life, when I set deadlines I accomplish more than when I don't. For example, when I was in high school every Saturday morning in the summer I knew I needed to get a car wash, but I always seemed to put it off. It wasn't until I became goal-oriented and started to set deadlines that I actually got tasks done. Right now, in my driveway is a clean car.
 
This same principle applies to weight loss. Before my weight-loss journey, I set a goal to lose weight, but I didn't do anything about it. It wasn't until I set a deadline that I started to see significant weight loss, fast.

So how do I set a proper deadline?
I would love to tell you if you set a goal to lose 70 lbs in one month that you'd be able to accomplish that, but that is unrealistic. Obviously.
1  When setting a deadline, have proper expectations. There is only so much weight you can lose in a finite amount of time. Remember, we are not starving ourselves or crash dieting. The impetus for setting a deadline is to spring us into action and keep us focused.  If we set an unrealistic goal it can become overwhelming and we give up.

2 Generally, Aiming for 10 lbs of weight loss a month is reasonable. During my weight-loss journey, I lost 68 lbs in 6 months. In the early part of my weight loss, I lost more than 10 lbs in a month and in the last couple of months, I lost less weight.  If you plan properly, that's what we're doing here,  you can lose over 10 lbs a month in a healthy manner.
It's also important to remember if you do not have that much weight to lose in the first place your rate of weight loss will be less than if you are starting weight is higher.

3  it is better to set a deadline in the 6 to 12-month range. Setting the deadline less than 3 months is not desirable because it takes the body time to build up stamina. During that initial phase after you lose water weight, the body is building muscle density so meaningful weight loss won't be as pronounced.  Once your body builds up enough stamina to work out without being sore,  your weight will drop at a fast rate.  Some people are able to build stamina faster than other people. That all depends on whether you were an athlete at a younger age, genetics, and many other factors. However, in general, committing to a 6 to 12-month window is more effective for long-term weight loss.

Summary

1) You will lose weight faster when you set a time commitment
2) Set a realistic goal. 10 lbs or more a month is achievable
3) Ideally, you should commit for at least 6 months. It takes time for your body to build stamina to exercise at a fat burning intensity for a sustained period of time.
