It looks like a great way to get tips from others who are also trying to lose weight like you. Well I'm going school shopping in 6 weeks, and I would like to be 20 pounds lighter. I was just wondering if it's possible to lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks. I was thinking about getting on the treadmill 6 times a day[burning 150 calories each time I get on] and then only eating 1200 calories a day. I'm pretty sure I can get on the treadmill 6 times a day, because I mostly stay home all day, so that would give me something to do. Tips? Thoughts? Thanks.

It's different for everyone. But if you really try hard you CAN lose 20 or close to 20. Good luck and keep us updated !!! :)
