Answer 1

Losing 65 lbs in 7 months is realistic, but you have to work hard. Getting down to 150 can happen too if you are determined, but it might take a little longer. Weight training combined with cardio is the way to go for ultimate fat loss. Focus on building muscle in the gym by working out 3 to 4 times per week. You can do full body routines, or split the body up into two (i.e. upper body one day, lower body the next). On your non workout days perform your cardio. High intensity interval cardio is best for fat loss. That can be sprinting for 30 seconds, walking for 1 minutes, repeat. As far as diet goes, it seems you're already making healthier choices. Keep at it and if you falter on your diet every once in a while, don't worry. Just get back on track as soon as possible.

Answer 3

check with an endocrinologist for any hormonal imbalance like thyroid or PCOS.  you don't need to starve yourself to lose wieght. infact sometimes, you need to eat more protein, to burn the fat!  

for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent  carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25  per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Needless to say, NO soda, chips, cookies! Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

dieticians offer eally good suggestions that r easy to follow. go to one
