Is it possible for me to get from 270lbs down to 123lbs?

Question

My sister and friends tells me it is not due to my large bone structure. They said 150 - 180 would be more ideal for me. I want to get to 123lbs. I am 5ft 8. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes it is.  First check with your doctor and get a complete physical to determine why it is that you may be gaining weight in the first place.  Then if everything is okay eliminate the cakes, cookies, cheeses, and fried foods first.  We all know that those things are taboo for anyone.  Then let your doctor prescribe a diet for you and go for it! Good luck.

Answer 2

how bout once you reach 180

see if you like it

or if your still unhappy try getting down to 150

& so on and so on

good luck

Answer 3

No that's a HUGE jump. My friend is going to get stomach surgury and she weighs 320lb. Her ideal weight is going to be 180lb, but that is estimated over a year a half.

I think 123 is really small especially for someone who is as tall as you. I am 5ft. 3, and weigh 110. You are 5 inches taller. I would go for more of an idealistic approach like the 150-180. Once you are there you can see for yourself if you are happy with what you look. But have a realistic goal at first. Good luck!

Answer 4

Of course it is with sensible dieting and exercise. But won't happen just like that it might even take a few years, but it will be worth it. However I feel you should take a your height in consideration. Why don't you see your doctor, or check online for a BMI chart.
