[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason people are giving you crap is because the 4-6 week deadline is stupid. Give yourself 20 weeks to lose it, and it might only take 10. But looking for a quick fix isn't any healthier than the behavior that caused you to gain the weight in the first place. I lost 20 lbs in 20 weeks, twice, by upping my exercise and really watching what I ate. 1-2 lbs/wk is pretty normal if you don't have much to lose. [/quote]

+incredibly stupid. Remember your brain and stomach will be secreting ghrelin and unhappy with severe calorie restriction; will likely binge at some point and feel awful. Be kind to yourself and buy some cheap black pants in your size. Commence with sustainable changes and exercise. Practice a little meditation,  mindfulness and gratitude. It is okay to be upset with weight gain, but gain a little perspective- as a woman you will be doing this for a while and as you age no single thing like quitting wine will yield miracle results in 4-6 weeks.[/quote]
