Is Losing 18–20 Pounds in Three Months Possible?

​

I'm trying to lose around 18–20 pounds in the next three months and would appreciate advice from people who have experience with weight loss.

I'm currently 165 pounds, and my goal is to reach around 145–147 pounds. My plan is to run 3.1 miles every day, fast twice a week, and eat two meals a day.

I'm wondering if running 3.1 miles daily, combined with my current eating habits, would be enough to reach my goal within three months. Or would I need to increase my running distance or make other changes to my diet?

For those who have lost a similar amount of weight, how long did it take you, and what worked best? I'd also appreciate any advice on avoiding muscle loss and staying consistent throughout the process.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Would increasing protein and decreasing carbs help fat loss?

More specifically, I am wondering if I up my protein to about 120g and keep my carb cap about 20g will aid in fat loss specifically during weight loss. I know that calories in -> calories out is the ultimate, but I'm wanting to focus on what macros might help with keeping muscle and losing weight.
I have some conditions that don't really allow me to do heavy weight training due to joint subluxations and whatnot (plus living in a place that doesn't have a nearby gym unless I drive 2 hours away every single day which is just impossible with my schedule) and I do not have access to a dietitian or nutritionist who will not just tell me to eat the standard SAD diet. They don't listen to me and have zero clue what EDS even is. My neurologist has checked off for me that I need to eat a high meat-based diet, since vegetables cause pretty bad digestive upset and anything that's really carby in general will give me massive long-lasting migraines that cause weird eyesight and hearing problems. Since nixing carbs, I've not had migraines at all. Only the occasional mild headache. I do include a lot of beef/deer organs in my diet as well and try to go for the fattier meat cuts, since I read in a lot of places that in ketosis fat is the primary source of energy.

This might be a rather dumb question, but I'd like some insight from people who might know more than I do about this topic.

Starting my weight loss journey.. how much loose skin can I expect?

Current weight 105 KG

Goal weight 70 KG

Height 5'11

Age 24 Male

I am aiming to loose 35 KGs within 6 months time period

I plan on lifting dumbells at home.. cardio... calorie deficit around 500 calories... pushups crunches planks etc.. (cant go to gym due to work placement and shifts)

How much loose skin can I expect to have? It is causing me anxiety and also demotivating me to start my journey...

I do have pictures if needed I can DM.... I plan on hydrating a lot and maybe some creams can help?

Reasoning

Hello all! I am looking to lose weight but am having trouble because it seems like my goal weight is so "far away". Does anyone have any tips on how to persevere with weight loss regardless of this?

For context, I lost 30 pounds from January-May of this past year but have gained almost all of it back. When I lost the weight, though, I also lost my period.

Sometimes I catch myself trying to think back on how I lose the weight the first time, but I don't think that is helping me because I keep comparing this time to last time. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you all!

Weight Loss Plan UPDATED

Here’s the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/PetiteFitness/s/oQ0rqZHbvA) to my last post.
For reference I am 26, F, 5’2” and 179 lbs. My goal is 150 lbs, but would also like to be 130 lbs.
I’ve updated my stats! I have yet to weigh myself in, but I’m feeling good about this one.
Calories: 1700kcal (down from 1900)
Protein: 100 g (down from 135g courtesy of my dietician)
Fat: 75g
Fiber: 25g
Carbs: 170g
Steps: 10k
Exercise: 30 min/day

I’m still walking every day (now at a 4-inch incline and 3.2 speed!! I was at a 3-inch incline and 3 speed).
I also do strength training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for another 30 minutes.

I use a Apple Watch and I have the metrics as follows:
Move: 350 cal
Exercise: 40 min
Stand: 12 hr

I’ve been consistent with this setup for 13 weeks now. Do you think I should tweak any of this?

Best non-meal foods for fixing the feeling of an empty stomach?

Most foods recommended for weight loss (ex. fruits, vegetables, yogurts, etc) leave me full but with a 'watery' feeling in my stomach. Like the way that you feel less satisfied after liquid calories compared to a solid meal even if they are equivalent. Very often I'll need something more 'solid' to actually feel satiated (usually end up having toast), especially before bed so it is easier to fall asleep as I often struggle with sleeping in a deficit. Part of this is probably psychological also haha

Any recommended foods that aren't too caloric & are non inflammatory that match what I am wanting? It is really just that I need something that doesn't feel like it's turned to liquid in my stomach but isn't so calorically empty

Medically assisted weight loss.

So I know the basic rules of weightloss. CICO. You can't outrun a bad diet. And even medication and baratric surgery will only provide temporary results if you don't make changes in the long run.

For those of you who sought medical help (surgery, medication, etc) what made you decide to take that step? Did it help you make and sustain the changes that you needed to make? Or do you regret your choice to have surgery/use medication due to side effects/ineffectiveness.

I found out from the hospital that my insurance has zero requirements for weight loss surgery so I don't even have to go through a program as long as I get all the clearances the hospital requires...I could have surgery in as soon as two months.
