How To Lose 40 Pounds In Two Months With Katie
My name is Katie Marie Peterson and I started my weight loss journey on March 31, 2013. After 2 months I managed to lose 40 pounds. When I began my journey I was 211 pounds and I was pretty devastated.
I’ve gone over that point and I’ve been working very hard and after 2 months I weighed 165.6 pounds which means I have lost 45.4 pounds. And that just feels incredible!
How To Lose 40 Pounds
I want to help anyone who’s trying to lose 40 pounds, pretty much telling what I’ve done. In the beginning, I wasn’t as good but now I’ve been into a routine. By the way, routines really help to lose weight.
Work Out Hard
I’ve been working out every single day, 7 days a week. I know that sounds a little bit overboard but if you’re trying to lose 40 pounds in 2 months and you don’t want to gain it back instantly, you really need to exercise hard.
I’ve been working out 2 hours on the elliptical every single day. At the beginning of my weight loss journey, I wasn’t able to work out as much as I am now. So I would maybe do 100 minutes a day and I didn’t realize there are resistance levels. I was doing level zero but I was still putting in the effort.
My eating wasn’t the best either, but if you really wanna lose even more weight than 40 pounds you need to start eating well from the very beginning. I write down every day what I eat and what I work out and it really helps me keep tracking. I looked at what I was eating and on my first day of working out I was like:
“Oh I did really good, I had a bean and chees burrito for lunch and for dinner I had a hand full of Fritos and two tacos. I did good for today.”
I wondered why I wasn’t losing as much weight. 🙂
I’ve been losing consistently 5 pounds every single week and in the 8th week, I lost 4 pounds in just 4 days. This means that what I’m doing is still working. This is why I wrote this post because I think this method will work on you too.
So if you want to achieve fast weight loss, you need to exercise regularly or even on a daily basis like me.
Eat Less And Healthy
I’ve been eating Cheerios like no other. They’re 110 calories per serving (one cup) and compare to other cereals they are low in calories and taste really great.
I’ve been having a bowl of Cheerios every breakfast and then for lunch I have a salad and some grapes. I know no one likes salad but if you want to lose 40 pounds in two months you need to eat some.
For dinner, I have another bowl of Cheerios and for snacks, I have a couple of fruits.
Today I had almost a full pack of grapes for myself and then ran three miles! Tonight is this low-calorie dish of broccoli, carrots, celery, onion, Brussels sprouts, egg whites, and pistachios. Not seasoning or oil! Here is a pic:
Two different delicious lunch options: quinoa wrap or tomato basil pesto sandwich. Photo below:
So if you want to lose 40 pounds in two months, I recommend you to:
- Work out for 2 hours on elliptical every single day. And if you don’t like the elliptical, try a total body workout program.
- Eat low-calorie cereals like Cheerios, a lot of salad, fruit as snacks, and veggies.
This program is extreme, so you’ll feel really tired. Be careful and if you don’t feel well, just stop this process. This is the way I’ve done it and it worked for me. Hope it works great for you too, and you’ll manage to lose 40 pounds in two months, as I did.
Here is a before and after picture. As you can see, I’m confident enough to leave my manly workout shorts aside. And yes, I have my boobs done. 🙂
Okay, so I am a 15 year old female. I’m 5″8 and weigh 180. I’ve tried everything possible and it’s super hard for me to lose. I don’t have very good self esteem because my own parents and family tell me I’m fat and I look like I’m pregnant. I… Read more »
Hi Katie, This does not seem like a very healthy diet to promote on the internet. I am sure younger girls than you are looking at this and going I’m going to do this. Do you really think eating the same thing everyday is good for you. I think you… Read more »
Could you possibly tell me what exercises you did so I know the best possible ones and what you regularly eat or is what you had already mentioned is all you eat… because personally I wouldn’t be able to eat the same thing everyday xD please and thanks so much
Her before and after is a 94lbs difference in 4 months! Look her up on youtube and insta: misspinkmeltsaway
I’m happy for your success, but this is kind of terrible advice. If one is trying to get fit or just be healthy, then you need to cut out the processed shit, including cereal. Look at the ingredients list. There’s plenty in there that should scare you. I didn’t see… Read more »
You look amaizing! Great job! Thank you for sharing?
Hi Katie, I too have lost over 40 lbs in two months, my diet was much different, but I am not one to criticize others as different things work for different people. I am continuing to lose weight until I get to my goal and are glad to hear your… Read more »
Thank you very much for your story.
It is hard to lose 40 pounds.
But, if you follow all the rules, you can see how your pounds melt in just a few months.
The most important steps are setting up a goal, changing diet and increasing physical activities.
the 17 day diet is MUCH more reasonable and you can lose close to this much weight also…your diet and exercise routine is super extreme…if you are constantly tired, you are not eating properly…and i’m reading so many comments from young kids on here it makes me sad/scared…The biggest “goal”… Read more »
