I think it's important to have realistic expectations here - 20kg in a month is a massive weight loss, and you're setting yourself up for failure if that's your goal. Even 5kg in a month is a lot.
A far more realistic and attainable goal is 1-2kg a month.
(Don't use The Biggest Loser as a guide to how much weight you can drop in a week!)
- citrik 12y agoYea this is really good advise! I've struggled with weight all my life and setting an extreme goal like that is an easy trap to fall into. When you have a big goal and don't make it, you keep yourself from feeling good about the slow but positive progress. I often feel bad about this and just fall back into old habits again and end up where I started or worse. Slow and steady definitely wins the race.
