How To Lose Easy Weight In Two Months

Two months is more than enough time to lose easy weight. You can lose about 8 to 16 lbs. within two months, depending on your caloric intake and amount of physical activity. Making easy changes to your lifestyle will not only cause weight loss, but your fitness level will improve and your body will be much healthier.

Step 1

Set weekly goals until you reach two months. Each week strive to lose at least 1 lb. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, losing 1 to 2 lbs. is typical for healthy weight loss. Losing more than 2 lbs. per week is difficult to maintain for long, and the weight can be regained as quickly as you lost it.

Step 2

Exercise for at least 60 minutes most days of the week. Pick activities you enjoy to make it easier to perform for longer periods of time. The more active you are, the more calories you will burn. For example, an hour of full-court basketball can burn more than 800 calories, depending on your weight, according to Health Status Internet Assessments. If you don't have an hour, be active several times a day--20 minutes three times a day or 10 minutes six times a day. Three to five days of physical activity, for 60 to 90 minutes, may be necessary to lose weight, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

Step 3

Stop overeating and reduce your caloric intake. Many people overeat because food is available and accessible, according to Dr. Phil McGraw, author of "The Ultimate Weight Solution." Get rid of junk foods, high-calorie, sugary, salty and fatty foods. Replace junk food with healthy foods such as lean meats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A woman's diet should consist of at least 1,200 calories per day and 1,800 calories for a man, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

Step 4

Add physical activity and simple exercise throughout your day. For example, park farther from the mall, take the stairs instead of the elevator, scrub your floors instead of using a mop or walk to work instead of driving. Every little bit of activity will burn more calories throughout the day.

Step 5

Join a sport that requires physical conditioning. For example, boxers need stamina and strength to excel in the ring. Physical conditioning will strengthen your muscles, improve your fitness level and cause weight loss. Being successful in the sport should be your goal and weight loss will be the reward instead of the focus.
