Hi gang!
I am going to Hawaii in 2 months with my family for 15 days. It is a true dream vacation and I really want to go zip linning with my DH. I have lost 70 pounds. BUT I need to lose another 60 pounds to be able to meet the weight requirements. I am on OWL now and am on the alcoohol rung. If I up my exercise by a lot can it be done? I am in this for the long haul, I just know we will not be going back and I don't want to miss my chance.

Thanks
Amy

Personally I would skip the alcohol rung for the next 2 months so as to avoid the 'weightloss postponement' that drinking alcohol is likely to give you.

Alcohol it's not good

Thanks guys, should I drop back my carbs/ or to a lower rung, like one or 2?

Thanks

No - just stay on rung 4 for another week or so before moving up to the next OWL rung. Maybe add 5 net carbs more from the foods you are already eating to see if you are approaching your CCLL?

60 pounds in 2 months? Short of removing a leg - no. You don't even want to try it. A pound a day is just not doable or healthy. But I would work hard any way you never know they might change the weight requirement or misread your weight.

Working on a weight goal with a time goal is tough for me.

Also before you weigh in you can take a sauna and dehydrate a bit like boxers do to stay in their weight category before a competition.

I'm not a big believer in "timed goals" so I personally don't believe 60 pounds in 2 months is a realistic goal. However have you researched into other companies that do zip lining in Hawaii? I found one online that says the weight limit is 260 but you don't have your weight posted and I have no clue where in Hawaii you are going.....Keep us posted if you find one that you can do.

Thanks guys,
I am going to Kauia and there is one place that has a weight limit of 280 , I would just need to drop 25 pounds for that. The one I really want t go on it 250.


Thanks

That is interesting. I never heard of a vacation place that has a weight limit or requirement. I'm speechless!!! Is that common for Hawaii? Anywhere else in the US?

Wanting to loose at least 25 lbs in 2 months is very ambitious. You're the only one who know's your body best. I guess excercising in the right heart rate zone will be very essential to burn lots of fat and not build to much muscle. Good luck to you!
