You weigh 225 how long will it take for you to reach a goal weight of 140?

Well it took me 2 months to lose 28 pounds rigorous weight lifting and running oh and i started at 230 so it should take you about 7-11 months or so depending on how u diet and exercise Well, how many pounds are you losing a month? Do the math. Remember that you're trying to lose ~38% of your current weight. That's going to require substantial lifestyle changes which you'll need to maintain for life in order to be successful. Slow and steady wins the race here. Remember that the changes you make are ones that you're going to have to keep doing, or else you'll gain the weight back. The biggest challenge to your weight-loss is not physical, but rather mental. Doing too much too quickly could have you balk at maintaining such a routine and end up noncompliant and unable and unwilling to continue. I would put 2 years as an optimistic point to reach your goal weight. Take it slow, take it steady. Remember that this is your health and your life at stake- do it right or pay the price.
