Can I safely lose two inches in my waist within 6 months by dieting and exercise?
I am 40 years old, will turn 41 in January. I currently weigh 220 lbs.; 5"10.25 height; waist size is 36.75 inches; and I used to lift weights. I do not lift weights anymore,but I will start once I can run 1.5 miles without stopping. I can run the 1.5 mile in 14 minutes, but I have to stop and walk. As far as my diet, I am not drinking sodas, I drink plenty of water, and as of August, I stopped eating sweets (When I go home for Xmas, I will have to eat mom's chocolate cake), I have not had a drink of alcohol since Feb of last year. I try to limit eating out as much as possible and when I do, I try not eat a lot of fast food. I want to get down to a 34 inch waist. So any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to add, that I do not want to take any type of fat burner or any other exotic pills.

- drink a lot of water....to stay hydrated you need to drink at least 110 oz of water a day and for every 10 pounds you want to loose you need to drink an additional 10 oz of water..so if you wanna weigh 180 you need to drink at least 150 oz of water a day and continue your excercise routine
- i went from a 44 to a 38 in 6 months so i think you can do it. i'd say if you have to stop and walk during that running, try to run at a lower speed that you can maintain for 2 miles and add that to your workouts. also, add a second type of aerobic exercise besides running, because cross training will help you become fit quicker. I alternate between running and using an ellptical machine. it sounds like a lot of the other things you are doing are right. good luck.
