Just looking for some feedback :)

so today I start my "65 day challenge". My goal is to lose as much weight as possible before December 19 (when I go back home for winter break). I also want to get a bigger butt, smaller waist, thinner arms, flat stomach and tone up everywhere. I am currently 200.4 pounds. I am 5'5. My bmi is 33.3. I'm obese. Here's my plan for the next 65 days:

First 30 days:
•5:2 diet (900 cals 5x a week, 500 cals 2x a week)
•Intense cardio (everyday, 1 hour), upper body workout (odd days, 30 mins), lower body workout (even days, 30 mins), quick ab workout (everyday, 5- 10 mins), squat challenge (everyday)

Next 30 days:
•2:5 diet (500 cals 5x a week, 900 cals 2x a week)
•Intense cardio (everyday, 1 hour), upper body workout (odd days, 45 mins), lower body workout (even days, 45 mins), quick ab workout (everyday, 5-10 mins), weighted squat challenge (everyday)

Last 5 days:
•Juice fast

Also the food that I'll eat will be healthy (Greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, salads, fruit, shrimp and other fish, turkey and chicken, etc)

Could some one possible look through this and reply with feedback? I think it's a good plan but I want some other opinions

any suggestions or criticism is welcome!

I think you need to flux your calories more and add a high day once a week. like 1200 cal day. Also since you are working out so much make sure you get at least 50 grams of protien a day. It will keep you full and help rebuild your muscle. I only count calories and and protein. If your eating high protein your carbs will be naturally low. http://www.livestrong.com/article/261245-100-calorie-protein-snacks/

Good luck!

I'd maybe suggest boosting your 900 cal days to 1200? You'll still lose (at least 2lbs a week at your current BMI

) and on a big deficit (ie below 1200) it's actually impossible for your body to build muscle. So you'll still lose muscle and won't "tone", I'm afraid. It's also much better to do this in terms of nutrition (make sure you're getting plenty of protein and healthy fats!) and to avoid loose skin.

I sound like a massive hypocrite because I restrict massively right now, but I know it's better to eat more from an objective, non-ED distorted stand point. 1200 is a restrictive diet and you will absolutely lose weight. And probably look better.

I don't know if binging is a problem for you, but again if you're taking in about 1200 clean eating, you'll reduce cravings by a lot and you just won't be as tempted to binge.

Ahh! 1200 scares me! But 1100 for some reason doesn't, sooo I switched the 900 days to 1100. thanks for the advice!
