50lbs to lose by my 40th birthday!

Hey everyone I'm a newbie and would love to share my journey with someone in a similar situation.
I have just let life get out of control - without boring you all to death it has been a really tough year and I'm just starting to feel a little better and would like to look fabulous for my 40th next April!

Depending on the total weight you need to lose, then 50lbs is doable, but a very tall order - 50lbs in 6 months means losing 2lbs a week, every week and 2lbs a week will get harder to lose as you get closer to your goal. 1lb a week is much more acheivable, but there will be natural ups/downs and plataeus as well!

Thankyou both - lisiloulah - I see you have lost 50lbs that's fantastic!
- How long did it take you and what exercise are you doing at the moment?

It's very doable but it requires determination. You also need support because that makes it so much easier. I started in January and was in horrible shape. I weighed 341, was on meds for high blood pressure and hypertension, cholesterol, and pre-diabetic. With the support of my wife and friends I have lost 110 pounds and am still going. If you want to chat about my journey, get advice, need support, and or motivation feel free to add me. I'm Steve by the way.
