    80 pounds would be pushing it in 10 months. You'd have to very aggressively hit 2 pounds per week for the remainder of the year. But 40-60 should be doable.

    I have an overall total goal, but I have short term goals at 5 pound intervals which may take 1-2 weeks to achieve, but I just keep plugging away and enjoy the journey as this is going to be my lifestyle not a diet. You can definitely do it and make sure you are doing it for yourself not for anyone else. I find because I am doing it as a lifestyle and for myself this time, I am seeing better results and feel great. I know I will have rough patches and bad days but that is life, I just need to reset and continue on!

    One day at a time and love yourself for each success small or big! You are worth it!

    I need to lose 100 pounds. And it's tough on me cause I've always been skinny and now I am just a mess. I mean I don't even like to weight myself cause I know the number I am going to get. But I just started today and so far I feel good. But my question is, if I will keep up with it? I would love support & I can be a friend as well.

    I've dropped 43 so far (already had shed 13 before I signed up for MyFitnessPal) and still have 50-ish to go. I started in early October of last year.

    I've walked and gotten quite good at paying attention to what I eat. I also build "cheat" days into my life because a life without pizza is a life I don't want any part of. :smile:

    I've had a couple of frustrating plateau's,but kept going. It's been a journey and one I intend keeping on.

    Make sure that you eat enough to keep going. Otherwise, your body will go into starvation mode and pull nutrients from your muscle and not any fat, which it will horde. I'd also suggest scaling back your weekly goal to something more manageable and healthy like 2-2.5 per week on average.

    Drink plenty of water, and avoid soda of all kinds for a while.

    I'm returning for the nth time (I've lost count), and I have ~60 pounds to lose (according to BMI, it should be 70-110, but BMI doesn't take into account my natural frame and body type).

    I need to lose almost 200 lbs!!!!!!! Long history, saga, whatever, but I finally decided I HAD to do this in order to live and to live without multiple medical issues and constant pain. I hope I will be accepted for bariatric surgery next year, but meanwhile, I ask all of you for support and will, in turn, support you. I know how to do this and could give out all sorts of advice, but I just keep sabotaging myself.
