    Work on losing the weight without such a short time frame. That would be better for you health wise, than going the 90 day route, in my opinion.

    Slow and steady is much better than trying to crash lose.

    50 pounds in 3 months, perhaps if you had the weight loss surgery. Otherwise I would say not possible. I would enter your stats and go by the caloric recommendation MFP gives you. You are lovely, btw.

    You say all advice is welcomed, so here goes: Set realistic goals.

    Fifty pounds in ninety days is a net weight loss of 3.89 pounds per week, or nearly four pounds. You want to burn fat and gain muscle. This sets the bar even higher, as you want to GAIN lean body mass (muscle is lumped in with that, which is everything that you carry around on your body that isn't fat). For every pound of lean body mass you gain, you need to lose a pound of fat to offset that in your goal of losing fifty pounds.

    I don't know your height and starting weight, so I can't really say whether fifty pounds makes sense or not, but I have to assume it's a healthy goal for your body. No one likes it, but losing weight in a slow and responsible way is what leads to permanent weight loss. The general advise is losing at a rate of half a pound per week for every twenty five pounds you have to lose is a reasonable rate. As our bodies get closer to a healthy goal, they become more efficient, and what worked to lose a pound per week at fifty pounds overweight will not work at ten pounds overweight.

    Yes we can!! I lost 73lbs before becoming pregnant with my now 8 month old baby boy. I gained every bit of the weight back. But im back on my journey and even if i don't lose 50lbs in 90 days I'm gonna work my *kitten* off to try and lose as much as possible.
