    I'm 5'4" and I started at 226 on January 1. I'm at 193 now. I'm totally planning to *rock* my clothes next summer. Just start today, be reasonable about it -- you've gotten lots of suggestions -- and next May you will be so glad that you did.
    Change your goals to August of 2014 and I'm happy to help any way I can.

    This is one of the people that I listen to. What I'm doing -- because he, along with other successful people here suggested it to me -- is eating at a reasonable deficit, lifting weights, and doing some cardio/extra moving when I can. I *love* lifting weights. I'm not killing myself with hours and hours of cardio. My muscles are starting to show! AND I can eat and exercise like this for the rest of my life, I don't have to crash diet and yo-yo back and forth.

    We can do this together -- add me as a friend if you like!

    This goal is very unrealistic and almost impossible to achieve without starving yourself lol >.< Try aiming for a 15 pound loss by August maybe. ^^ Pushing it might be an understatement. xD

    ^This

    It's taken me a year to lose just over 40 pounds.

    A couple things I've noticed

    1. That year was over in the blink of an eye.

    2. I was never miserable because of hunger.

    3. I've formed habits. Even when I'm insanely busy, I exercise, watch my macros, pack a lunch, etc. It's all second nature now.

    4. I haven't given up, and I think I can do what I'm doing now, for the rest of my life.


    Do you want to bust your *kitten* to only get frustrated and quit, or take and keep the weight off forever?

    THIS is the problem with the shows on TV, like "Biggest Loser" - - if the people on TV can do it, why can't IIIIIIII?!

    Well, because you probably have an actual JOB you have to go to every day, you have bills to pay, you do not have money to hire someone (or more than one person) to follow you around making SURE you don't slack, you don't have the pressure of potentially millions of people seeing you fail on TV, you don't have a personal chef......blah blah blah

    so - NO - you are not going to lose 50 lbs that quickly - - in the real world.
