I want to get down to 350 by my 30th birthday. I need to lose about 17 pounds in 2 months and I think that's quite doable for my current pace. I also want to walk at least five 5K's by my birthday.
Work on resistance to humidity. I used to play field hockey in this weather, but now a 40 min walk makes me feel dizzy and faint. I carry electrolytes and drink tons of water but still seems to happen. Any tips all? I drink powder electrolytes and Powerade/Gatorade zero

You might want to make sure you are drinking the RIGHT electrolytes - you could talk to a professional for that but you could also take a look at your nutrition analysis (from your log) and see if you are low on potassium, sodium, etc. Also clothing makes a big difference so you probably want to look at that. Good luck with your goal!
As for myself, I made it to 50 pounds lost and my next goal is to hit 190, which will be 55 pounds lost. I'd really like to get there by June 24 but I'm not holding my breath.
Drop into the single digits for my pants size. Haven't been since my mid teens. I'm in 10s now for the most part. 17lb to my first goal. I'd like to be at goal or within striking distance for my b-day in Aug.

I second this. I have black outs and fainting spells in the summer if I don't watch my sodium and potassium, especially my sodium. I have a hard time eating even close to recommended levels.
I am doing a 30 day mini goal with my daughter. We have to log our food and get 30 minutes of exercise each day for 30 days. We are in our second week. Being accountable to each other keeps us motivated. Having her as my Fitness Pal is pretty cool! She has great discipline. She doesn't let life get in the way and derail her. I am following her lead and learning from her. That's my girl!!!
I think I can get there in a couple of days, and definitely by Wednesday, which is my 'main' weigh-in day. I weigh daily to track fluctuations, but the Wednesday result is always the one 'that counts'.
After that, my next goal is to get to 1.5 stone down (so another 7lb), which should be anytime between early July and late August.
I HAVE BEEN ON KETO AND THE GYM FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS AND ONLY LOST THE FIRST WEEK 4 POUNDS. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET THE SCALE THIS MORNING NOTHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there! If you're new to the gym or to lifting weights, you're going to see water retention as your body tries to hold onto it to repair damaged muscles. It's completely normal. Just stay consistent and you'll see it come off. Sometimes it'll be a few pounds at once, sometimes it'll pick back up again gradual. Take measurements, too! Those change even when the scale doesn't.
