I'm trying for 30 pounds by October. It feels so close, yet so far! Feel free to add me if you'd like to!12

I'm letting go of 20 by Sept. 1st. But I also want to maintain after that and need the accountability. So feel free to add me4

At the pharmacy last week I was standing behind a lady in the queue and she pulled her iPhone out, her wallpaper was a big block of text "YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF IN 3 MONTHS". Yes, I thought to myself (internal dialogue) so will I.38

Add me if you want. I have about that much to lose too and the end of the year sounds like a good time frame to me also.4

I want to lose 40 pounds by Christmas!4

Sounds like you will be at goal weight after you lose 50 pounds? There's only 28 weeks til Christmas - sustaining a two pound per week loss with only 50 pounds to lose is not realistic.
Scooby says the # 1 reason people fail to lose weight is flaming out due to having overly aggressive goals:

I would take 50 lbs by Christmas but not realistic so sticking with a high goal of 40.6

Shoot for 50, and if you fall a little short and only lose 40, then who cares, you'll be 40 lbs lighter. You can do this!!7 -
I have been at it for 2 months and so far lost 25 lbs my goal is 50 and I am so happy to be half way but the last bit is always the hardest. Please anyone add me who wants to jump on board!

We're at about the same place, it sounds. My goal is 50 by Thanksgiving (I'm getting married the week before), but I'm already down 20 over the last 8 weeks so I really only need 30 between now and then.
It takes discipline, but it's worth it. You can do it!3 -
I'm in. Will you form a group? I will join it.

I'm going for 25 by Christmas because if I try for 50 I won't last till Christmas. Way too restrictive for my preferences.7

I started a group - hope it's OK with OP, she hasn't posted here for a few days. Here is the link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114643-up-to-50lbs-by-christmas3

@kshama2001 Thanks for your input, nobody has to lose 50lbs by Christmas and anyone who joins this group can choose a starting date earlier than today. You are making assumptions.1
-
It's true that if you're starting today and losing 50 lbs hits your goal weight, then it would be pretty tough. But hey, let's go for it! My goal is 80 so 50 by December is doable.3

@kendahlj - My starting date was April 24th. You pick your own starting date, whatever suits you...go to the link above and join the group!1
