    I'm jumping on this band wagon, 40-50 by Christmas sounds awesome! I've switched to clean eating and only eating when I'm hungry. And it's working! Imagine that!

    My goal is to be under 200 by New Year's, so technically I have 36 pounds to lose by Christmas. BUT I'm certainly not going to stop if I hit it early. I'd love to lose 50 more by then.

    This "naysayer" is an experienced Project Manager very familiar with people setting overly aggressive goals. I get paid to set realistic goals and to help others to do so as well. I have no investment in your goals, but seeing people setting themself up for failure makes me sad. If a goal isn't realistic, it's not a SMART goal.

    Sure, if someone has 200 pounds to lose, losing 50 of them by Christmas is doable. But the OP (and others in this thread) will be at goal when they've lost 50 pounds, and it is simply not realistic (or healthy) to maintain a 1000 calorie a day deficit when you are that close to goal.
