I have questions.

What does "HCA" mean?

Why 50 days?

I worry about these sorts of deadlines because, if you're going to keep the weight off, you're going to need to think long-term. Weight loss is a slow process.

I already answered your PCOS question, so won't repeat that here.

As for the treats and sweets, perhaps bring some lower cal and carb snacks that will help you say no. Other than that, work on building good eating habits that will help you stay on the right path once the initial rush of motivation fades.

And when you stray, which you will because we all do, don't use that as an excuse to give up. You've only failed if you've given up.
