I'm trying to lose about 30 lbs in the next 3 months.
I'll be eating healthy than I have been and hopefully hiking at least 2 to 3 times a week if not then I'll be doing cardio in another form. Before anyone says why rush the losing and put a number on it- I lose best in the summer so I'm going to try to do it then and my numbers are just estimates, I'll be happy when my body feels healthiest.

Who's in to lose a goal in these next 3 months! Add me and we can support each other and give advice.

    Unless you have a substantial amount to lose, over all, an approx loss of 2.5lb per week for 12 weeks will be tough.
    best of luck!!

    I'm trying to drop 2lbs a week. The weight I am at is the heviest I ever been in my life. I had 6kids and my last 1 was the heaviest I had and that was a year ago and I kept on the weight and added 5lbs to it

    I would like to lose 15 lbs in 3 months as well. I'm in for that part! Much more attainable and still fairly aggressive. It will take work and commitment, but it's more realistic and way more healthy.

    My goal is 10-15 pounds in three months. I average -6lbs per month but I wouldn't be sad if it slowed to 3 or 4. I am sooooo not in a rush to lose the fat. Slow and easy has been working really well for me so far.

    My initial summer goal was 3 pounds ago (break the obese/overweight barrier) so anything more is great!

    I'm down. New to this (joined yesterday) but I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year and would love to focus on a goal for the next few months. I am not sure what I need to do "add" this thread/group(?)

    If you only have 26lbs to lose, setting up a 2lbs per week loss on mfp won't actually get you a 2lb per week loss since mfp refuses to take anyone below 1200 (unless your maintenance calories are 2200).

    I'm able to complete my diary at 1K calories and I'm not eating back my exercise calories. So yeah, I'm so down for losing these 26 lbs in 3m.

    I'd actually love that haha.

    Unrelated but I see a lot of people saying it's only really possible for those of an obese category, which is what I would probably place myself in. I haven't got weighing scales but I'm probably over the 200lbs weight, what would you consider a healthy weight for me to lose per week? I've put down 1.5 but if I can aim higher or even fluctuate between goals each week then id be happy too

    30lbs in 3 months sounds great.

    That seems a bit ambitious. I did it, but that's only because I was just starting out (so a lot of it was water weight), and I was quite obese.
