    Hi! 50 pounds in 7 weeks is really fast, but you can certainly lose 14-20 pounds in that time (2 pounds per week is usually the upper limit of what people can lose, and you might see some larger losses from water weight in the first few weeks).

    Is it for some kind of event? Nobody will likely know how much you've lost unless you walk around with a scale, but even a smaller loss will show.

    I believe you can do it. Stick to what you are doing to lose it and a little exercise you will reach your goal :)

    Why are you being so rude. It is none of your business. And I believe she can lose it if she believes in herself.

    Because it's a very fast unhealthy weight loss that has risks? 7lbs a week is even more than someone who is morbidly obese should lose! You're encouraging that? So supportive.....

    That was not a rude response from @AliceDark . She's absolutely correct; 50lbs is a lot to lose in 7 weeks and there's no point being disappointed she "only" lost 20; that's still very good.

    I thought it was extremely kind. If I was trying to lose that much weight at that rate, I hope somebody would care more about my well-being than my feelings.

    Okay your right about her losing it. But she needs to believe in herself and that is all I'm saying. Please forgive for calling you rude
