I am getting married in August. I would like to get down by 50lbs by then. I realistically need to lose 80ish. But I know that can't happen so soon.

Is 50 too much to hope for?

I am 5'3
212.6 lbs
Semi active but not an exercise girl.

MFP suggests 1200 calories a day.

    Healthy and realistic is 1-2 pounds a week. So August is about 19 weeks out? 19-38 would be doable in that time frame. Add more exercise and you'll end up more towards the higher end.

    But I would do like 1400-1450 calories a day. 1200 is pretty restrictive, hard to keep up with out some H'angry days, and more likely something you can make a long term life style change.

    Good luck!
