Alrighty people. My current weight is 280 and my goal is 250 for now. The main thing I need help on is portion control and I've always struggled with it. What is a reasonable amount of time that I should reach my goal?Feel free to add me. I have just started "actually" using this site so I need some motivators!

You can do it in 3 months. If you want it bad enough. Good luck!

Welcome aboard the new life train!

Most of what I've read says that one pound per week is really the safe & practical zone, and absolutely not to exceed two pounds per week.

So, for 30 pounds, 6-7 months is the right target. Sometimes I get impatient, but that's really a sustainable goal. Plus, it means that you're changing habits in a way that can be life-long.

Good luck on the new journey!

I dropped thirty pounds in four months - 17 weeks - which is 1.5 to 2 lbs a week. I did it by cutting my calories by 500 a day (1 lb a week) and exercising.

Good luck!
