Is it possible to lose 30 lbs in 3 months? I want to know if its a reachable goal or if its too far fetched..
I hate setting myself up for failure...what's a good goal?

If you were asking for 30 pounds in 30 days I might give you a crooked eyebrow lift, but 30 pounds in 3 months is very doable. With hard work and dedication, you could reach that and then some!0

It is reachable. I was able to do this by eating less than my Basal Metabolic Rate burned each day and exercising at least 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. I was under supervision from my doctor though. Think of it this way: It is recommended to lose 2 pounds a week, and there are 4-5 weeks each month. So, if month 1 had 4 wks, you could focus on losing 8 lbs, if month 2 had 5, try for 10, and if month 3 had 4, try for 8 again. You may lose more weight at the beginning becuase your body is getting rid oif excess water and bloat, but it is possible because I did it (actually, I lost a little more than that in 3 months). I hope that makes sense, I'm kind of rambling.
Talk to your doctor and be safe. Remember, if you put in the hard work and stay dedicated to the process, you WILL get it off. You are worth the time it takes, more or less!!!!
If you have any ?s, message me and we can talk about it!0 -
anything is possible if you have the desire and committment to see it through.
Did I think 9 1/2 months ago that I would have 197 pounds off?? nope...but I do. my committment to me and my health did it.0 -
it may be possible.....
but if it doesn't come about don't use that eventuality as a reason to give up!
you need to learn patience....its a process not an event, you need to give yourself time to study, to learn, to adjust and to become fully engaged in your new healthy lifestyle.
good luck and happy eating!0 -

This.
And I found it seemed the more I had to lose, the easier it came off at first.0 -
it's definitely possible, but you have to be dedicated to it, and you can't give up! exercise 5-6 days a week, for about an hour and a half as HARD as you can, and especially keep an eye on the food you eat, processed =/= good!
good luck, don't ever get discouraged!0 -
When I was 16 years old I went from 166lbs to 135lbs in 8 weeks. I followed my mom's Weight Watchers books. I didn't exercise besides slacking off during P.E and walking from class to class during the day.
So yes it's possible! Maybe it was because I was so young, Idk. It seemed like the weight just melted off.0 -
It's do-able.....I lost my 31 lbs in 8 weeks.0
