My goal is to lose 70lbs til the next September, is that unrealistic? Has anyone done it or is wanting to achieve the same? Would love to hear some success stories and find some friends with the same goals :)

    My goal is 70 pounds as well. So far I've lost 25 pounds. I don't think it is too unrealistic as long as you are willing to put in the effort. I'll send you a friend request.

    Heya! It's definitely possible to lose 70 pounds in 9 months, but you'll probably get some feedback that the goal might be a little high. Averaging it out, you'd be losing close to 2 lbs a week, which is a decent rate at the beginning, but will be harder and harder the closer you get to your goal. I think most suggest around a 1 lb per week goal, with maybe a little more at the beginning when you have more to lose. If you push too hard for too much, you might end up eating too little or not being as healthy as you want to be (or just getting frustrated if it doesn't happen).

    Either way, your goals are your own and different for everyone, and I wish you luck in getting there! I want to lose a total of around 100, and I'm about halfway there, so I'd be happy to have an extra friend if you'd like. :)

    I am looking at losing about 70 pounds, but I would be a lot happier if I could just get 50 pounds lighter. This is my first week on MyFitnessPal. So far, I love it! I am down 4.4 pounds since the holiday months!

    I know I definitely want to lose at least that much, most likely a little more though.

    This is not unrealistic at all! 6 months into my journey, I lost 70 pounds. It does tend to slow down though, some times you hit plateau's, or life just happens. If you stick with it and stay strong you can absolutely do this!!

    It's very possible. You can do it. I lost 100 pounds in 9 months and I am at 109 lost so far, almost at goal.

    I've lost almost 50 and my ultimate goal is 70. It will be 2 years on this journey in May, but I wasn't dedicated to it the whole time.
