    Yes, I am trying to lose 70 pounds or more. This is hard, but maybe we can all keep the others motivated.

    It is definitely possible. I have lost 80 lbs. in 6 months. I know that sounds extreme to most but the diet that I am on worked for me. I have 30 more to go :smile:

    Continue to be dedicated - with whatever diet you choose.

    I would like to lose 50 lbs by June and 90 by December. Maybe we can help motivate each other.

    I have a little more than that left to lose, you may send me a friend request if you would like! I lost my first 60lbs in 6 months, so yes it is doable. Just consistantly track your food, eat well and exercise. The last 2 months slowed down for me, but I am 100% completely back on track now. Best of luck!!

    Wow, reading this post and seeing everyone's success has been surprisingly motivational. I was just checking out the community section for the first time after throwing my calories into the counter, but think I will be back for more motivation regularly. Hopefully I'll be motivating as well as being motivated in 6 months time (aiming to lose over 80 lbs).

    I have lost 57 in that amount of time. there is no doubt in my mind that if I had stayed true to my new ways, and put forth just a little more effort, I could have lost more. So no, not unrealistic at all. Good luck!!

    I've lost 71 pounds in 7 months. I still have at least 20 more to go...so I am sure it will slow down a bit. I have my goals set to lose two pounds a week...and for the most part, this has been the case. I tend to eat around 1200 calories a day, limit my sodium to 1500 mg a day, limit my fat intake to approximately 30 grams a day (I know many will disagree and tell you to limit carbs), and try to eat at least 2000 mg of potassium (potassium is usually present in whole, nonprocessed foods). I exercise as much as possible...most days I burn an average of 500 calories. I don't eat my exercise calories. Many would disagree with my method...but this is how I roll...and it works for me.

    My goal IS to lose 74lbs and have lost about 32 so far...Mine has been a VERY slow journey by choice. I have been getting to my goal by eating whatever I want and there has also been 2-3 months since last April when I didn't work out or count. You can totally do this, it does take a lot of dedication, but you have to KNOW that NO MATTER WHAT your goal is important to you to reach. Cannot wait to support one another to greatness! :-)
