    very good goal. you can do a lot more than lose 50 lbs. you can increase your overall health, keep blood pressure / heart rate in a good place. you can increase your fitness, maybe even fall in love with exercise.

    there is so much you can do in a few months time. there is so much more you can do in a year. :) good luck, stay persistent, you can do this!

    I've lost 46 lbs since Valentine's day with just eating better (and less) and running 3 times a week. Just put your head down, work at it and don't weigh yourself every day and before you know it you'll be amazed at how much you've lost.

    As all the others indicate, it is a realistic goal. I am down 20 lbs since May 13, 2012 when I started my journey. I do not expect to continue at this rate but I am being rewarded for ahrd work to date. Good luck to you and I suggest you set small goals that will keep you on track.

    my friend was just very determined and i miss read it i thought she meant next month not of next year sheeesh
    yes it is realistic my friend lost 60 lbs in 3 months lol u can do it ... ima b right behind u trying to lose 50 lbs. now idk about loosing 50 lbs in a month but i think about 30 lbs in a month is more realistic
    30 lbs per month is ABSURD.
    Think 1 pound per week.
    That's the key to steady, healthy and lasting weight loss. People in too much a rush gain it all back like Oprah Winfrey.
    She'll die fat.
    Think long-term, and All Is Possible :flowerforyou:

    You will be surprised at losing the weight. You gave yourself plenty of time and a motivator, bot staying motivated is the key. Set your goals for 2 months ahead ot the wedding date and that will give you some extra time for another goal if so needed.

    Sorry, I also forgot to mention I am still nursing 1-2 times a day. The calculator says 1600 cals to lose 1 pound per week, but I added 200 more to keep up with the nursing.
