Hi everyone,
Im currently 294lbs and i want to get down to 224lbs in 6 months so 3lbs a weeks is that to much or a good target to aim for?
Thanks

    It's doable, but I'm not a fan of setting these kinds of goals. Focus on doing the right things every day, the rest will take care of itself.

    Doable, but likely not ideal.

    And unless you have a wedding or a photo-shoot scheduled for six months from now, there's little good reason to put an arbitrary deadline on your efforts. The goal is to be at a healthy weight for the rest of your life, regardless of how long it takes you to get there at a sustainable rate.

    In other words, I'd much rather you take an extra six months or a year to get closer to your goal but be there for the rest of your life than to meet an arbitrary deadline temporarily.

    Good luck.

    I completely agree with this.
