    I weigh 279.8 lbs at 5'6'' and I would really like to lose 61.6 lbs by September 30 or October 15th the latest as we are going on vacation to London then. We will be walking a lot and I really would like to be able to enjoy the walking through town without being out of breath. Oh and I also would really like to look less whale-like on photos then (hubby is 163 lbs at 5'11'').

    I'm 29 - started at 220, but am 216 now, I am getting married in july and the plan is to be down 50 pounds by then... I guess there is still enough time, I would just like to see it gone sooner rather than later.

    I would honestly be happy with 40-50 this year. So far the weight is coming off easy, but I know it will slow down soon.

    I thought I give this a push and created a group for everyone who would like to join.

    Goal: Lose a lot of weight in 6 months. (=Half year Shred)

    Support and Motivation is important to me, so please feel free to join and introduce yourself.
    So far I have two threads, one to introduce yourself and another for the starting weight at jan 31st.

    I'm currently 241 as of this morning and would love to get a good chunk of weight off by summer. My sister is trying to talk me into a beach holiday in July, so if that's not motivation, I dunno what is! I'm a raging sweet-tooth, so that's my big hurdle right now.

    Looking for friends!

    Yes, you just have to work hard. 10lbs a month is doable.

    I'm 37, 5'2 and 213. Need to get rid of a much weight as possible by mid July (mom's wedding). Please add me, I need friends on here as none of my skinny friends know I'm dieting, they all tell me I look fine as is. Being fat is slowly killing me :(

    If you start from today's date (Feb 6th), you have 20 more weeks until the end of June. I'd say it's possible but you'd have to lose approximately 2.5 lbs per week. Not as easy as it sounds. My original goal was to lose 50 lbs by then...I'm down 12 with 38 more to go (I began my diet on January 1st). It's a challenge but I honestly think it can be done if you're strict with yourself and mindful of your daily goals for calories and exercise. Good luck to everyone but especially those with like-minded goals - summer's on it's way!
