    Sorry to break it to you, but 19 pounds in a little over a month is more than ambitious...it's going to be impossible for someone at your weight. Aim for losing about a pound a week. Anything more than that and you'll probably be doing more harm than good.

    With that said, welcome to MFP and good luck to you! There are lots of great people on this site and we're all very supportive of each other. Take a look through the forums for advice and tips. And congrats on dropping the first pound!

    Welcome. I hope you reach your goal. Although i sounds like a rather large challenge. I wish you the best of look.

    I know my goal is a little challenging but hopefully i'll atleast lose a stone (14lbs) by the end of next month. I'm trying to lose 3lbs every week. :happy:

    I'm going to be frank: your goal isn't challenging, it's stupid. You're going to be doing far too much harm to your body in order to get there. If you take it slow and steady, you'll get there eventually. If you don't eat right (getting enough calories and the right nutrition) and exercise, it's just going to come off and then come right back on.

    Just wanted to give you a reality check from someone that's done drastic weight loss and struggled with eating disorders in the past.

    Everyone is entitled to there own opinions. I know that I won't be able to lose it anyway just trying to motivate myself.
