    I'm at 160, and am hoping to be 130 by my wedding in August. Working hard! I hardly ever lose weight, though. EVER.

    5'10" and 171...that would put you under weight which isn't healthy either :frown: you don't want to be unhealthy in either direction

    One of the things that kills motivation is unrealistic goals. There are 17 weeks till June and 21 weeks till July. Lots of people have replied they want to lose 50 lbs by then. If you have a lot to lose those might be reasonable goals. If 50 lbs lost puts you at a healthy/normal weight then it's going to be tough. The closer you get to your healthy weight the harder it will be to lose.

    Don't take this as me being negative or unsupportive. Quite the opposite I'm encouraging you to be realistic so that you can meet your goal. You didn't put this much weight on in 4-5 months, it's going to be tough to get it off in that time.

    I agree, it's a tall order. I figured some people meant by the end of summer though, which is a bit more realistic for most

    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'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!
