Can Someone Help Me.

That's losing over 5 pounds a week for nine+ straight weeks. You are unlikely to find a way to do that healthily. The extremely low calorie diet that goes along with bariatric surgery might do it but you would need to work with a doctor to make sure you maintained the proper nutrient & vitamin levels not to make yourself sick.

Aim for a beach body next summer, through a sustainable eating and exercise approach. 50 pounds by the end of August is nuts.

I think you're probably going to have to accept that this is an unreasonable and probably unattainable goal. 10-20 pounds is much more attainable and healthy. There is no magic bullet, or pill or diet or exercise. You need to start by eating moderate amounts of healthy food (meaning nutritionally dense and generally calorie "not dense" - can't think of the right word) and you can tone and preserve the muscle you have with moderate exercise (working out til you can't move and are sore for the next week is NOT helpful).. You need to find a way to eat "healthy" for the rest of your life, rather than depriving yourself for the next two months.

Even if you ate nothing you might not lose 50 lbs and they would come back quicker than they when off..just eat about 1400 cal and see what happens.

Set a more realistic goal. Eat healthy and exercise...that's the plan. You may not lose as fast as you would like, but you're more likely to reach your goal and keep the weight off by doing it the sensible way.

first thing you should do is come to grips that it doesnt matter how long it takes to lose the weight. You definitely didn't put on the weight that quick, so it's not going to come off that quick either.

eat foods that will keep you full, eat at a moderate deficit, don't stuff yourself. don't starve yourself, drink plenty of water, start walking everyday, and the pounds will start to melt off.

one of the the hardest parts about losing fat is being patient

I'm just reading "The 8 Hour Diet" which claims that you can eat what you want (with some limits and healthy choices) as long as you eat it within an 8 hour period during the day for at least 3 days a week. I'm just experimenting with this, so I have no direct experience of whether or not it works, but it might be worth a try. I'm basically following my calorie goal, eating pretty healthfully, and doing it between the hours of 11am and 7pm. I'm hoping that it accelerates my weight loss, but if it doesn't, oh well. Good luck with your weight loss and I hope you can heed the wisdom that others have offered here.

The first thing you need to do is to get in the right head space. What you want cannot happen in any healthy way. Instead of setting yourself up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations, set yourself up for success. Eat at a moderate deficit, eat back half of your exercise calories. Strength train to preserve muscle mass. Plan to rock your shorts next summer.

Use the time it takes you to lose the weight to learn the good habits which will allow you to keep it off.

Stop thinking about having this "done" by this August. Instead, think of having this "done" for the rest of your life even if it takes until *next* August.

Unless you have a photo shoot for which you're under contract or a wedding or some other rock solid obligation, there is no good purpose in imposing an arbitrary and harsh deadline. Start doing what needs to be done now to reach your goal reasonably, reach your goal when you reach it, and enjoy the long-term results of your efforts.

You *can* do this...but you *can't* (through sheer will and commitment) rush it. Best of luck.

Change your goals to August of 2014 and I'm happy to help any way I can.

From personal experience I am guessing you didn't gain those 50 lbs in 5 weeks, you have to be realistic in taking it off. I agree set smaller goals and your more likely to stick to it and be 120lbs for next August. I know how you feel, but if you go on a crazy crash diet you are going to crash, and end up more depressed and unhappy with yourself then when you started, best of luck and add me as a friend if you would like.

Change your goals to August of 2014 and I'm happy to help any way I can.

This - sorry, you are young... but being young won't make you work harder to lose 50 pounds. I've lost 12 in 3 months... granted I didn't have much more than 20 to lose. Prep for next summer. Also, where I live, people where shorts year round... not just for summer. Make this a LIFETIME goal, not a "just for summer goal".

You may lose 5 pounds your first 2 weeks, but that's about it. Unless you weigh well over 300 or 400 pounds, 5 pounds a week is NOT ATTAINABLE.

No matter what, start now. Progress is progress, and you can make some awesome progress by August and well beyond! Don't put an expiration date on it - make it for life!

Start by entering your info here at MFP with realistic, attainable goals. With 50lbs to lose, don't set your goal at MFP's maximum of 2lbs a week - that will set your daily calorie intake way too low. Too low = frustration and burn out because it's hard to stick to, and likely isn't enough fuel for you anyway. So go for 1/2 to 1 lb loss per week.

Remember that goal means GOAL! Don't under eat. The daily calories that MFP gives you already has a deficit built in - meaning eat to goal every day, do zero exercise, and you'll lose weight. If you exercise (highly recommend some form of resistance training - weights, body weight exercises, etc - heavy weights if you have access to them!), log it and eat those calories back. Net cals should be at or close to goal each day. Food is fuel - gotta fuel that furnace if you want it to burn!

Drink plenty of water and get good rest, both sleep and be sure to take at least one rest day from exercise per week. Be patient and recognize that these are changes you can make for life - temporary changes give you temporary results.

Log all your food, even if you have a day where you're way over. Look over your diary and see where you can make changes, where you can get more protein, what foods put you over calories for the day and was it worth it? Or if you have a lot of cals left over, find ways to get closer to goal with good foods that pack healthy cals in small portions - nuts, peanut butter, avocados, etc. Logging ALL my food has been a huge benefit for me, and helped me make changes that have helped me drop the fat and still enjoy life and foods I love. It's been a learning process for sure! But totally worth it.

Remind yourself how you feel now - wanting the quick changes and wishing you had started sooner. Don't let that happen again, start now and stick with it, and you won't have to be in this situation again. :bigsmile:

It's all been said. Sorry.

It is admirable that you want to lose 50 lbs, but it is a little unrealistic for such a short time. Losing weight takes 1) self-discipline, that is, sticking with the plan when the going gets tough, 2) a good nutritional diet, 3) exercise, nothing beats burning those calories and 4) drinking plenty of water. Weight loss should not exceed much more than 2 lbs/wk. Anything else needs to be under a doctor's supervision.
Don't give up; just give yourself a little more time and see a nutritional doctor, one who specializes in weight-loss sensibly. There is no magic bullet, no magic pill to get the weight off. It is nothing but hard, hard, dedicated work.
Good luck.
