    I'm bumping myself.

    "I need you, like the flower needs the rain, you know I need you."

    I am not always as serious as my pic looks.

    This smells like desperation.

    Desperation is right. I want to lose 10 lbs./month all the way through the end of the year. I'll take any help I can get! :)

    right there is a thread killer.

    10lbs a month for three months? when you only have another 45 to lose?

    That's a crazy unrealistic goal.
    How are you planning on achieving that goal?

    What kind of "friends" are you expecting to get that will support that?

    Or, rather, than be "out," you could suggest a healthier pace.

    I'd focus on 1-2 lbs of weight lost a week, and set a more realistic goal like 4-8 lbs (8 being on the higher side of course) of weight loss a month :)

    Try 1 pound a week, until you get to the last 20 pounds, then half a pound a week. The other way leads only to madness, or eating disorders, or both.

    OP needs to seriously consider having more friends who offer good advice like this ^^

    31 days in a month = 4.43 weeks

    10 lbs. divided by 4.43 weeks = 2.25 lbs. a week

    I would not say having a goal of losing 2.25 lbs. a week is enough to warrant total *kitten* responses from overeager keyboard thumpers.

    Weight loss at a rate of 1 to 2 lbs. a week is considered safe by most reputable sources.

    What am I doing to lose it you ask? I'm eating less and moving more.

    If that's too much for some of you to handle without getting your thongs twisted into pretzels, please move on. You're probably the ones with the preamble all in caps, warning people that you have too many friends and not to friend you anyhow.

    I wish you good luck. Everyone here would love it if it was feasible to lose 2.25 pounds a week until the end of the year. Some of us have just been here long enough to know that keeping that pace is unrealistic. I hope I see your success thread in 4 months and you met your goal. Me? I've been here for 16 months and lost a little bit of weight. Not too fast - but hey - I've still lost the weight.

    Have a good day! :smile:
