Need advice!

You will not lose 43 pounds by July 1st, your goal is a bit too lofty.

If you remain completely dedicated to getting your calories from clean and healthy food and continue to exercise daily you can expect to lose approx 2 pounds per week, or up to 10 pounds per month. This would mean that by July 1st you could potentially lose approx 30 pounds.

I'm not going to say anything is impossible, but because there are so many factors that go into losing weight, I'd say to aim for smaller goals to start out with. I've been trying to lose weight for over a year and only have lost 9 pounds because my body fat was so high to begin with. However, I've had friends lose 60 pounds in 3 months. It's so dependent on who you are! I would aim for 5 pounds a month and see once how it goes. You don't want to be discouraged and you want to give yourself credit for how far you come! Good luck to you!

Experts say 1 -2 pd a wk max for successful long term weight loss. It doesnt mean you cant and wont lose fast and keep it off but studies prove/show the 1-2 pd weight loss a week to be most successful:) Heres a great website for tools of exercise/diet I found helpful that a friend of mine gave me:) Good job with your weight loss so far! http://www.cathysassin.com/
