50lbs in 7 months- realistic? -healthy?

It's really going to depend on how much you have to lose whether it's a healthy idea or not. It's likely doable, but if you're not very heavy to start, it may not be healthy. If 50lbs puts you into a healthy weight range, you're probably around the 1lb per week loss category, so 7 months and 50lbs might be a stretch.

I've lost 65 in 8 months, but I had 75 to lose and lost fairly quickly the first couple months cuz I shocked my body by dropping carbs --my blood sugar was consistently high, so it wasn't a fad choice there, but a necessity. The last few months I've slowed considerably and am looking for about 1/2lb per week, if that.

My advice is figure out what you need to do for 1-1.5 lbs per week and get started. You'll lose whatever you lose in the net 6 months and whatever it is will be what it will be. Setting too stringent goals can derail you. fwiw, I know pictures can be deceiving, but if your pic is recent, you don't look like you have an extra 50lb on you.

If it's just 50? It might be tricky, and you'll lose fat as well as LBM. I had 100 to lose, and it took nine months for me to hit 50.

Just set your calories for a moderate deficit and what happens, happens. Extremes will likely cause you to stop the plan between now and then, and last minute craziness will lead to problems on the day (feeling tired, undue stress, etc.). Don't look at it as a hard and fast goal; just try to be the best person you can be on the day. You will have a fantastic day no matter what. And make sure you plan for dress alterations if you've already purchased it and it ends up being the wrong size (whether too big or too small).

It's been said but it depends on how much you have to lose. I lost 50lbs in 6 months but I started with 200lbs to lose. I did it through healthy eating, portion control, and plenty of gym time (8-12 hours a week). I have a mix of cardio and strength training.

If you only have 50lbs to lose I wouldn't recommend trying to do it in 7 months. You'll probably end up looking sick if you do. It's better to do it slower.

Congratulations on your engagement!!

As multiple people have said - it depends on your starting weight. The good news is this: If your starting weight is very heavy, you could lose 40-50 pounds. If your starting weight is moderate, then even a 25 pound loss will be significantly noticeable so you shouldn't put pressure on yourself to lose in a way that is unhealthy for you.

Eating at too large of a calorie deficit will not only leave you fatigued, and can cause your hair to thin out, but it will leave you cranky and muddle headed. This is now how you want to be while planning your wedding. I am convinced this is how some Bridezillas are born.

Your wedding is 1 day, your marriage is for the rest of your life. Live like you are planning the rest of your life!

very realistic if you are consistent in your logging and exercise. Good Luck

I guessed you're around 170- 173cms as that's healthy range for your goals.

That being said if you work out 3 times a week. You could easily lose 40-50lbs in 30weeks or 7 months. Please remember this is rough but you could achieve it to lose 50lbs

Consensus is that detoxes are a load of rubbish and theres no proof that they work. 10lbs in ten days sounds like just the fad diet you say you dont want. You might want to rethink that and focus on your logging, mindset and devising your exercise plan.

Ooops and what they all said. You can do it and will get pretty close as long as you are consistent and the plan is good.

You still haven't posted your starting weight. As everyone said, that is really the determining factor on how "realistic" 50lbs in 7 weeks is.

A detox is a fad. If you want long lasting nice skin just start eating un-processed junk. If you want to stop having sugar cravings, stop eating processed foods with large amounts of sugar in them. A detox is a quick fix. 95% of the people I know who have done them go right back to their old habits. There is no need to shock your body for quick results. Same thing for the weight loss. Just start building healthy habits: logging your food, moving around more, getting enough sleep, eating healthier, etc. From the people I know and my own experience, that is the best way for long term weight loss success.

I lost 55 pounds in 7 months- totally achievable

Try keto.

(No, seriously.)

Not easy, but possible. You will have to be super dedicated though. As you approach your goal things slow down a lot, as everyone says.
