Hello,
I have 2 months to lose 30lb after having my baby ( 5 months old). I really do need friends to support and motivate each other. I have tried several times on my own and failed!!! Cheers

    Add me :smile:
    Why only 2 months to lose 30lbs? That's at least 3lbs a week to stay on target...

    You've got this! 30 pounds in 2 months is a lot but not impossible! I'm looking to lose about 30 myself, but my timetable is a little longer. I'm getting married come October so I'd like to be dress ready once I'm looking for them in about 4-5 months. Feel free to friend me and we can support each other!!

    30 pounds in 2 months is an unrealistic goal, as it's recommended you loose 2 pounds a week.

    Wow. 30lbs in 2 months is a very aggressive goal. What's the rush? If that's all you have to lose (loss is slower the less you have to lose) then I predict some truly miserable times ahead, with a very uncertain chance of success. What's wrong with steady, susutainable loss?

    Don't do yourself the disservice of a timetable. Set your goal, make some positive changes in service of that goal, and keep going until you get there, whenever that may be. It's too easy to feel like a failure if you miss your "deadline", and it's really not necessary. Good luck either way!

    Get rid of the timetable. It will set you up for failure. Go for 2 lbs a week and do not get discouraged if its only a pound. Some weeks you may lose 3.
    Eat right, exercise and burn more than you take in. Be grateful for any loss. You will get there when you get there. Good luck!

    I lost 40lbs in 60 days doing Insanity Max:30. I just started an accountability group to keep me on track while I do it again right here on MFP. You're welcome to join! Check my other posts for pics.

    I do too need to lose 30lbs after my third baby. She is 6 months and I'm still carrying baby fat around my body. I lost so easily with the first two kids but this time is taking longer. I got a jawbone for Christmas and started this week on my fitness pal.

    Lost about 30 in two months, It's not impossible just SO much determination to stay away from junk food! At least by doing it intensely for a couple months it's a much quicker process though, I need my motivation back.

    That's not safe nor is it a good way to keep off the weight. It's more effective for your body & metabolism to lose it more slowly. At that rate your skin would be saggy too. 2 pounds a week is really pushing it as far as rapid weight loss.

    What's happening in two months? That's an unrealistic, unsafe goal. If 30 is all you need to lose, it's better to stick with a pound a week and hope you hit 10 in that time.
