Need to lose 20 lbs by June.

Add me as well. I'm losing 30 by June for vacation :-)

how are you expecting to lose 20 pounds by June please tell

We can do this at losing 1.5 lbs a week. This is definitely an obtainable goal!

I want to loose 30 pounds by June because I need to have a nice beach body and also don't want any of my self consciousness to hold me back as I head off to college next year.

I'm looking to achieve the same.. I'm 23 and wanting to loose about 15 lbs and tone up.. I'll add you x

That would be 5lb a week? Do you think thats realistic or healthy?

Um, no, losing 1.5 lb per week when you have so little to lose is not a realistic/healthy goal.
Over the last year, starting with 110 lb to lose, I've averaged 1.5 lb / week. A few weeks I lost 5 lb, and there have been more than a few weeks where I stalled.

With only 20-30 to lose, even 1 lb per week would be a big deal. 0.5 lb would be more reasonable. I have 33 left to get to my goal, and if I get there by the end of the year it's OK. Earlier would be fine, and very well might happen, but I know that my amazing success so far will not continue at the same level, at least not if I want to be healthy.

I did a newbie help post which includes links to helpful info such as sexypants,
goal setting (weight, calories, macros),
accurate logging & weighing,
motivation & encouragement...

Please, add me. I am trying to lose weight by summer time! Thanks!

You could add me

Please add me to your list. My goal is to lose 20lbs by June for my 20th college reunion. I need motivation and support esp. because I'll be away on vacation in Feb and April. Vacation means I'll be facing major temptations while eating out.

It can be done. I started thanksgiving week. To date I've lost 22 lbs. it is math, plain and simple. You have to put yourself on a specific calorie intake and stick to it. Create a calorie deficit and you will lose weight. Everyone can do it. Burn off calories and only take in a controlled amount. I'm on 1200 calories a day. Exercise 5 days a week. No cheating allowed. Sounds strict but that is how it is done.

I hope you mean 1200 net kcal per day, rather than total.

Please add me.....I'm looking to drop 30lbs by July for vacation.

I think this is realistic. I'm graduating college this summer and I would like to be able to buy some good interview clothing.

20lb will get me to my goal weight...which I've been trying (and failing) to get to for several years now. This is the year it needs to happen. I'm sick of my new years resolution always being to lose weight. 1lb of fat a week it totally do-able and knowing I'm in the same boat as you guys will help keep me motivated. Thanks!

June is 17 weeks away from today
If you start now, you may lose up to 5 lbs in the first week.
That gives you 16 more weeks to lose 1 pound per week.
To lose 1 pound per week (3500 calories), eat 500 calories less per day than your body uses.
For me, 55 yr old guy, I burn about 2400 per day when I don't exercise.
So I could eat 1900 per day (as long as its not all sugar and carbs) and easily hit that goal.

Currently I'm eating about 1300 - 1400 and not yet exercising. I changed my automated MFP goals so I eat less carbs and less sodium.
