    50lbs by summer would be great! but I tend to focus on smaller goals at a time. Like right now I'm going for 20lbs by the end of summer. If I lose more great! What are your thoughts on this way of thinking?

    I think your thoughts might be more realistic.

    I'll join you. I'd love to be in the 150's by the summer.

    I like making lofty goals - even if I don't quite get there, it tends to motivate me more.

    I know there's no way in hell I could (or would) want to lose 50 more pounds. HOWEVER, I would like to hit my ultimate goal weight by summertime. I've been losing weight since May of 2014 and I am 42 pounds down. It'd be nice to hit my 50 by May or June of this summer!

    Slow and steady wins the race. For some people, they can drop extraordinary amounts of weight in no time. But personally, it's not for me. I lost my first 20 lbs in 3 months from doing C25k. Good luck, guys!

    I was thinking the same thing, brother. It'd be more realistic for a lot of us to lose weight, slowly but safely, and have a better chance of maintaining said loss. It's taken me about a year to lose 40 pounds! But, there could be someone out there who proves me wrong. If it happens, congrats to the lucky duck who losses all that weight in a short time!

    I wish! But it's an over-enthusiastic goal. Can it be done? Probably. Can it be done healthfully? Unlikely.
    Sure, we'd all like to be rocking our bikinis by July, but health is more important than looking good on the beach.

    Please set yourself a realistic target otherwise you will get disappointed.
    1-2lb a week is a healthy rate of loss.

    Its all very well setting yourself a target, but it helps if you fully appreciate what you have to do to achieve it.

    50lbs is at least 175,000 calories not eaten or burned less than your maintenance.

    If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal
    Is a good rule of thumb.

    It took me a year to lose 50 pounds and I've been able to keep it off for three years, which I attribute to the slow and steady rate at which I lost as I created new healthy habits that could stick. Good luck...
