    I am working to lose 50-60 lbs as well, but I've set my goal for January of next year (I started January of this year). So far I've lost 20 lbs- which is between 1-1.5 lbs/week. July seems like a very unrealistic goal. I agree with most other posters, focus on 1-1.5 lbs/week and you may be able to lose at least 20 by July. The ultimate goal should be to become a healthier person and not just drop weight quickly. Slow and steady is always better.

    Unrealistic goal. Took me about 5-6 months to lose that much. And THAT was fast.

    Ha I know right! Probably weddings, holidays, suddenly having to contemplate wearing a swimsuit or bikini in public!
    I've got a wedding coming up this July, so I started getting serious last July. Even a year may not be long enough to lose over 50lbs!

    It could even be a high reunion

    I once set an impossible weight loss goal too. And I like to killed myself trying to achieve it. It was stressful, constantly checking the scale feeling let down n unaccomplished. So avoid the same mistake I made. Take it slow and healthy
