Reaching goal on time.

So I weigh 167lbs now. To fit into my skinny clothes I need to be around 130. So I need to lose close to 37lbs in 11 weeks which I think is just over 3lb a week.

Is this too ambitious or do you think it's possible?

I think that is a tough goal and kind of unrealistic. You most likely will not be able to drop 3 lbs every single week. You will most likely have to eat very little and/or spend a great deal of time exercising for 11 weeks and after your vacation will gain weight back because it is not sustainable. You may not lose inches/clothing sizes as fast as you think. You may not feel very good.

Please see this thread about how weight loss is not linear-> community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10084670/it-is-unlikely-that-you-will-lose-weight-consistently-i-e-weight-loss-is-not-linear/p1

If I were you, I would accept that losing .5-2 lbs a week is a better goal range to shoot for. 10- 20 lbs would be more realistic and comfortable goals for 11 weeks.

Buy stretchy clothes or dresses that you can wear with a belt as you are losing weight. Get some clothes altered to fit you as you get smaller. Shop at thrift stores, sales or e-bay. Exchange clothes with other people who have lost weight. I believe there are sites where you can rent clothes.

So about that 42 pounds that you lost rapidly before. . . did you keep those pounds off? If not, perhaps trying to do the same thing again is not so wise.
