Hello all, I'm new to this diet thing. I'm 48 years old, married with two kids 20 and 16. I was once a size 0/1 (too skinny) Now I'm a hearty 14/16 with pre diabetes, hight blood pressure, and menapause knocking on my door. BLAH!! I would love to lose 50 pounds by June of this year, so my Dr will quit shoving pills at me. Wish me luck!!

Feel free to add me looking to lose 40+ by July so perhaps we can stay motivated0

Add me too! I just turned 40 last year, lost 11 lbs first half of last year (I had a total of 40 I wanted to lose!) and gained it back the second half of last year. I was doing low carb at the beginning of last year but now i decided i'm going to go with good old healthy eating and exercise! I'm looking to lose 35-40 lbs. I have been logging my food everyday and trying to get more exercise since i barely got any before! Weekdays are easier than weekends. Weekends i end up ruining all of the work that i put in during the week! so maybe we can keep each other motivated!!!0

Does it NEED to be by June? 50 pounds in 5 months is possible, but it will be difficult. Will you be disappointed if you only lose 30 by June, which is a little more plausible?
I wouldn't necessarily set a date. Just that you want to lose 50. That way if it takes until September you won't be let down, and it will give your body time to adjust slowly to a new diet.0 -
Feel free to add me too :-) Good luck everyone0

^^^This.
50lbs in 5 months is possible, yes, but not particularly healthy. 2lbs a week is the maximum healthy rate weight loss unless very obese. 10lbs a month isn't too far above that but weight loss slows dramatically when you're closer to goal weight. I took a year to lose my first 50, then last year lost another 20. Now working on the last 4, and it's going to take me two or three months at least. Slow and steady wins the race. Just don't put yourself in danger and don't get discouraged if you don't reach 50lbs lost by June. Remember than any weight lost between now and June is weight you wouldn't have lost if you hadn't tried!0 -
I have the same goal. Feel free to add me. Together we can do it!0

Add me too! I'm 52 and have set a goal to lose 50 lbs by June 15.0
