    That's 50 pounds in 16 weeks, which comes out to losing just over three pounds per week. Unless you have hundreds and hundreds of pounds to lose, that is a much too aggressive goal. You should shoot for a loss of about 1% of your bodyweight per week, not the ridiculous numbers you see on The Biggest Loser.

    If 50 pounds is the total amount you have to lose, set your weight loss goal for 1 to 1.5 pounds per week and enjoy not starving yourself.

    Yea your right I should change it to about 30 that might be a little more realistic if I really push myself

    My goal is 50lbs by next April (2017). I will be taking couples portraits to celebrate my 10th anniversary. Very doable, so here's hoping! Best wishes to you!

    I started my goal 45 days ago to lose 25-30 lbs and I'm already down 11 lbs! My goal is June 10. It is do-able, but some days are harder than others! Feel free to friend me if you want! I have vacation and 15 year reunion this year. Great motivators!

    My goal is a bit ahead of that - my magic date is July 2, when we go on vacation to visit my husband's family for a week. I'd like to be down another 30 pounds by then, although I'd settle for 20 pounds down from where I am today. That would put me down a total of 38 pounds for the year thus far, which would be awesome.

    My next goal after that is mid-October, when I'll be visiting my own family for the first time since December 2015, when I was at my highest weight. My goal is to be down 50 pounds by the time I go to visit them. They don't know I'm trying to lose weight, so it'll be a nice surprise for them.

    I'm about to step up my exercise regime - adding in some jogging instead of just walking, and hitting the gym to work on building muscle. Hopefully that additional calorie burn and muscle building will result in more efficient weight loss.
