    @kshama2001 Thanks for your input, nobody has to lose 50lbs by Christmas and anyone who joins this group can choose a starting date earlier than today. You are making assumptions.

    It's true that if you're starting today and losing 50 lbs hits your goal weight, then it would be pretty tough. But hey, let's go for it! My goal is 80 so 50 by December is doable.

    Scooby says the # 1 reason people fail to lose weight is flaming out due to having overly aggressive goals:

    I've lost 80 lbs over 12 months, and I totally agree with that.

    My weight dropped off easily at the start, but I took my time and ate whatever I felt like within my calorie limit, and ate back 50-75% of the many exercise calories I earned.

    If you only have 50 lbs to reach a mid-range healthy BMI, Christmas is unrealistic and unwise to aim for.

    If you have 180 lbs to lose by Christmas, then you'll have a better chance.

    I'll do 50 by Christmas with you. I need to put a deadline on my weight loss. That will be my short term goal. I'm looking to lose way more than that as a final goal

    Sure add me. 50 lbs by Christmas sounds like a reachable goal....with a lot of hard work. I'm ready though.

    You can all do it!! Took me 6 months to drop 60lbs plus whatever muscle I put on. Just change your diet, #1, aim to workout daily (make it just as important as a meal you have to eat, sleep you must have, or kids you need to take care of, fit it in at least an hour somehow, that's just 4% of your day!) and get into a calorie deficit and use MFP religiously to keep you on track as you adjust and play with foods you can or can't eat that day cuz you ate this or that for breakfast/lunch, etc. And make your CHEAT MEAL once a week a carb reload/refeed meal (YouTube this) instead. Get into a routine, cook your foods and meal prep once a week, ziplock bag and weigh your foods after grocery shopping, takes but an hour while you watch a tv show, and BOOOOM! 2lbs a week easily. -=). Good luck!
