Need to lose 30lbs by May

If you have 30 pounds to lose total - it's not going to happen by May. The closer you get to goal, the slower you will lose. Sorry.

Pound per week goals
75+ lbs set to lose 2 lb range
Between 40 - 75 lbs set to lose 1.5 lb range
Between 25-40 lbs set to lose 1 lb range
Between 15-25 lbs set to lose 1 -.50 lb range
Less than 15 lbs set to lose 0.5 lbs range

Plug your stats into MFP, eat the number of calories provided. If you exercise, log that and eat 50-75% of those calories too.

Set a reasonable goal, eat foods you enjoy......but stay accountable. Measure & log everything. You will lose weight AND gain knowledge about portions that will help you keep the weight off.

You can do this!

We all battle with weight gain myself included. What have you done to try and control this? Eating exercising? I can just look at food and gain weight. Having the same like minded people around who motivate you helps and a bit of healthy competition. Join others or even add me if you like im new to adding people i usually go solo but think i need motivation too.
