I'm trying to lose about 30 lbs in the next 3 months.
I'll be eating healthy than I have been and hopefully hiking at least 2 to 3 times a week if not then I'll be doing cardio in another form. Before anyone says why rush the losing and put a number on it- I lose best in the summer so I'm going to try to do it then and my numbers are just estimates, I'll be happy when my body feels healthiest.
Who's in to lose a goal in these next 3 months! Add me and we can support each other and give advice.

I lose better in the summer too but I'd have to cut something off to lose 30 in 90 days lol26

Unless you're obese or willing to starve, that's TOO AMBITIOUS a goal. That's 10lbs a month or 2.5lbs a week. So a calorie deficit of over a 1000 a day and if one has a TDEE of less than 2200, that's NOT alot of calories to consume. But hey, that's up to you.

Unless you have a substantial amount to lose, over all, an approx loss of 2.5lb per week for 12 weeks will be tough.
best of luck!!4 -

But depending on your current weight losing 30 lbs in 3 months won't make your body be at it's healthiest. It's setting your body up for muscle loss.

If you lose better in the summer, what happened last summer? Do you try this every summer? Why not adjust your intake a little and the thirty pounds will be gone by next summer.15

I would LOVE to!0

As others have said here, losing 2.5lbs per week is bordering unhealthy weight loss and is generally reserved for the morbidly obese.5
-
Others have already said that's too aggressive a goal, so I'll skip that part.
I'm shooting for 15 lbs in 3 months. Same time frame, so I'm in!

I'm trying to drop 2lbs a week. The weight I am at is the heviest I ever been in my life. I had 6kids and my last 1 was the heaviest I had and that was a year ago and I kept on the weight and added 5lbs to it0
-
I would like to lose 15 lbs in 3 months as well. I'm in for that part! Much more attainable and still fairly aggressive. It will take work and commitment, but it's more realistic and way more healthy.4

I just lost 31 lbs in 7 weeks. But I started at 279 lbs. Eating between 1200-1400 calories per day. The first 20 happened fast. The other 11 took a month. Now I'm losing at around 2-3 lbs per week. I'm prediabetic and trying not to be. So I'm fine eating where I am now and I'm not hungry. All under my doctor's care.16

I am similar.Started at 258 and 8 weeks later I am at 224 but it is slowing down. Also under a doctors care.5 -
I'm in. Was starting a month challenge tomorrow anyways for 8 in 30 days so I'll push for 10 in 30 and go from there.0

I have already prepped my meals for the next three days at 1250 cal per day.1

I'm in, 15lbs in 3 months though!1

My goal is 10-15 pounds in three months. I average -6lbs per month but I wouldn't be sad if it slowed to 3 or 4. I am sooooo not in a rush to lose the fat. Slow and easy has been working really well for me so far.
My initial summer goal was 3 pounds ago (break the obese/overweight barrier) so anything more is great!2 -
No thanks im happy with my 2lb a week and im 244lb1
-
I'm down. I have 26 to lose and I have goals set to do 2lbs a week for loss.0
