    Are you doing one of those weight-loss challenges? I signed up for one a few months back and I felt like it added unneeded stress to an seemingly stressful task of losing weight. I was (and am not) a fan of such challenges.

    Personally, I've lost a little over 30 pounds in 130 days. The best part is that what I am doing to lose the weight is maintainable and is a lifestyle change not just some gimmicky challenge or whatever. If your looking to lose the 35 pounds and keep it off then don't give yourself such a strict timeline.

    I lost that much in my first 3 months, but I started near 300. I'm closer to 200 now and that would be completely unreasonable. Eating 800-1000 calories while exercising I've tried and it zaps your energy which makes you burn less through everyday activity. It's better to set MFP to lose .5 to 2 pounds per week, and eat back exercise calories to fuel your workouts. You will reach your goal with patience and not be miserable getting there.
