    You have youth on your side. I think it will be easier for you anyway.

    Be careful. Two pounds a week is the maximum you should attempt. Don't put a time limit on it.

    Two pounds a week.

    Drink lots of water and try and keep your sodium below 1500 mg/day. Also, make sure you are getting plenty of protein: this will help build muscle as you lose the fat.
    Good luck!

    Ditto!

    A slow steady loss will be easier to keep off than any form of a crash diet where a lot of weight is lost quickly.

    Good luck to you and your Mom.

    Hate to be repetitive.. but, I think the 50 pounds is waay too much. You want to learn how to change your lifestyle.. not necessarily a race to the finish. However, I do know that a challenge can be good. Ever think about changing the challenge to - whoever loses the highest % of weight by February? That way .. it puts things on a more even playing level.
