    Yes, I am trying to lose 70 pounds or more. This is hard, but maybe we can all keep the others motivated.

    It is definitely possible. I have lost 80 lbs. in 6 months. I know that sounds extreme to most but the diet that I am on worked for me. I have 30 more to go :smile:

    Continue to be dedicated - with whatever diet you choose.

    I would like to lose 50 lbs by June and 90 by December. Maybe we can help motivate each other.

    I have a little more than that left to lose, you may send me a friend request if you would like! I lost my first 60lbs in 6 months, so yes it is doable. Just consistantly track your food, eat well and exercise. The last 2 months slowed down for me, but I am 100% completely back on track now. Best of luck!!

    Wow, reading this post and seeing everyone's success has been surprisingly motivational. I was just checking out the community section for the first time after throwing my calories into the counter, but think I will be back for more motivation regularly. Hopefully I'll be motivating as well as being motivated in 6 months time (aiming to lose over 80 lbs).

    I have lost 57 in that amount of time. there is no doubt in my mind that if I had stayed true to my new ways, and put forth just a little more effort, I could have lost more. So no, not unrealistic at all. Good luck!!

    I've lost 71 pounds in 7 months. I still have at least 20 more to go...so I am sure it will slow down a bit. I have my goals set to lose two pounds a week...and for the most part, this has been the case. I tend to eat around 1200 calories a day, limit my sodium to 1500 mg a day, limit my fat intake to approximately 30 grams a day (I know many will disagree and tell you to limit carbs), and try to eat at least 2000 mg of potassium (potassium is usually present in whole, nonprocessed foods). I exercise as much as possible...most days I burn an average of 500 calories. I don't eat my exercise calories. Many would disagree with my method...but this is how I roll...and it works for me.

    My goal IS to lose 74lbs and have lost about 32 so far...Mine has been a VERY slow journey by choice. I have been getting to my goal by eating whatever I want and there has also been 2-3 months since last April when I didn't work out or count. You can totally do this, it does take a lot of dedication, but you have to KNOW that NO MATTER WHAT your goal is important to you to reach. Cannot wait to support one another to greatness! :-)

    I've done it. It's possible, but I started out over 300 lbs. The bigger you are, the fast you will lose.

    My goal is to lose 70lbs til the next September, is that unrealistic? Has anyone done it or is wanting to achieve the same? Would love to hear some success stories and find some friends with the same goals :)

    I need to lose about 50-60lbs (possibly more). I've just joined here a few days ago. Anyone can add me if they like. I need all the tips, advice I can get. x

    My goal is 86 lbs. I lost 42 last year, but gained it all back, plus. I lost my drive and focus. I'm slowly trying to find it again.
