    Any goal can be reached by first setting small goals to obtain the larger goal.

    I strongly recommend against that. There is no healthy way to lose 27 lbs per month and any crash diet you do find will not be a sustainable lifestyle. You'll just wind up gaining it all back after you start eating again while damaging your health in the process.

    Please consider losing weight the healthy way.

    I have needed to lose about 80 pounds for 20 years, I finally have a chance to win $1500 if I win and then I will slow down and do a maintenance progam or do it the slow way

    I am HOPING to lose 51 pounds by the first of August for my wedding. Every pound over that is extra awesome-ness. Lol. If I could lose 76 pounds by 8/1/2012 I would have reach my first goal.

    At this point every pound I lose is a happy dance. As long as I FEEL beautiful on my wedding day I can care less what the scale says.

    Feel free to add me. I have no idea if 80lbs can be lost in 8 months but I am up for a challenge

    No. But i want to lose 60 in 6 so it's basically the same premise. TEN POUNDS A MONTH!

    Totally possible, and welcome to the forums! I lost 40 lbs in 3 months, its totally possible to do double that!

    Sounds like a pretty aggressive goal. I don't want to discourage you, but it's probably unhealthy to lose that much in such a short time. And you might be setting yourself up for failure... But what do I know? Just make sure you are getting proper nutrients and celebrate each pound lost, however long it takes. Good luck!

    I need help and encouragement!!!

    50lbs in 5 months would make me so happy! I celebrate and welcome any loss tho.

    100lbs is my goal, I can't wait to be me both on the inside and out!

    I just want to be healthy and happy no matter the # tho ;)

    Please add me ;)

    I've already lost 18 lbs, and goal is to lose 80 more. So far I've only managed about 6-7 lbs per month, so I will have to step it up if I meet the 10 lbs per month needed to reach 80 in 8. I really need to get more consistent with physical activity, and this challenge gives me one more reason to get going. Thanks!

    I didn't think losing anything more than 4-6lbs a month was healthy. To each their own, though. :/
