    I am really interested in seeing if you make it. Keep us posted or add me as a friend. I am rooting for you.

    I think it's possible. Aggressive, but possible. I'm 5' 9"...I started at 247 on November 7th and currently at 210 (37 pounds lost so far). Looking back at my records, I shed the first 30 pounds in 54 days. Nothing extreme in my case, just conscious eating (using MFP to hit calorie targets and macro nutrient goals) and cardio. The first two months I was solely doing elliptical at home ranging from 30 minutes to an hour each day, depending on the day. I haven't missed a day of cardio yet. I've since added in weight lifting. The rate at which I'm losing weight has leveled off, but I continue to lose inches.

    Had I been laser beam focused on 29 pounds in 41 days I think it could've been possible with more cardio and even cleaner eating...especially considering the fact that the period of time I shed those first 30 pounds included Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and a handfull of parties/events, so I definitely had some cheat/spike days.

    Just one guy's recent experience / progress. I hope it helps.

    Yes it is definitely possible. i would think some kind of juice fasting would get you there.

    Well I have 26 pounds and 40 days or I lose my job. So here goes nothing. Eating no more than a 1000 cal a day and exercising. Other wise I will be having to find a new job.

    What is your starting weight? Drink lots of water. No to low carbs... alot of lean protein. Work out 5 days a week. NO More then that. It is possible... You will not have to cut off a limb like stated in so many entries above.

    I think it's possible, just not preferable. But sometimes, we gotta do what we gotta do. You can always do some type of juice fasting. However, you won't end up keeping the weight off unless you make healthy lifestyle changes for good. I wish you the best.

    I lost that much when I started. But I started at an absurd 382 pounds. It slows down though!

    I started 10 months ago at 340. Now I am 279. I have to be under 250. I have till Feb 29th. I was doing weight watchers and was doing steady loss. Now I am crunched and need to lose more at a time than I have been. I am now counting calories and staying under a 1000 and not eating my exercise calories. Weigh in is every quarter. So once i am below, I can go back to slow and steady. My ultimate goal is to be around 180 pounds.
