I guess this is for all of us individulals who have alot of extra to get rid of!

In the month of Feb. i lost around 25 lbs. with moderate effort. This time around i want to challenge myself and lose a full 30 by the end of March!

I guess if your in pretty good shape already you can try to lose around 8% of your total Body fat.

If anyone wants to challenge themselves with me, jump in..

SW 369 lbs. 2/29
WK1 xxx lbs. 3/8
WK2 xxx lbs. 3/15
WK3 xxx lbs. 3/22
WK4 xxx lbs. 3/29
Final xxx lbs. 3/31

Current monthly total= -xxx lbs.

    Good Job on your loss during the month of February. Sounds like you're super motivated and you'll be able to reach your March goal no problem. GOOD LUCK

    I hope you mean 30 total (meaning 7 more than your current 23) instead of an additional 30. 7 is definitely obtainable, 30 would be unhealthy.

    I wish you all the best! I'm living proof that you CAN do this - just focus on getting healthy, and don't give up!

    Wonderful job! I have a lot to lose as well. I tried aggressive goals like that, but they did not work out for me and backfired. Finally after years of the battle I have learned, for me, I just need to go slow and work on it day to day. Good luck in your goals!

    Typically when you first begin and have a great deal of weight to lose it comes off at a fast rate. Just don't go so hardcore this early that you lose interest. Good job on your losses and just remember this is a long term healing process.

    Hello Corylda,

    I have spoke with my Dr. and a few other experts and they all see no problem with losing 30 lbs. in one month. Infact i was told by my Dr. that he himself had to have a nutritionist help him 14 years ago and he was losing weight at 50 lbs. a month. I was informed that as long as i still take in my neccesary pyramid and continue to put out effort in the exercise department, 30 lbs. will be AOK. However, i do appreciate the concern for my health :).

    Here is my update, it was a challenging first week nothing wanted to come off at first.

    SW 369 lbs. 2/29
    WK1 363 lbs. 3/8
    WK2 xxx lbs. 3/15
    WK3 xxx lbs. 3/22
    WK4 xxx lbs. 3/29
    Final xxx lbs. 3/31

    Current monthly total= -6 lbs.

    Sounds like you are just tossing away the lean mass along with the fat.
    Whats your workout routine looking like?

    I'm keeping my cal's around 2000, and im burning around 500 cal a night. On top i am also participating in a fitness challenge which i do not calculate as exercise. I keep that to myself as an added bonus. So technically im burning around 600-700 a night depending on the challenge.
