Yeah.....that's really not very healthy or sustainable. About 14 pounds in 50 days would be a bit more realistic.0

How much do you weigh now?
I've lost 30 pounds in 30 days before but I was well over 300 pounds and it comes off a lot faster at first (at least in my experience) before leveling out to a couple of pounds a week.0 -
I don't think there is any "quick fix" for weight loss. I would say with hard work and dedication, you will lose some weight in that amount of time. Follow your plan here. Calories in and calories out. Watch what you are eating and keep yourself active!0

How quickly you lose weight really depends on how much you have to lose. 30lbs in 50 days is a pretty big goal, especially if you're not obese. Don't let that discourage you, though! I bet even if you lose 10lbs in that time, people will still be amazed when you go back to school. You can keep losing through the fall and then you'll have winter break, and you could totally be at your ultimate goal weight when you go back to school in January!
Also, weight loss should be for YOU, not for anyone else. You should be doing this because you want to be healthy. If you're doing it for any other reason, you are more likely to give up. Your OWN happiness should be the priority to you. Losing weight won't magically fix all your problems!
That being said, there is no quick fix for losing weight. If you eat healthy, stay within your calorie goal, and exercise, the weight will come off! Don't believe any of those crazy diet myths like "don't eat after 7pm" or "stop eating carbs." Some of those quick fix solutions may work temporarily but as soon as you start eating normally again the weight will come back twice as fast. Please do this the healthy way, even if it's not as fast as you'd like.
Feel free to add me - I lost a little over 15 pounds, reached my goal weight, and I continue to try to lose fat and gain muscle to look and feel better every day!
ETA: And drink PLENTY of water! The week I started drinking more water, I dropped 3lbs. Water weight is annoying and totally easy to get rid of - just drink more!0 -
What's your current weight? 30 pounds in 50 days might be tough on your bod.0

Hi. I'm new to this site, just joined yesterday. I started my very strict diet on June 13 and am down 19 pounds. The first 12 came on quick in 2 weeks. Now has slowed down so I have upped my exercise. That dreaded word, EXERCISE, but it is the key - and of course proper diet and portion control. I'm trying to get off as much as I can before vacation to Hawaii.........hang in there, WE'LL DO IT0

Follow the calorie guidelines that this site recommends for your weight and then try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week... There is no fast solution for this. It takes time. You have to be patient and consistent.0

Yeah there's not way you can lose 30 pounds that quickly if you're at 160 now. You are most likely at a healthy weight now (not sure on your hieght) so why stress yourself out with trying to lose that much so quickly?0 -
Sorry to tell you this but you will not weigh 130 pounds in 50 days without extreme measures that will hurt you.0

Good luck with this. I posted partly in jest that I wanted to lose 8 lbs in a week a few days ago and I got over 200 nasty comments about hacking off limbs or throwing up in under 1 hour. And finally got an email from MFP saying I was promoting eating disorders. I would suggest just forgetting this. Unless you can join the biggest loser it probably won't happen.0

For the love of god please don't do this. This is exactly one of those crazy diet things I was saying to ignore. It's a top-notch way to kill your metabolism though, if you're interested! :happy: :grumble:0
