Question Can I make it?
Well 1st week down and 4 lbs gone!

I was just wondering ....

Is it a reasonable goal to lose 51 lbs by June 28th? I want to hit ONEderland by my vacation!

A good, healthy, steady weight loss of 2 lbs a week (averaged over time) is an awesome acheivement. Do the math for us. How does that look for you?

Well I did the math, and I leave exactly 20 weeks from today....in theory that would be 40 lbs....I am still going to strive for that extra 10. That would mean I would have to lose 2.5 lbs a week. Still doable, maybe............

Definetly doable, but don't do something that you wouldn't be able to keep up with. I've had to change my goals a lot because of wanting too much too fast. Some people can lose a lot quickly and still maintain. I hope you are one of those people and I sincerley wish you the best of luck!

P.S. My goal is 39lbs by July 1st!

Thanks for the support!
You are absolutely right, 40 lbs will be a world of difference. I would be happy with any significant change. But if I shoot for the stars I just might land on the moon!
