Reply from cat, Age 18 - 06/07/04 - IP#: 80.44.200.xxx august 30th is about 11 weeks away!!! to lose 50lbs u would need to lose an average of 4.5lbs a week!!! the healthy amount is inbetween .5 and 2lbs. u really shouldn't set urself such unrealistic goals because when u cant meet it it'll upset u and u'll b more likely to give up...a more realistic target would be up to 22lbs & if lose more then fantastic u can be really proud and if not it doesn't matter coz u can keep working on it. ive been losing weight since february, and I don't expect to reach my 50lb loss until end of august & I have 14lbs left to go...slow & steady wiins the race!!!!you'll get there in the end even ifit does take a while, its better and quicker than loads of failed attempts at fast weight loss

You can eat fruit for those snacks like grapes, strawberrys, and watermelon. If you walk 15-30 minutes a day that will really help. You should do things you like you like to do for instance riding a bike or dancing. Just think about the reward at the end of all this. It will make you happy and work harder for it. If you need some more support you can email me at whoville2004@aol.com. I wish you the best of luck.
