Honestly? I'd make it at least half that to be realistic and not needlessly disappoint yourself. The average amount lost is 1-2 pounds a week. You're aiming for 5 pounds a week. That isn't realistic at all.

I'd aim for 10 pounds, it's still more than 2 pounds a week. Just my opinion.

Best wishes.

That's too high for me personally but I'd love to join you in the challenge. My goal is 8 pounds a month but if I can even get half of that I'm considering it a success... I've started comparing myself to the tortoise in the race - slow and steady wins.

What other details about your challenge can you share?

First of all thankyou all for you replies =) If you want to join me in this 30 day challenge you guys are mor ethan welcome you can do your own thing but for you others wandering what i'm doing allow me to explain. Las year I lost 20 lbs in one month ( I wasn't banded yet) I did no exercise at all but to tell you the truth it was really hard to do ( I guess thats whyyou call it a challenge right). Basically I joined this Facebook page that is managed by this nutritionist that woorks for the biggest Spanish television network in The U.S.A. He posted each daymwhat you weres upposed to eat the next day an dif youfollowed his instructions you woul lose the weight most people conbined it with exercise that he suggested also but I did not. First week Iost 14lbs, second I lost 4, and third 2 and then I did no tweigh myself cause honestly I cheated all the last week =( my sister lost 12lbs and my mom lost 14, and my other sister lost only ten she never did it right. If you want to do this one like me you can only problem is the FB page is in spanish I think there is a transalt ebutton somewhere. If you want to do it I can help you out just give m ea couple of days andI'll transalte one week ahead and posted on my fb support page all u have to do is join and I'll post it on my note also I can e-mail them to you I just think posting it is easier. I ask thi stwo days beacuse you eat more in this diet and i'm making it lap-band friendly also you eat more if you are a guy, It's up to you just heat me up by tomorrow so I can get started for those who are interested ok. Also don't be like me and keep your goals realistic ;-) lol!! so we won't be dissapointed later. it's worth the try right!!

It's great! I'll start the 15th a challange for 30 days as well, but it will be PALEO. No carbs, no sugars, no processed food. I like this one because it helps you with the sugar cravings and besided it gives you a lot og energy.

I'm just like you setting up my weight loss goals, I'm thinking on lossing about 15-20 pounds per month. I know I can do it..

Will definitevely follow your progress.. Good luck :)

Oh believe me, I know, I'm guilty of it too! I get all these grand ideas of how I'm going to lose some amount in a set amount of time, realize how unrealistic my lofty goals are, and reluctantly adjust them.

Btw, I started off about where you are as far as weight to lose. So far I'm losing quite well. If I can do this, you can totally do this too. :)

Best wishes!

On Atkins I could lose 20 pounds easily each month for 3 months, then it would slow down. And all this is without any exercise.

Best wishes

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
