Would you consider losing 50 pounds by october an unrealistic

Its possible. I spent 3 months in jail and lost 35lbs. I was also 200lbs too. I'm currently 165lbs. Change your diet and stay active. That's the key .

My main thing any time I look to help lose weight is to walk 5 miles per day, seeing as thats close to 500 calories burned.

I'm going to start lifting to go with it as well so it's more fat than muscle going away. Although I have little muscle as is.

Due to a bad case of depression i stopped lifting for 3 years and ate whatever i wanted whenever i wanted and i got to 25% at 230lbs. It was to late to cut so i bulked up cleanly and trained hard and will keep going until the end of June now i have to lose 30 - 40lbs by November for our summer. That's about 5 months. I think it is doable.

22 weeks until Halloween. 50 pounds.
2.27 pounds per week. 1,140 calorie deficit per day.
Unrealistic? Not necessarily. Easy? Probably not.
You can do it though, if you put 100% effort forward and don't stray from the path.
Godspeed.

Yeah, I'm all fat no muscle so I figured it'd be best to get down to 150, then start bulking/cutting from there.

I intend not to, I used to do all the very super strict calorie counting/weighting with a food scale, but holy fuck is that a toll on you mentally.

not stray from the path, I mean*

It's ALL about diet. Exercise (cardio or lifting) should be secondary. Find out your BMR and calculate how many calories you can eat per day to reach your goal by October. 3500 calories per pound isn't exact but it's pretty damn close.

Don't forget to factor in the occasional cheat day/meal in your calculations, and working out will just help you reach your goals faster. Lifting will add muscle so focus more on how you look versus what you weigh if you do plan on lifting.

Best of luck anon

From my personal experience that would be a bit tough. You could do 40 if you never go off your diet or routine.

I've lost 27 pounds since February being about 60 pounds overweight. The main thing is stick with it even if you don't meet your goal, just do your best and keep going to the point where you enjoy it and then you'll be more flexible

Don't overdo it or you'll just give up. Enjoying your exercise is key

Oh well at least he has goals. You must be a teenage DYEL because no one who actually goes to the gym gives a fuck if a fat person is there trying
