What are my chances?

first time doing atkins: one month lost 20 lbs
Second time 3 weeks lost 20lbs

I want to be down to 250 by July 25th I am expecting a stall or a lot but you think its a ideal goal to have by july 25th I have a wedding to go to and I wanna fit into my suit I wore when I graduated high school when I was around 250

Possible?
Not possible?


I know atkins works well but not sure if I have set a goal in mind for the proper time and I really don't wanna get disappointed becuase I get my hopes up....

Being that you are a man it definitely seems like a reasonable goal. Make sure you are exercising regularly. Eat right and drink you water. I definitely think it is possible. And if you are not down to 250 you still may be able to fit into that suit as you may gain muscle which as we all know weighs more than fat. :nod

I exercise only on the days the end in "y" I usually do a 20-30 minute 5 days a week and later at my job I have to walk for an hour I do it rather briskly. On the weekends Im a remodeling a house. working on the ceilings currently so its constantly up and down on a chair for 8 hours or more. If its not that I go walking on the weekends esp. with it being nice out. So exercise isn't a problem.

I just dont wanna set up for disaster...

I think you will be alright.
It doesn't seem to be to high a goal seeing how well you are doing right now and also because you are a man, they tend to lose weight a bit easier than women, you lucky you
And well, you do a lot of exercise so that'll be alright too, so spirittalker is also right, maybe you wouldn't be 250, but still fit that suit.

You can do it!

I believe you can do it! Your goal is kind of simillar to mines--I want to be 220 by June 1st, and I am currently 247. :yes Let me know how your progess goes and I'll keep you posted on mines.
