I am 18 y/o & female & would like to lose weight. i am 237 lbs & 5'7". what would be a healthy goal to set to lose weight by june? is 50 lbs too much?

Weight loss too fast: Hi colleen. Losing 50lbs is about 55% excess body weight loss. Losing that in 6 months is fast, even for someone who has had surgery. That doesn't mean it is bad though. If you are eating healthy food and exercising a lot, losing weight that fast can be safe.
