I am:
20 years old
5'4"
145 lbs

I want:
to weight 115 by May 1st
to feel more confident in myself
to be the healthy, active young adult I know I can be

My Goals:
strive for between 1800 and 1900 calories a day
get 60 min of exercise each day
Eat breakfast

My Rewards:
a brand new bikini (nice) once I reach my goal
a haircut at a decent salon when I make it halfway.

I'm using fit day to keep track of my progress. I like it because it's really user friendly and has a lot of foods in it's database.

30lbs in 48 days is a little bit of a lofty goal.
You would have to burn approximately 105,000 calories to reach a loss of 30lbs.

Generally, doctors recommend 8-10lbs of loss as a max per month.

You will have to be burning about 2187.5 calories PER DAY in order to burn 105,000 calories in your time frame. That works out to about 4 HOURS of solid jogging, per day.

Your other goals are great though, if you keep with them you will definately see improvement in your fitness levels, and you will lose some weight, it will probably just take longer then a month and a half.
