My surgery is 2-2-11. My wife promised me a small new fishing boat that I want when I hit 50 pounds of weight loss. Can I do that in three months , in time for spring fishing?

Wow you have a great wife! Everyone is different so it's hard to tell if you can get that much weight off or not. But men tend to lose faster then women...

what a great motivation for you! Just think of all the fish you will have and the healthy meals they will make for you!

Wow great reward to look forward to.. I totally think its possible, but everyone is different and loses at different rates...

Many times men do better than women.
I have a strong suspision you will make or exceed your 50 pound goal in 3 months.
I have a before and after pic that won't load on this site but it shows me down 55 pounds in 10 weeks.
You should have no problem.
Happy Fishing :)

Good thing it's a small boat, a large one won't fit for long!

Better find a way to cook fish that doesn't involve breading and frying. You're on your way.
