I am a 27 year old Male. I am 245 pounds and I am 5 feet 7 inches tall. I obviously need to lose lots of weight. I have a family trip I'm going on starting August 1st. I would like to be in pretty good shape by then. I know that obese people can safely lose weight a lot faster than someone who is already thin.

Also being 27 years old and overweight/obese my entire life, consequently, I have never had a girlfriend, a date, or even a kiss. Can anybody relate to this?

So how much weight can I lose by then with good dedication? Any recommended diets? Has anybody lost a lot of weight in that same timeframe? Any advice in general?

Thanks so much I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.
