Reasonable goal?

I currently weigh 166lbs and I'm 5'6, 18 year old girl about to go to college in the fall! I really want to make a change and drop 15-20 pounds by the end of July. Is this a possible goal? I drink a looooot of juice so I'm cutting that back completely.

Hey girl. I am not a professional in all this but if you want to lose weight aim to eat your protein and lots of veggies and a piece of fruit in between meals plus drink a lot of water. Plus tracking your food helps with the myfitness app. Good luck

Totally possible. Get a food scale, log your food accurately and eat at a calorie deficit. MFP should tell you how many calories you should be eating a week once you put in your goals and activity level.

Hey there, with your stats your BMR is 1600, your TDEE 1860... so to lose weight you need to eat under 1860... I suggest eating 1360 (500 deficit) for a loss of about 1 lbs/week (it won't be completely linear). Also, since what i wrote is valid for mostly sedentery lifestyle you should on top of that eat at least half of your exercise calories. Make sure you use scale to weigh all solids and cups for liquids and make sure you choose right entries from MFP. Take your time, it works like a charm. Also don't deprive yourself too much of things you like, portion control is key. Good luck!0
