    Failure happens when people have no plan or commitment to it. There's also REASONABLE weight loss. There's like 4 months left in the year. Someone saying they would want to lose 100lbs likely has NO CHANCE to do that.

    13.2 to get into the lower weight class when competing, but only if I didn't lose any strength.

    A. But I'd lose fat and gain muscle.

    There are 21 weeks left in 2017 and I'm eating TDEE-500 so, arguably, I will lose 21 more pounds. I'm expecting to perhaps lose a bit more since I have over 100 pounds to lose and at TDEE-500, I'm losing at close to two pounds/week.

    5 pounds. I'm on the highest end of my maintenance range and would like to get to the lower end before the holidays (when I will go back up :p ).

    Trying to lose 11 lbs by Oct 31st. I have a plan this time. Before I just said I wanted to lose the last 10 lbs but never set up any other goals along with it so I stalled.

    Approximately 10 more pounds by Nov. 11th. So (B). That will get me just under 150 before my Cancun Trip. And I won't fail because I have a good solid plan...LOL

    After that my goal is (A), TO STAY THE SAME! That seems to be VERY hard for me to do.

    At my current rate of loss, E at about 30 pounds. More realistically, C or D at about 15-20 pounds because I have no desire to keep losing as quickly as I have been.

    E, 20 pounds but realistically my body could probably only lose 15

    E. I mean, if not failing means both a healthy rate of loss and building sustainable habits, I'd go for two pounds a week through the end of the year. As it is, I'm expecting around 1/3rd to 1/4th of that, as that's what I'm finding sustainable.

    Well, I've already hit E. But my goal was 100lbs before Christmas. I started in May & I'm about 32lbs from that goal now.
