in Introduce Yourself

Anyone want to join be in losing 20 pounds by New Years?! I’m 5’2 and I started off at my highest weight of 190.4 lbs. I managed to get down around 160-164 and have been fluctuating there for 5 months now :( buuuut my goal was to get to 140 before the year ends and I know it’ll be a little difficult since that’s a lot of weight for such a little time now. But I know if I put my mind to it I can do it that’s of course the healthy way! Add me if you want to do this with me so we can motivate each other!!! :)

    It's only 7 weeks until NYE. If you had 75+ lbs to lose, you could probably lose 2 lbs/week, which means 14 lbs. Most people can manage 1 lb/week.

    So, to lose the last 20 lbs? It will likely take 1 lb/week except the last 5 lbs, which may take more time. Let's say 25 weeks? May, 2018.

    maintenance is currently 4,032 (fluctuates up from there depending on activity level), currently consuming about 1550 daily on average. 4032 - 1550 = 2482 x 53 days = 131,546/3500 = 37.58 - 7.58 pounds (just to make it more likely) = 30 lbs by new year.

    Count me in, I'll give it a go.
