Sounds really unhealthy, considering you are within a normal BMI for your height. I'm not saying you shouldn't lose 5 lbs, if that's what you want. I'm saying that it's not safe to do it in a week, and short of dropping a bunch of water weight, mathematically, it's not possible to run that kind of calorie deficit to lose 5 lbs of fat in a week.
Take it slower, I've seen several of your posts. Your self-talk has been really negative, and you are putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. Breath. Set a reasonable target and reasonable goal weight and take care of yourself.4 -

No. I don’t agree. This is extremely unhealthy, especially for you, at your current weight.2 -
Hey folks - 5 pounds in a week is a faster rate of weight loss than MFP suggests so are closing this discussion and encourage folks to review the feedback from other members in this thread.
