Is being Skinny really that far away?

Options
I am 141 pounds at 5'5. I am not overweight but I do have quite a stomach and jiggly arms. I was probably suppose to be born a cute chubby bear.... :3 But took form of a chubby human. I will be eating a 1200 calorie diet started tomorrow. If I follow this strategic plan until March 27, will I lose 25 pounds and reach my goal weight at 116 pounds? Is being skinny really that far away? Idk if I will be strong enough to lose weight. I don't want to give up. How can I get motivated to continue this war against overindulging to junk food?

    Throw out your scale and start lifting some heavy weights :)

    Set your goals to living a healthier life and forget about the weight for now. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like and check our my diary.
    Spend some time working out your TDEE to ensure you are eating the right amount of cals.
    You can do this

    Agreed though out the scale!! What has worked best for me has been weight lifting and actually eating more. You need fuel and it's a matter of the kind of food that you eat

    ^ This. Losing weight does not get rid of belly fat and love handles, reducing your bodyfat percenatge does. Lifting heavy while eating a deficit will help you retain muscle while loing weight, thus lowering your bodyfat percentage.
