Hello everyone,

How long do you think it would take me to lose 25/30lbs? I exercise 6 days a week mostly a 4 mile brisk walk, I eat my 1200 calorie diet clean and balanced and I am not over weight my BMI is about 23 at the moment, I am around 5,2 and 125 pounds, please no criticism, I was 100 pounds six months ago, my body was perfectly healthy but I gained weight from lack of exercise and being lazy, so I would like to get down to that area again.

Thank you.

    With the way that you are eating/exercising, I would say within 4-5 months. I have lost almost 20 pounds within 2.5 months doing the same type of exercising and calories as yourself. :) Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Were you 125 pounds when you started?

    It took a lot of effort to not laugh at this (I'm in public and don't want to be the weird lady giggling at her phone).

    What? No, a person who weighs only 125 pounds is not going to lose 2-4 pounds a week healthily. Think of it in terms of bodyweight percentage. You can lose 2-4 pounds per week healthily if you weigh 350 pounds, but not 125.

    OP if you are not overweight and you have a BMI of 23, why do you want to lose 25 - 30 lb?

    100lb at your height puts you below a healthy BMI.

    Yes I know BMI isn't the be all and end all,but wondering if your goal is healthy or realistic.

    No I wasn´t, It is just a guesstimate. But I am assuming with the amount of exercise and her daily calorie intake that it could be possible :)

    No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no and did i mention NO!

    For someone who is 100+ lbs then maybe and even then 4lbs per week is excessive.

    Your weight is healthy at the moment and by loosing the extra weight you may be putting your health at risk. I recommend continuing a healthy, active lifestyle but not aiming for such a large weight loss. As you are around 125lb, 1lb(maybe 2lb) a week is healthy.
