My plans to succeed are .. I am going to walk 100 miles (for the month of August) and in the middle of August start the 21 day fix. I have already started my diet/lifestyle change as of yesterday.

Does my goal seem realistic? i'm trying not to be unrealistic here. I'm projecting a pound a week. Diet/exercise to reach my goal.

    Yes, you can lose 25lbs in 4 months if you stick with your diet plans , it should be easy. I don't think you will have to walk 100 miles though for the entire month. I walk 1 mile per day, 4 or 5 days per week. I found out that drinking 80-100oz of water per day. Or i count 20oz Water bottles 5 of them per day. Helps me lose alot of weight. Good luck to you. I am new too. I just started l 5 days ago on fitness pal , but have been dieting for 3 weeks now. I've lost 8lbs total in the 3 weeks. Most of my weight loss has been this week 3lbs in one week :)

    1 pound per week is reasonable now, but it gets harder to lose as you get closer to your goal. Toward the end you should expect .5 pounds per week.

    If you stick to it, one could pretty much guarantee that you will be closer to your goal than you are right now, but definitely doable. :)
