Can I keep losing 1.5 a week?

Hello everyone. First time I've posted. I was just wondering if it is realistic to keep losing 1.5 a week for the rest of the year?
If I can do that I will reach my goal by the end of the year. (77 Lbs)
I am 5 feet tall, eating between 1200-1300 per day, Zumba 3 times a week, and walk 2.

    I would think you'd be pretty much at goal by the end of the year! Stay focussed... that is the secret! :wink:

    I don't see why not. Just stick to it, you'll get there.

    As you get smaller you will lose slower. I don't think you'll lose 1.5lbs every week... some may be slower ... some may be higher.

    As you lose weight you'll lose less and slower ... the only way to change this is changing your calories (which you are already really low) or increasing your exercise.

    Keep switching things up so you don't plateau.
