Was 20 lb in 2.5 months too high of a goal??

I started MFP and fitness program around the 20th of Jan, and set a goal to have 20-21 lbs gone by March 30, when I'm going on a beach vacation. I am down 16 lbs but just a little bit disappointed because I don't see myself losing 4 more lbs in 8 days unless I do some crazy extreme diet.

Its slightly higher than you should aim for! But losing 16lbs is AMAZING!!! You have lost the recommended amount, so you have done it in totally the right way!

Well done! If you dont lose the last 4, dont worry or be upset.... you just lost 16lbs!!! WELL DONE!!!! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on your loss!! That's a great starting point!! A healthier goal would have been Max 2lb per week...which u surpassed! Enjoy your vacation!!!

Thanks! I guess if I can lose another 16 by June 1, I'm going to be close to where I want to be :-) I set a first goal of 21 lbs, and then after that will set more goals little by little
