Hi everyone & happy new year.
So i'm 5"6 and 140lbs (10 stone) and i am looking to drop to around 118lbs by the start of June this year, so a loss of 22lbs needs to be done.
Can i do this? How easy is it to do this an has anyone else achieved this?
i have been given a 1200 a day calorie limit, i exercise 3-4 days per week and i treat myself to a naughty meal once a week.
i've always been quite a chubby person with some spare tyres on my body, i can't imagine myself being slim but i want it so bady.
thanks

its definetley do able and you've given yourself a good amount of time to do this in my opinion even at a lb a week you'd be able to hit your target! You do have to realise that sometimes the scale wont read what you'd like to see so take measurements a couple of lbs up or down shouldnt matter, i never saw myself as slimmer but then got into this eating right and now im down 59lbs and have gone down 4 dress sizes so good luck with your journey you can do this0

Ditto! But keep in mind that the last pounds are way harder than the first pounds, so be prepared to work! Good luck!0
