Is this a reasonable goal?

I'm 18 years old, 4'7'' feet tall and 146.5 pounds.
I've been trying to walk anywhere from 2-6 miles a day. I did 5-6 miles a day before my legs decided they didn't want to carry me for such distances anymore. I want to get down to 125 by September or at least lose a few inches off of my stomach. I don't know my exact measurements, though.

I started this exercise routine about a month ago and besides the number on the scale, I'm not noticing much difference when I look in the mirror. This causes lack of motivation, which I have plenty of lately.

I'm not sure what help I am looking for exactly. I am currently staying with my mother and am unemployed, and she doesn't buy healthy at all. There's nothing else here so I eat what's available, in moderation. However it makes me hate myself afterwards.

Is there anything I can do to help kick start motivation again? Any recommended exercise routines?

    Shoot for the end of September, and I think 20lbs is very do-able.

    Your diet is going to play a big role in this. Somehow you are going to have to clean it up. Make a solid effort to track your calories, that makes a big difference, if you can.


    Don't get discouraged at your height it is going to look like it takes more weight loss to look like you are losing weight, than if you were tall.

    Even if you can't change your diet, if you exercise YOU WILL lose fat. GOOD LUCK!
