my weight now is: 168 pounds
going for 138 pounds by 17.7.2013 and then lose 5 pounds on the last five weeks
which will be 133 pounds by 21.8.2013 as thats my goal weight want to maintain that weight foreverrr :')

Sorry, but unless you plan on eating 1200 cals for the rest of your life, I would not do this.
While losing weight is as simple as cals in, cals out.. our bodies are not always cooperative.
Please go to this link:
http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/
Fill everything out and set yourself as Moderate Activity, and lose fat at 20%
Then scroll down and eat what it tells you that you need to reach your goal.0 -

in theory you can lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks if you set your calorie goal at "2 pounds per week" - but I think 1 lb a week is safer and saner. You didn't gain 10 pounds in 5 weeks - so it should come off slowly if you want it to stay off.
The other point to consider is that every human body is different - you may lose 3 pounds one week, nothing the next 2 weeks, but lose inches instead. Or, you might stay at a plateau for a long time, then drop several pounds in a few days. There are no guarantees!
Body measurement is a much better way to track your acheivement - this forum is full of people who have lost clothing sizes and inches, while seeing the scale remain the same
Wishing you every success as you change your life :-)0
