    This is helpful when shooting for a goal weight because it tells you if it's a) realistic and b) incorporates body fat % which is a critical measurement.

    Good luck!

    15 lbs is not far from goal. I'm the same height and remember being 143 (I started at 163ish though). You got this. Just maintain a moderate deficit, you'll feel great even once you lose the first couple pounds. I find that at our height, just getting into the 130s makes a big difference.

    I'm trying to lose 15lbs by October 2. I was able to get to my goal weight of 129 twice on my fitness pal but I've gained it back. I'm so mad at myself. Fitness is not a problem for me it's the sugar and stress eating. I'm 5'6" and now weigh 144!!!!
