    I don't set myself timed goals, but I'd like to be 170 something lbs starting next year. I'm now at around 186lbs.

    Unless one is very obese, a stone by Christmas is not a healthy or sustainable goal. December 25th is less than 6 weeks away and would require losing more than two pounds a week. Losing more than two pounds a week would require you to eat almost 1200 calories under your TDEE. So if you are a woman you would need to have a TDEE of 2400 calories to begin with, and then eat only 1200 calories. Most people under 200 pounds have a very difficult time eating any where near 50% of their TDEE. And eating below 1200 calories for a female or 1500 for a male can have serious health consequences.
    Agreed!

    At the time she made the post, Christmas was 7 full weeks away... that's a 2 lb per week loss. You'd have to be pretty disciplined, but it's definitely healthy and sustainable.

    Considering the OP only has 13 pounds until she reaches her goal, a 2lb/week loss is pretty aggressive and is likely not achievable, healthy, or sustainable.

    I didn't realize she was so close to her goal weight. That changes things a bit :)
