I'm like you now - losing inches from the activity, but I must be making muscle because the weight isn't dropping. Dang scale! But it's the clothes that tell a better story of success!
We can DO this, my friend!

you will not likely do 20 in a month and do it healthy. but maybe 10 but more like 50 -

Yes I am in 20 lbs by new years. Let's do it.0

to all new people 20 pounds in a month is not healthy unless you are just starting out then a lot will be water weight 10 or even 5 is a better goal0

If one hasn't lost at least 15lbs since September (haven't seen a lot that wanted to still responding) then hitting 20lbs by the end of the month isn't likely.
Understand it's great to have goals, but the goals need to be reasonable. Sure it's great to lose a lot of weight in short period of time, but people that do it that way went through extreme calorie deficits and aren't likely to sustain even close to that type of eating for LIFE.

I have been stuck here 10 days now. Really watching my CICO but the scale still has 1.4 to get to 20 pounds lost. I am thankful NY is still a month away. Lost some inches in this 10 days, though, so I am celebrating that. The scale frustrates me!
I know how you feel, I have lost nothing for about 4 weeks but have gone down half a dress size!! We must remember that the scale is not the only thing to think about although sometimes its hard!!!0 -

do not try 20 in a month 10 maybe0 -
Late to it, but here are my stats:
Weight as of September 1st- 161 lbs.
Weight as of today (Oct 23)- 152 lbs
Desired weight by New Years-142
Well, I have been hovering around 149 for several weeks so I do not think I am going to make my goal, which is okay. My loss rate has slowed significantly as I am nearing my goal, plus I lift weights, so NSVs are becoming more and more important as I am more in a recomp phase right now. I think my revised goal for January 1st is 146.0 -

This thread was started September 1st. That gave people 4 months to lose 20 pounds, which is a pretty healthy and attainable goal. One month is not. If I were you, I would shoot for 5 pounds between now and New Years.0 -

Just keep plugging away, Liz. The weights really change the scale loss but I am finding they add so much to inches lost which is really my goal.
You still have 26 days. A lot can happen in that time! You may end up closer to you desired 142 than you estimate!

As of today, I have .6 pound to my goal for New Year: 155.
I think my body is pretty much done losing weight and I am going to have to forget my final goal weight of 145. I mostly need recomposition.
Now to figure out how to eat and workout to accomplish that!0 -
