in Health and Weight Loss
I started my weight loss journey at 215 lbs ... I got to 150 and maintained for several years. I'm back up to 170 and its reality check time.
Goal: 25 lbs by end of June ... Who's in? Feel free to add me as a friend.

    that's quite the goal...25lbs in 12 weeks.

    2lbs a week is not what I would call healthy.

    you didn't gain 25lbs in such a short time why lose it like that?

    It's a total of 14 weeks and 1.8 per week ... I don't think that's unreasonable... Even at 1.5 that's about 21 lbs.

    doesn't mean it's not unreasonable.

    If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal

    1.8lbs a week is doable but at what cost? muscle loss? thinning hair and nails? being hungry a lot? tired?

    I'm shooting for 30 lbs in 10 weeks. I have a lot to lose though (150-180 lbs) even though my goal right now is just 100. . . JUST 100 HA. I think that 3 lbs a week at my weight is doable and I believe that your goal is reasonable too! Great Luck!

    I have 12 more pounds to go and my goal is to be at 160 lbs by May 9th. I hope it is doable but not stressed if I don't make it. I still have my MFP set at 2 lbs loss per week.

    Hi-I'm rejoining MFP after a two plus year hiatus (and getting pregnant and having my second child, haha). I am looking to hopefully lose 30-40 by that date, but if I make 25 I will take it I suppose. So I will join! Personally I am debating getting the 21 day fix from a friend who is a BB coach, but also know it is gimmicky. She swears by it though. Just started doing t25 and light weight training. Now I just have to diligently log my food (always the hardest, most annoying part for me!). Would love the motivation of others!!!
