Reasonable expectations

Question for all you out there. I am just getting back into tracking what I eat and exercising regularly. I am 31 and looking to drop approx 15 more lbs. I'm running 10-15km a week (going up every 2 weeks until it's at 25k) as well as doing a daily routine of push-ups, sit-ups, crunches and squats. Just curious what a reasonable expectation should be in terms of weight, and more importantly inches, lost. I know it won't happen over night just don't want to set expectations too high or too low

    The last 10-15 pounds are going to come off SLOW... Set your MFP settings to a half-pound per week. Religiously weigh and log all your food. Keep up the exercise. And put on your patient pants, cuz it's gonna take awhile.

    Good luck!

    Sadly this is what I figured would be the outcome. Don't suppose that it makes a difference that the last 10-15 is substantially all of the weight loss does it?
