Hello! First day of logging and I need some motivating people on here! I'm trying to lose 30lbs. I want to shot for 10lbs a month. Is this a realistic goal? Any tips? Help!

Took me 12 weeks to lose 22 lbs.
It's absolutely possible if you really want it.
Good luck girl!

The usual recommendation on here is 1 to 1.5 lbs per week. With a maximum of 2 lbs per week, 30 lbs would be 15 weeks. A month being roughly 4 weeks, you'd expect to lose around 8 lbs per week, but some weeks might not be the same.2 -
I won't say it isnt possible but who knows. I'm trying for 20lbs so we're n the same boat. Shoot for the stars! You got this1

With 30 pounds to lose you can realistically expect to lose 1 pound/week for now. As you get closer to goal, 0.5 pound/week. You may of course lose faster than that at first. This assumes you'll be eating a well-balanced diet, not overly restricting calories, and that you will eat back at least a portion of your exercise calories. Of course you can crash diet to lose 10 pounds/month, and gain it all back when you start eating again, but that isn't recommended.6

I lost 19lbs in 3 months. Just be sure you're logging accurately, not undereating and realize that healthy weight loss takes time!0

Ok thanks for the info! I'll try my hardest to do it the right way. If 10lb isnt reached I won't beat myself up over it!1
