QUESTION...if you could NOT fail, how much weight would you want to lose this year??

My goal, with no calendar date assigned to it, is to reach 160 and try to maintain there. I expect that if I continue to live in a calorie deficit, which for purposes of this discussion is the meaning of "NOT FAIL", I will reach 160 and be within my chosen range of maintenance by the end of calendar year 2017. It's no big deal if I do or I don't. I'm just living in a calorie deficit.

Presently, I'm (B) away from 160.

I'm almost at goal, so I'm down to my last 3-5 pounds before starting a slow, clean bulk.

E 32 down so far - on track for 52 this year

I originally interpreted "this year" as being the next 12 months not just to the end of 2017.
Before 2018 starts my answer would change to about 10 lbs would be nice.
I've never set a deadline on my loss so I don't consider it a failure if I don't lose a certain amount by Jan 1st though.

If I couldn't fail? Another 10-15 vanity pounds to see if it would affect running speed slightly or not.

Realistically though, I'm often lazy or loose in weighing my food every couple of weeks, so it won't be happening this year. I'm losing, but incredibly slowly. Aiming for next spring.

E.
I am going to lose the last 20-25lbs. I already lost 26 pounds this year so far with the slow approach. Since i'm giving myself 5 months by December 1st, I really have no excuses.
