Recently bought a Fitbook. Would like advice on realistic goals.

in Health and Weight Loss
Hello, everyone! First time posting. I've been on MFP for over a year now. I've gained between 15-20 pounds since this time last year, and I would like to lose those pounds, as well as tone up. I came across the Fitbit book, which is a 12-week plan to help achieve goals.

Is it realistic to lose 15 pounds in three months? In addition to the weight loss, I'd like to lose body fat. In fact, that's more important than the weight. Is it realistic to lose 5-7% body fat in 3 months?

Thanks for your advice!

    I think it’s doable. I started at 140lbs and lost 11lbs in 3 and a half weeks. I have no idea about fat loss though.

    Try not to lose hope if you don’t see lbs dropping off fast as first though. I tend to go relatively stable for a few days then a few lbs will drop off all in one go ^^

    Also remember- although exercise is great for health- the calorie deficit is the way to lose weight-
