    Did I read this correctly?
    You want to lose over 15# in 1 month? (144.4-129).
    I find that extremely aggressive for someone not morbidly obese.

    What's your daily calories?
    Unless you're exercising like crazy and eating under 1000 calories, I don't know how you can lose that much in such a short time.

    Sorry if I sound so negative, but I want people do lose weight the healthy way, and hopefully for long-term, not just crash-dieting.

    Maybe I’m overreaching. I just put a goal of 5 lbs lost every 10 days. Maybe it will take me longer than a month.
    I’m eating healthy and working out.

    144.8 lbs.

    So I think I will try to lose 5 lbs in a month since my plan isn’t working.

    Going to an oa meeting tonight. Hopefully that helps.

    I think it depends how much weight you have to lose it could be realistic. I have approx 26 pounds to lose and have a target of a pound a week. I just started, so I expect to lose more than a pound per week for the first weeks, but then I know I'll slow down.

    Female, 5’4”, 25 yo
    HW 176 lbs (31.12.2017)
    SW 162 lbs (31.7.2018)
    159 lbs (23.8.2018)
    158.5 lbs (6.9.2018)

    GW 143 lbs (31.12.2018)

    Down half a pound in two weeks... I’m pretty sure that I’ve gained some muscle during the period though, because I can see a difference in the weekly photos.

    Trying to look at the bigger picture even if the scale isn’t moving more- but I’ll admit that it’s still rather frustrating. I’m sure some of you can relate to the feeling.

    8/30/18 161 (- 2lbs in 1 week)

    The past few weeks has been full of birthday celebrations. That means cake-- my biggest weakness. Not beating myself up though. Been trying to only eat cake when there are birthday parties.
