    Hi Favourthegoat. I am new here too. I am currently 203.5 at 5 foot 4". Losing 15 lbs in a month is a bit extreme. One pound a week is most realistic. Good luck!

    Im Lisa, I'm a petite 5'2 woman who has lost 47 pounds in 4 1/2 months on my own.
    I was a runner/ dancer in shape my whole life until I got married and started my new career. In my blissful happiness I gained 62 pounds and was miserable. I decided to take my control back and my life. I have 18 more pounds to go. I do a balanced diet with a 1200 calorie a day deficit.
    Since I'm thinner now and I lost 47 lb my weight loss has slowed down to about 3 lb a week. It's OK! I keep going. Good luck on your journey towards health!
