Is this healthy...?

Well I am no doc but I would say that you cal intake is too low. People at my gym have been averaging 10 pounds a month, so you could come close if you do it right...by that I mean the Healthy way. What does MFP put you at as far as your cal intake?

Wishing you luck!

ok you are eating way too little. At least 1200 calories a day, especially since you're exercising. Also, you're already at a healthy weight for your height, so losing 25 lbs in 2 months isn't very realistic or doable. In other words, it's a very unattainable goal. That's 12.5 lbs per month, which is a little over 3 pounds per week. Eating 900 calories a day may get you that goal - but you're not going to lose just fat - you're going to lose a lot of valuable muscle weight as your body starves itself. Starving yourself might also trigger yourself into binging large amounts of food because your body is so hungry, which is counteractive to your goal.

So no, to answer your question, it's not really healthy. Perhaps setting a more realistic goal like losing 15-20 lbs is more doable. Upping your calories and making sure you're getting nutrient dense food from the four food groups - vegetables and fruit, lean meat or alternatives (if you're vegetarian), milk or alternatives, and whole grains (make sure it's whole grains products filled with lots of fibre). Also drink lots of water - at least 2 litres/64 oz a day.

Eating healthy and then exercising may not earn you the 25 pound loss you want in 2 months, but you will be eating healthy, have more energy, and most likely lose some of the weight you want

absolutely not! You will pass out trying to work out and live on 900 calories per day.

Any reason you're trying to weigh 108 lbs at 5'3 specifically? Are you keeping body composition in mind? Muscle mass?

And no, that's not healthy. Too few calories, and that weight loss is too rapid.

Agreed and Agreed. No matter how good we look, we always think we could be just a little bit thinner. It sounds to me that you may be heading toward the harmful weightloss. You will come to a point where your body will say NO MORE cutting. That is when you should stop. Check your BMI and see what it says. I'm betting that your target weight will be severely underweight. I hope you are not discouraged, keep your head up and if anything consult with a trainer or nutritionalist and always your doctor.

You may be able to reach your target, but once you go back to eating healthfully (900 way too little for body functions to keep operating optimally) you will gain it all back and more!!! Our bodies are designed to protect us in famine conditions by conserving fat. If you cut back that much your body may conserve and your metabolism will slow way down. Also, 900 calories will not keep up your existing muscle mass and this also contributes to a slowed metabolism....which all means in long run less calories burned. As a side note, weight is not always the best indicator of health...muscle weighs more and looks better than fat. Check out your body fat percentage and try to decrease that instead of focusing on what may be a very unrealistic weight goal. I think your calorie target should be something more like 1200 and more if your exercising.

^^^^^ What they said ^^^^^^

Something I've noticed in the MFP community - and someone tell me if this is wrong but:

If you have to ask if something's healthy...then it probably isn't

Eat healthy, get some exercise and you'll be amazed what you CAN accomplish

there is no reason for you lose lose 25 pounds. you don't have that much extraneous weight, really don't try to lose what you don't have. you'll regret it.
