Hi - I have just started using MFP and also just started trying to lose weight and improve my health. Is there anyone who was/is about the same weight and height as me and can tell me if a goal of 1Kg (2lb) a week is realistic? I know it will become harder the smaller I get but do you think the first 1-2 months it would be a fair guess? Also how many cals did you eat a days?

I am near the same height as you, I was advised 2lbs a week is a good goal for as the slower it comes off the longer it will stay off, I am also new to this, and looking to add friends so i can share progress, please feel free to add me,
I am from Scotland and doing this alone, it can be quite hard, but will get there in the long run, xx0 -

you should aim to lose 1 - 2 pounds a week. thats the healthy way so i think you got the right idea!0

1200 cal. a day is the lowest a female can go, and still expect to lose weight. Also, I believe it is possible, and that you can healthy.

It is possible...I was losing about 1kilo a week for a while. It's tough tough, you have to be strict with what you eat and maintain 1000cal/day deficit. Just don't go under 1200 in trying to do it. Good luck!0
