Am I setting a realistic weight loss goal?
Hello all! I'm 22 yrs old and I'm 5'4". I currently weigh 265 lbs and I'm hoping to be down to 230lbs by June 1st which would be 10lbs per month. Is this a realistic goal? I know I need to adjust my calories for every 10lbs and I'm going to be working out 5 days a week so hopefully I can pull it off. What do y'all think?
