Is losing .5/week an unreasonable goal for me currently?
I'm not overweight but would like to lose another 15-20 lbs, I'm prepared for it to come off slowly and am giving myself all of next year to do it. I'm 5'5.5" and 141 currently, hoping to end up around 120-125. Is .5/ week a lot at this point with only that much to lose or is that a pretty reasonable expectation?

Sounds…
