Realistic Goal?

[AnastasiaQS]

Hi Everyone!

I am going to a wedding on May 20th and I would really like to attempt to meet my goal by this time. I am currently about 170 pounds. My ultimate goal is 135 pounds. This is 35 pounds in about 5 months. Is this realistic or am I setting myself up to just be frustrated?

Well, that's about 7 pounds a month, or just a little less than 2 pounds per week. I think it's definitely possible, just don't over work yourself

1 percent of your total weight is a reasonable goal to shoot for, but keep in mind that even if you do everything "correct" all the time - there are weeks where you won't lose anything - especially the closer you get to your goal weight -or the scale might go up.

Don't obsess over a number on the scale - go by how your clothes fit, what you're seeing, how you're feeling...
