Realistic goal?

Question

I am 5' 7" and 142 lbs. i want to lose weight by new years... what would be a realistic goal??

Answer 1

It depends how much you want to lose. I don't think you should try to lose more than 10 pounds. I think you could healthily (if that is even a word) lose 10 pounds by new years. Instead of eating 3 meals a day eat 6 or 7 but a lot smaller. For example a smoothie for meal one, meal two is a muffin. Know what i mean? Also start with a goal you know you can do for exercising so that you don't end up frusterated and give up. For example go to the gym 3 times a week for 30 mins. Increase the time and frequency you go per week. So the second week perhaps you go 3 times for 35 or 40 mins. Alrighty hope this helps. I know you can do it! Just don't lose too much....where you are now is a healthy weight! so is 10 pounds lighter! All the best!! :D

Answer 2

You could do it. It's not that hard, and New years is a times away.
Take up jogging, @ leat 30 mins per day.
Eat good, count calories in your foods if you can. Don't go above or below 1200 a day.
You should lose 1-2 lbs. a week w/ this plan, maybe even more,
Oh and I MUSTY inform you of this:
Buy some Raw organic Apple Cider Venigar (Bragg's- only 2.50 per bottle) and take 1tbsp in 8oz of water before each meal, and you will lose weight so fast along w/ a healhy diet and exercise.
The venigar eats away fat cells and they don't return.

Answer 3

About 125 IS realistic, but that would mean you would have to work REALLY hard. By that, I mean, watch your portion sizes, eat healthier foods, eat more veggies and fruits and whole grains, drink a LOT of water, and exercise at LEAST a half an hour each day. A more realistic goal if you don't want to work so hard would brobably be 135.

Hope I helped.

Good luck!!

Answer 4

Why do you want to lose weight?That's about normal weight for your height.
But if you would like to lose weight, even being at normal status, try running about 3 miles a day, it may seem like a lot, but it isn't. Or do what you think your body can handle.
Exercising isn't always the answer.

Answer 5

1- 2 pounds a week is what is healthy and losing slowly you will have a better chance of keeping it off

5'7", 142 lbs.
Your BMI score is: 22.2

A BMI score of 18.5 to 24.9 indicates you have a healthy body fat ratio. Remember to keep your healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising.
