A goal of 2 pounds a week is healthy for an adult, not a teen. A teen should aim more for a goal of 1 pound a week.

I wouldn't try to make a goal that harsh. I think two pounds a week is a reasonable goal. I want to lose 30 - 40 pounds in six months. That is about 4 - 6 pounds a month. I think that is a good goal. By my prom next june abdI want to be 140 pounds. I weigh 211. I wouldn't try to make a goal with the chance of feeling like you fail if it doesn't work out that way.

Those are not healthy or realistic goals! A healthy rate of weight loss for a teen is 1 pound a week on average. It is not safe to set such unrealistic and unhealthy goals, so please do not try to lose that much in that amount of time. Your body is growing and developing and you need to also keep that in mind.

Instead of focusing so much on the number on the scale, try focusing more on setting healthy goals and healthy habits for yourself and you will see results.

I would recommend that you take a look at the following articles:

Good luck. I have similiar goals. Make sure you're being realistic with your time frame though. That's a lot of weight rather quickly.
