Brittany's partying lifestyle catches up to her, but her doctor's recommendation to lose 55 pounds is a fair number. Her goal weight is 150, and she's not looking to lose the weight in a short amount of time; in fact, her doctor doesn't give her exact parameters for how long it should take her to lose the weight. As NASM-certified personal trainer Guychard Codio told us in a previous interview, trying to shed, for instance, 20 pounds in one month isn't a realistic goal because it's harder to sustain. You can healthily lose half a pound to two pounds a week, registered dietitian and ACSM-certified personal trainer Jim White previously told POPSUGAR. As she trains for the marathon and the seasons change, Brittany loses 10 pounds, then 30. In less than a year, Brittany isn't able to make it to her goal weight of 150, but she still looks at her 30-pound-plus weight loss as a success (as she should).
