How to use

  1. Enter height, current weight and goal weight.
  2. See the steady and earliest safe dates.
  3. Optionally enter your own target date to check the pace it needs.

Good to know

Without a target date, the steady date assumes 0.5 kg a week, and the earliest date assumes the site's maximum safe pace: 1 kg a week for loss or 0.5 kg a week for gain.

With a target date, the needed pace = weight change ÷ weeks left, and the daily calorie change ≈ pace × 7,700 ÷ 7. If the date would need more than 1 kg a week of loss, it is marked too fast and the earliest safe date is shown instead.

Goals below a BMI of 18.5 for your height are not accepted. For a wedding, exam or event, starting early with a steady pace is easier to keep than a crash diet, and the weight is more likely to stay off.

Questions

Can I lose 10 kg in a month?

No, not safely. That is about 2.3 kg a week. At the 1 kg a week maximum it takes at least 10 weeks.

What is a realistic goal date?

At 0.5 kg a week: number of kg to lose × 2 weeks.

What daily calorie change does 0.5 kg a week need?

About 550 kcal a day, from eating less, moving more or both.

Why is my target date marked too fast?

It would need losing more than 1 kg a week, which this site does not recommend without medical supervision.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything is calculated on your device.
