Do you think it’s doable for me to lose 6% of my body fat in 6 weeks?

I’m doing a 6 week challenge and my goal wasn’t necessarily weight loss but muscle gain and lowering my body fat instead. Do you think it’s possible to lose 1% of my body fat per week?

Currently 136 lbs and I’m 5’3 21F

@evanea Depends on your numbers, but I wouldn't get your expectations up. 6% on us shorties is a lot

@laughter Especially as a woman

@evanea I think it’ll be hard… I think a healthy amount is 2% body fat per month from what I’ve read.

 

[spero]

@mamartinezzx This is the realistic number if you are being very strict with excercise and diet

@evanea Depends where you’re starting. I’m already low body fat so for me, this would be absolutely impossible.

@evanea Not really, no.
