Those of us that are overweight lose that in the first couple of days when we reduce our intake. At the very least, it should be a loss of 5 pounds for a sustained period of time. The other drawback is that first 5 are generally easy to lose and the second 5 are frustratingly difficult. It'd be better if we adjusted the weight target based on how overweight we are i.e. a percentage. Good luck with this year's resolutions!

A good goal is SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Rewarding, and Time-Bound. If all of us kept this in mind, we would do much better than the 17% success rate.
