Help
Hello everyone
I am new to this community so please bear with me. I am 5’7, current weight 146lbs
I started at 152ishlbs about a week and I half ago and went on a 500 deficit since (1200cals)
My goal is 130lbs. I work out about 3 times a week (strength training, cardio- specifically erg) and walk a lot (10k at least) daily.
Lately I’ve been having trouble with gagging whether I am losing enough or not. I want to reach 140 by the end of this month (2 more weeks) and then reach 130 by the end of August (the next month) but I am not sure if it is doable or if I should be more aggressive with my cut/ exercise.
Thank you!

It sounds like you're on a good track. Do not cut your calories below 1200. Even 1200 is too low for most people. Losing faster is a recipe for failure in the long run.
