    anything more than 2 lbs a week is unrealistic and for many people, even 2 lbs a week is highly unlikely....

    The math makes sense, trying to lose 4lbs or even 3lbs a week til Xmas doesn't. 2lbs is probably a stretch.

    I've figured out that if I lose 2lb a week I'll be pre baby weight by Christmas :)

    2 lb a week isreally hard to do. You're more likely to cheat or give up. You'll be better served with a realistic goal like 1lb aweek.

    That's a lot of Christmas candy to gain that much in 17 weeks.

    This will be my first year of having to control myself during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I've already done a good deal of the work I need to do as far as weight loss. I just don't want to relapse on pumpkin pie.
