    Pretty easily. For me that would equate to about 2lbs at 0.5lb/week.

    You don't have to lose a lot of weight to drop a couple % points in BF.

    Let's say someone is 180 Lbs and 12% BF...that person would have 21.6 Lbs of fat...if that person lost 4 Lbs of fat and now weighs 176 Lbs, they would be 10% BF. Dropping a couple % points in BF over a month isn't particularly hard.
