12kg in 18 weeks?

My goal is to lose 12kg in 18 weeks, do by mid December (beginning of Summer).
Is this possible?
It seems like a lot, but then it also does seem really quite doable. What are your thoughts?
My main plan is to get into the gym 3 times a week and cut down on carbs as those two are the ones making me overweight.
I don't eat junk food, so bread/carbs and not enough exercise are definite body killers.
Opinions or advice?
Thanks! x

Yeah it's possible. I've seen people lose 20kg in that amount of time.
But it's not easy. You really need to be going to gym a lot more to lose weight that quickly and have a rather high deficit indeed, some 10,500 calories a week.0 -
Hit the gym 5 or 6 days a week doing both cardio and strength training!!!
Work your butt off and you will make it!!!0 -

she wan't to lose 12 kg in 18 weejs not 18 kg in 12 weeks.
def posible, set up mfp for 2 lbs per week, eat back you exercise kcals. this way you should lose almost a kg per week. it will leave some room for errors0 -
Yes it is possible! I did pretty much what you plan on doing. I cut down on carbs and sweets and worked out 4-5 times a week. I managed to lose 14kgs in around 19 weeks. So yes you can do it as well. Good luck0

Ok firstly I don't have my contacts in. So I thought that said 8.
And yes, I have seen people lose 20kg in 8 weeks so if it is indeed 12kg in 8 weeks as you and the thread title seem to suggest, then yes it would be possible.0
