Do you think it's possible if I stick to my guns (which I plan to do anyway) I can reach the 70s-kg by the time I go back to uni on Sept 10? I'm at 82kg on the dot right now (or was last time I weighed in on Monday).

    It's possible. Just don't be crushed if it doesn't happen! Good luck.

    ETA: I mean at least 79.9. IN the 70s.

    POSSIBLE!
    Stick with the careful eating and exercise moderately and you should be able to do it. The result may be delayed by a week or so if your hormones are not co-operative though...

    Its possible, I have lost that much in 2 1/2 weeks back when I started. I am at a steady 300 - 400 gram loss now, but I eat more.

    You bet it is possible! Two and a bit weeks ago I weighed 82.8kg. This morning I weighed in at 79.5kg. I stick stictly to 1200 calories a day, religiously walk 10,000 steps every day (I wear a pedometer to be certain I get all my steps by the end of the day), and I make sure I drink 8 glasses of water every day! If yoi really want to do it, you can... just take it one day, one step and pne meal at a time. All the best to you!

    Yes, it's totally possible! There won't be much wiggle room in your diary but you can definitely do it. That 80 is a big milestone, isn't it? Good luck :drinker:

    Very possible. The maximum fat a natural should aim to lose is 2lbs per week. In 2 1/2 weeks you should easily be able to lose 5lbs at a deficit of 1000 calories. So eating at a 500cal deficit and doing 500cals worth of cardio would be fine.

    Thank you so much for the advice, then! and yes, I agree - it'll be the least I've weighed since uni started so... Wish me luck (:
