I have a goal of losing about 13 kilos (or about 28 pounds) by March 2013, so about 4 months time. Is that an acceptable goal?

    This seems like a completely attainable goal to me. 30 pounds in five months. :)

    That really depends upon how much over weight you are now. If you are seriously obese a couple of pounds a week is reasonable. If you are only a little over weight then it may not be realistic or healthy.

    I think it's a bit fast.
    Really.
    how about aiming for a slower weight loss and getting a pleasant surprise if you manage to lose that fast.
    I have lost 11 kilos in just over 6 months
