I am currently 137 lbs and I would like to weigh 120 by end of July for our family cruise so I can fit back into my size 6 jeans.my question is this realistic goal for 4 months?

    That is just over 1 pound a week, so it sounds good to me. Good luck and have a great trip.

    You are down to the last lbs. 17 lbs in 4 months is over 1 lb a week which can be hard when you are so close to your goal. i have not been able to loose that much, i aim for about 1/2 lb a week. Give it a try and see how you are loosing. It is different for everyone.

    I think it's doable but I also think it's on the verge. Knowing that you are not heavy to begin with and are not looking to lose a ton of weight, 1 pound a week might even be pushing it. Not that it is something you can't do but I'd hate for you to get frustrated if you aren't seeing that 1 pound loss every week, ya know? If I were you, I would set my sights on losing 10-12 pounds with the hope that you lose it all by that time.

    I am not trying to be a downer at all, but just sort of realistic. I am sure you will get there but setting too high of a goal can backfire sometimes so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents out there as well. :) Good luck!

    I'll third that- you should be able to get close, but since you don't have a huge amount to lose, 1 pound per week probably isn't realistic. Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:
