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.

    Hit the gym 5 or 6 days a week doing both cardio and strength training!!!

    Work your butt off and you will make it!!!

    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 errors

    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 luck :)

    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.
