I have 37 lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight for my height, but I am wondering how long it will take, is 6 months realistic?

Based on the healthy way to lose weight, which is recommended. If you lose 2 lbs a week; you could lose 37 lbs in roughly 5 months.0

This depends on how much weight you have to lose.0

2 pounds a week is certainly possible, and wouldn't really be considered unhealthy, but it might be better to set smaller goals first. For instance, if you strive to lose a pound a week at first, you can ease into some positive habits. Maybe say, "I'd like to lose 10 pounds by Easter." You may even lose more than that, but that is a goal you are sure to reach, and reaching goals is good for our motivation Then, once you've lost 10 pounds, you can set a new goal, such as "I'd like to lose 10 more pounds by the 4th of July." The weight loss might get a bit more difficult as you go, but don't give up! Remember, these are habits you want to maintain long-term anyway, not just for 6 months.
Best of luck!0 -

Aim for 37 weeks, might take longer if you get stuck in a plateau or have a week off. You might lose two pounds a week at the start and half a pound a week at the end.0

I went from 181 to 146 since mid august. So about 5 months to loose 35 pounds for me0

I like the 5lb a month loss..not too fast so I would say about 7 months to be on the safe side.0
