So i really want to lose 20 lbs by my birthday. It's my first mini goal. Is that a reasonable amount of weight to lose in approx 5 months? (my birthday is October 26)

Assuming 20 pounds wouldn't make you skinny, sounds doable.0

That's about 1 lb a week, which is definitely doable. I lost about 40 lbs in that amount of time by watching my calories and exercising about 4 times a week.0

20 by October is very doable, 1 pound a week is good. Just put that as your goal and do the recomended calories. The program works.0

seems very very reachable. it's about 20 weeks from now. you can definetly lose on average a pound a week. some weeks you might not lose any, some you might lose a few.0
