In about 15 months, I went from 34% to 18%. I did it the healthy way, through diet and exercise, but it took a TON of exercise. And I was pretty muscular to start with so I ended up losing about 40 pounds of fat. The first 5% or so should come off fairly quickly if you work at it--IMHO, I would think 2-3 months would be a good goal time for 5%.0

You do not have much to lose, so to keep it off and be consistent, stick with 1 pound per week - that is the healthest way to do and you will not feel like you are starving yourself - this site sets you up with caloric intake for 1 pound per week - if it is not working for you, you can always change it.
Remember, you will lose a couple of pounds fast, though - that is ONLY water weight and will come back on quick if you are not consistent!0
