    I'm sure it is Hun, it took me four months to lose 17lbs though, I’m sure if you are strict have no alcohol or take away you can but I still like to enjoy the odd glass of wine and restaurant. Good luck!!!

    Absolutely!! That works out to be 1.8 pounds a week for the next 11 weeks. You can totally do that!!!

    I think you can do it!! I was able to loose 22 lbs in a month, hard work and a complete change in diet & of course I do Zumba 5 days a week. I know if you set your mind & body to it you can accomplish anything. Good Luck :-)

    It can be depending on how hard you work and how much overall weight you have to lose.

    I've lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks, but I am still way above 200.

    Just work it and believe that you can do it!

    See it and achieve it!

    I've lost 14 pounds this month, so if I keep it up, I'll definitely be doing that. However, I've got close to 60 pounds to lose and have just started, so I know that this kind of rapid weight loss won't go on forever.

    However, this is what I have done different:

    *Lots more water! I'm still not drinking 8 full glasses a day, but I'm darn close most of the time!

    *I exercise at least an hour a day 6X a week. Right now I switch it up between bicycle rides and long walks with my dogs. And a day at the gym doing wore exercises and weights. But I never do under an hour, and closer to an hour and a half.

    * I eat between 1500 and 2000 calories a day, depending on whether I ride my bike (more calories) or walk (less), and I try and keep it healthy foods.
