Is this a reasonable weight loss goal?

Hey pals. :)
So tomorrow is the start of a new month. And I'm really motivated right now and super excited to start shedding pounds.
My goal is to lose 8 pounds by June 30th. So it would be like 2 pounds a week.
THEN, my next goal is to lose 6 more pounds by July 22nd, which is my bday.. and my friend's quinceanera is the next day, July 23 (which I will be participating in and really wanna look good in my "dama's" dress.)
Sooooo in total, I will be aiming to lose 14 pounds in about 52 days ( the healthy way, of course.).
Do you think this is possible, and reasonable enough?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
:)

    It really depends on what your starting weight is. If you've got a lot to lose, it can come off really quickly. If you're close to a healthy weight, it's going to take longer most likely.

    I'm at 144 right now, and would like to get to 130. But maybe I'll just aim for like 135 or so. Thanks :)

    I agree...it really depends on how small you are already. Bigger people can easily lose 2lbs a week, but for smaller people, even flawless diet & exercise might only lead to a 1lb/week loss (if you're doing the healthy way and not eating less than 1200cals/day). What's your current weight?

    At your weight that may be a bit ambitious, but if you eat a healthy amount of good food (1200 net cals min) and do some regular exercise, you should lose enough to have you feeling great by your birthday :)

    I'm at 144, so yeah I think it might be a little harder... but I will definitely try! :D
