    Sounds aggressive to me. 1-2 lbs per week is safe.

    I think it depends how big you are right now. It you only have 70 pounds to lose then that's a big challenge, and probably not to healthy. But if you were 600 pounds, then 70 might be doable. I hope that makes sense.

    That would be 14 pounds per month... I think that might be a little unrealistic... in 5 months i would aim to lose maybe 40 pounds (that is 8 pounds per month - 2 pounds per week) but even then, as you get closer to goal, it will get harder to lose...
