    Definitely possible for some, but not all. They say at a healthy pace you should only lose 2 lbs a week at most though.

    Do you have a great deal of weight to lose? Then maybe.

    Pound per week goals
    75+ lbs set to lose 2 lb range
    Between 40 - 75 lbs set to lose 1.5 lb range
    Between 25-40 lbs set to lose 1 lb range
    Between 15-25 lbs set to lose 1 -.50 lb range
    Less than 15 lbs set to lose 0.5 lbs range

    Considering that if someone is just starting out that the first 5-7 lbs is all water weight, that leaves roughly 5-7 lbs of true fat loss. If someone has a lot of weight to lose, then yes 12 lbs is completely possible the first month or so. But that sort of loss won't last, it will eventually slow down.
