    Yes it is reachable if you work for it. I am aiming to reach 70kilos which is a 33lb loss before xmas and was told that it is totally achievable!\

    Yes you can very easily. Watch your sodium intake, once you get that under controll thats an easy 3-4 lbs for the average person. Count your calories and do alot of cardio, you will see the weight come right off. That is what I am doing. MFP says I will be down 22 lbs in 5 weeks with what I am doing now.

    Sure you can! You just have to remain really motivated between now and then - and you can do it! :)

    I started MfP on 5/26 w/ a goal to lose 20 lbs by Xmas. I lost it by the end of July. And I wasn't crazy dieting either.

    by Christmas - of course it's possible! That's only just over 1 pound a week!

    by October - I doubt it.

    It really depends on current weight and height. I've lost 18lbs in 5 weeks, but I'm morbidly obese.

    What is your current weight and height?

    You can do anything you set your mind to! Just don't lose it too fast because it'll definitely come right back to you. But 20 lbs by December isn't too shabby!! Good luck :)

    I would say so. I have lost almost 20lbs since June 1st and I only had 30lbs to lose total.

    Just eat right, exercise and keep your eye on the prize!!!
