    It is very easily possible, especially as choosing a pound a week is a great option. I lost roughly 60 pounds last year alone, so I think you can do it too
    (also, hopefully you won't fall off the wagon for weeks at a time, like I did)

    *edit*
    Heck, since I am looking to lose about 40 more pounds myself, want to be motivational buddies this year?

    Yes, it's very possible. Just sick with your diet as close as possible and you can do it.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to clean up my diet more in the new year, eat more veggies and fruits, cut out sugary drinks, and hopefully work out 4-6 times a week. Good luck, it IS possible!

    Definitely! I lost 70 pounds in 2011 and hope to lose my next 70 in 2012. I think it is definitely possible.

    Yes stick with it..when I started in June my weight loss was very slow I didn't even think I'd make it to 11 stone for Xmas day (a 21lb loss) , but as I got going it got easier to exercise too for longer and the weight started coming off regularly and I actually made it to 10st 5 (145lbs) so a 30lb loss since Ihad started in June. I have under active thyroid too and mobility problems that restrict what I can do so had originally given myself until next June to get to under 147lbs (10st 7) which is the top end of healthy for my height.

    I'm now thinking I might make it 132lbs for my next birthday!..which would put me right in middle of my healthy range.

    I don't think it's that unrealistic! Good luck :)

    I'd really like to lose about 53lbs in 2012. I figured it wasn't that unrealistic as it would work out at approx 1lb a week.

    You certainly can! I lost over 50 pounds in 8 months in 2011!!! You just have to show restraint, work hard and splurge occasionally!!!

    I want to do something similar! and I'm hoping its possible- and by the comments it certainly looks it.
    I am 5.8, and 187lbs.

    I'd be happy to buddy up too, (and like someone else mentioned, by anyone too!).
