    Absolutely! You just have to work your *kitten* off....I've lost 29.8 in 7 weeks, 10 a month is very doable, but don't get discouraged if you get a little behind, just use it to work harder :)

    Yes, and I'd insert some breaks for weight maintenance every so often and extend the time a few more months.

    it is doable. I seem to have hit a plateau but I think I am back on track as I have lost another pound and still seem to be on the downward trend. I think of it as an inverse of the stock market. There are going to be dips and rises, but I want the OVERALL trend to be going down.

    I think it ultimately comes down to your commitment level. While 70 lbs in 9'ish months isn't impossible, it also isn't going to be easy. If you completely change your lifestyle and bust your behind working out, then you have a chance at doing it. Otherwise I'd say your goals are a little high. Losing 10 lbs a month is going to be increasingly difficult when you get closer to your goal weight. If you live a normal life, losing a pound a week is a good goal. So if you lose 4lbs a month and 36lbs by September, I'd say that is a good starting point. Losing double that would take extreme commitment, which, if you are willing to do, go for it! I just don't want to see you get your hopes up for 10lbs in the first month and get discouraged so early in the process. Better to see how your body can shed the weight and adjust your goals based on a diet and exercise plan that you can maintain.
