    Yes! This equates to about 2 pounds a week, which is a healthy rate and attainable. I lost 60 lbs between November 2011 and May 2012, so I am living proof that this goal is not too crazy!

    Unless you're well over 200lbs, it could be tough 3 months in at 2lbs a week. 1% of your body weight is what you should strive for per week.

    If you are dedicated to the regiment and push yourself to go just a little bit more each time (even if it's a single extra squat or jumping jack or bicep curl), then you can definitely do it. Don't ever see the goal line as a distance away; train yourself to see it as being a little bit closer each time. :heart:

    My aim is to lose 60 pounds by Christmas, because then I'd be a healthy weight (just) for the holidays. Great to have a group of people aiming for the same thing!
