I only intend on doing it in a healthy way. If I stick to my calories and exercise 4 times a week I can loose 1.3lb a week. POSITIVITY ONLY PLEASE!

I've never been 10 pounds from goal before, so I really don't know. 10 Lbs in a couple of months is totally realistic for someone who actually has a lot of weight to lose...not so much for someone who is just trying to lose some vanity Lbs that they probably don't need to lose anyway. She will not have the fat stores to sustain the requisite deficit to lose that fast without torching lean mass...you can only oxidize so much fat and she simply doesn't have the fat stores to mobilize. My guess is that there really isn't 10 Lbs to be lost and we're talking more about a body composition issue here...which unfortunately cannot be addressed crashing a diet...in fact, that will just make things worse. Carry on though...and good luck with all that.

I personally find it encouraging and more fun to set time/weight goals. I understand I may struggle or not loose as much as I have recently, but I'm going to try. After all, if no one try's- no one will succeed!
