Although, I lost 25 pounds in my first two months of dieting, I think 30 is possible with a lot of hard work and dedication to the plan. Now, I'm pretty much consistent with 10 lbs a month. I did 1200 cals a day, no eating after 5, plenty of water and lots of exercise. I started with 4 days a week and built up intensity and more days as each week passed. Now, I'm doing 6 days a week for 1.5 - 3 hours and my calories usually are not over 1300. Welcome to the forum and good luck with your goal!! yes, keep us posted
