Absolutely! It is safe and healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week through diet and exercise so 20 pounds in six months is very reasonable. As we all know, losing weight is much harder than putting it on so it will take a lot of hard work and consistancy to achieve your goal. Might want to consult a doctor for advice on best plan of action. Good luck!

It probably isn't recommended to lose that much weight in such a short amount of time... i would suggest five pounds a month as opposed to ten... however, i suppose it could be done with a balanced diet and constant cardio and weight lifting workout routines, swimming and jogging... no fast foods or things with starch, no bread or fried foods, keep dairy to a minimum.

Depending on your current weight, you can lose up to 40 pounds in 3 weeks by going on a water fast. if you believe you can, then yo can. all you have to do is work hard at it, and you will be able to do anything.

You need to go on a detox diet for more information read this article http://searchwarp.com/swa383591.htm

A normal weight loss regime should be around 2lb a week. Therefore I would say that 26lb is a reasonable amount to lose if you keep at it. If you are really dedicated and quite severe on your exercise, I think you should be able to increase this loss to 40lb. 80lb is aiming a little high.
