| I have 45 to lose and would like 10 of them gone by Christmas as a Christmas present to myself. Doable? |

| One pound a week is reasonable being that amount over. Five. |

| Darn. I should have started my diet earlier I guess. |

| I think you can easily lose 10 before Christmas. Getting moving, cut out sugar and bad carbs. |

| Two a week healthily if you eat "clean" and sweat six days a week. |

| You can lose 10 lbs it’s a little over 4 weeks. I am aiming for 7-8 lbs in 3 weeks. If I cut all sugar and white carbs, I know I can do it and you can too!! |

| I agree with 10. If you avoid overly processed foods, you can definitely lose at least 1 per week, and if you add in exercise, you can lose even more. I always ate terribly but exercised, but when I worked on my diet, the weight came off quickly! |

| Yes, you can lose 10 by Christmas if you have 40 to lose overall. Lean meats, veggies, and drink lots of water. |

| Why didn’t you start earlier? |

| Why did you gain 45 pounds you didn’t need? |

| I think this also depends on your age. If you are in your 20's, sure, simple, but in your 40's, this might be hard unless you drastically cut calories. |

| Rethink your Christmas plans and maybe you would be the perfect choice to dress up as Santa |

| What is your current weight? |

This matters a lot. Losing the last 10 pounds would be impossible in a month. The first 10 pounds out of a larger shed (like you posted) is probably possible but only if you really do have that much to drop. |

| This depends on so many factors! The *best* way to lose weight is 1-2 lbs per week, tops! |
