Hey anything is possible:big_smile:. However, a good rule of thumb is 1-2lbs per week if you want to keep it off for the long term. Now if you're just starting, you'll likely loose a bit more in the first couple of weeks, mostly water and then you should taper off to 1-2lbs/wk. 3 months is ~12weeks, so I'd say 12-24lbs. Try to look at it longer term and just change your lifestyle to eat healthy, eat enough, exercise and drink tons of water! That way you won't be doing the same thing this time next year:)

Good Luck!
