6-7 months to lose 140 lbs is 20-23 lbs per month or at best, 4.66 lbs per week

That's a tall order.

It would depend on a number of factors

1. Your starting weight

2. How much time you have available to devote yourself to this task

3. Finances - money always makes things easier

4. Your devotion to the task - This is going to suck, big time. Are you willing to eat nothing except veggies (the broccoli type, not the potato type), non-processed protein, fish oils, various supplements, lots of water, etc...

I know this may be discouraging, but it is possible. I had a 550+ lb client, who dropped down to 280 over the period of 2 years. It came off very fast at the start...very fast

Any advice you need, feel free to ask - advice is always free
