I think you should be able to. Most people reckon 1 to 2 pounds loss per week is a reasonable goal, so 7 lbs in two months should be do-able.

Lower your sugar intake(sodas..etc)drink plenty of water instead,lower your carb intake as well.I lost 47 lbs in 7 months doing just that.

You could get that off really fast. but 126 isnt big. But i understand wanting to be where you were..eat healthy, drink tons of water, at first youll gain water weight but its just water and it will go away in a few weeks.

It's easier to gain weight than to lose weight, but seven pounds in two months is no problem.

Your body can actually lose weight faster than gaining it... Your body constantly rids itself of the food and drink taken in through calorie absorption or putting it to use elsewhere in your body... Only a small amount can become true fat, not to mention most of the weight of the food and drink leaves your body in one way or another... Losing weight may be harder, but it is done faster... Plus; muscle does indeed weigh more than fat and you have to remember that bones weigh something too (I believe in an average 6 foot tall male the bones weigh around 50 pounds, but I could be wrong)... Girls usually don't take into account that their breasts weigh something too... You're probably not overweight, so no worries... Hope this helps... :D

Okay I will say in answer to the common notion that "As a man what do I know about women?" but I will say in my defense that a while ago, a woman said to me "Your a man, what could you possibly know about breastfeeding?" twenty minutes later, I helped her give birth to a baby boy, 8 lbs ten to be exact. The problem you have, may well be simply because your a woman. Your hormones are changing within your body on a daily basis, which is quite normal. Most women's weight will show quite a few changes, quite often and this is mostly because the amount of water held within your body, that will change depending on some of your hormone levels. If you were to keep a record of the changes "I bet you that it will cycle around your menstral periods!" Many women just as they are coming towards a period will put on weight because of there hormones. While there may be minor changes in metabolism, food intake and cravings throughout the menstrual cycle in addition to possible water retention, this will not impact very much on weight loss success. Food cravings, overeating and weight gain are commonly reported during the one to two weeks before menstruation occurs. But what is the science to support these symptoms, and what is their impact on weight loss success? Food Intake and Metabolism While overeating is the popular perception, the research has shown that there are minor changes in actual food intake throughout the menstrual cycle. Most studies suggest an increase in eating of around 100 to 200 calories in the days before bleeding occurs, but this appears to be offset by the small rise in metabolism (around 5 to 10%) that occurs during the same time period. In other words, the body tends to adjust the calories in/calories out on its own. Therefore, in a weight stable state, no changes in weight will occur. However, if actively losing weight by following a restricted-calorie food plan, the likely result would be a slight (but hardly noticeable) increase in weight loss due to the increased metabolism without the usual increase in calories. Alternatively, the result instead could be a slightly greater difficulty in following the food plan because of increased hunger during that period. Food Cravings Although food cravings are commonly reported during certain times of the menstrual cycle, the scientific evidence on the subjects is limited. Some smaller studies suggest a link, particularly a craving for high carbohydrate sweets. These studies also show that cravings tend to occur more often in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and that the cravings increase as symptoms worsen. While more research is needed to understand food cravings, the good news is that they do not appear to translate into large increases in calorie intake and subsequent weight gain. Water Retention The most likely reason for a weight gain is water retention. While this is a common symptom that can be particularly discouraging when following a structured food plan, the weight gain is usually minor and temporary (that is, any weight that is gained is lost around the time of menstruation). Furthermore, water retention can be lessened during this time period by making small dietary changes, like reducing sodium and increasing fluids. Bottom Line: Major fluctuations in eating and weight gain during certain periods of the menstrual cycle are a common thing.
