if you start now with hard work you can lose a lot. but not that much but you can keep it up and you can lose more a little after school starts too. you8r first week you can lose a lot of weight because it's water weight, but after that- to be healthy try not to lose more then 3lbs a week. which is a lot! but really- just start now and do it no matter your deadline lose a bit of weight and keep going, because you're going to stay the same as you are if you8 don't start. and besides, it won't matter how long it took once you get there and are lookin' good~!!!!
