20 pounds is a good starting point, especially since you apparently have 187 days left. Why did you decide you wanted to lose the weight? And why 20 lbs? (If you don't mind my asking.) I'm with Weight Watchers and the first goal is to lose 5% of your weight, then 10% and it really makes a difference even though it seems like a minuscule amount. You can actually feel the difference. It's interesting how the program works, too.
