Ht. 5'3, Wt. 180 - Heya everyone! I am 180 and I'd like to be 110 is that healthy? Is it possible to lose 70 pounds in 11 1/2 months (by next summer)? Will my skin be really saggy, if so how do I prevent that?

oh yeah, to answer your question, to lose 70 lbs in 11 1/2 months...50 weeks..you would have to lose 1 1/2 pounds a week on average... that is totally possible!!! Generally speaking, young people's skin is more elasticy (?) so it SHOULD shrink back, as long as you lose weight at a sensible pace. Good luck!! it will be hard work, but you can do it if you try really hard!!!

im also 5'3, and i want to get down to about 115. I think 110 should still be healthy, as long as you do it right.

since your 5'3, your lowest weight should be 115-120. If you got down to 110 though (while still eating 1500 calories a day etc.) its perfectly fine. Just don't beat yourself up if your like 125 and can't lose anymore. good luck =)
