I want to drop 20 kg in just two months before my sister's wedding. I'm currently weighing 78 kg, but I really want to be at least 60 kg. Is this an achievable goal? What kind of diet or exercise plan would you recommend to make this happen? I'm a bit worried about whether it's healthy to lose weight so quickly, and I'm unsure about the best way to go about it without compromising my health.

It's important to set realistic goals for healthy weight loss, aiming for about 0.51 kg per week. Losing 20 kg in 2 months may be too rapid, which could affect your health. I recommend a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consulting a nutritionist or doctor to guide you safely toward your goal.
