I started last April and passed 12 months later with just over 50 hours.
Weather and frequency is the major consideration. I was flying twice a week to start with which made a huge difference in terms of general handling and familiarisation. I managed to sneek the cross country in at the end of September and then didn't fly again for months due to the weather.
So, I'd suggest that you make sure you have the funds available upfront and that you start the training earlier in the year to allow you to make the most of the weather (obviously less relevant if you train in the States)
Best of luck....it's the best thing!!
