I’m 3 and a half stone over weight and would like to lose a stone a least before I go away in the summer, is this even do able? And any tips on the best way to achieve it gratefully received.
Thanks

Join a slimming club for the weekly weigh ins and support. I lost a stone and a half in around 10-11 weeks. I actually counted calories on an App to diet (not keen on Slimming World ethos) but the camaraderie of the club really helped. Being weighed kept me focused. Good luck!

Thank you, I’ll have a look what’s in my area, it’s reassuring to know it’s a realistic goal too.

I’m in the same position. I want to lose half a stone by 3 weeks time (sisters wedding) and then another stone by end of July.
I’m going to do a daily 16 hour fast (this worked really well in lockdown) and 10000 steps daily.

I might use Noom again too as this kept me on track previously

I lost 8lb in my first week on slimming world and then around 2lb a week thereafter. So I would say achievable- especially if you were to introduce a little exercise.

Fast 800 is great

It's really doable. I lost 3 stone in that time just by eating healthy balanced meals and getting all my steps in every day. No Gad diets or restricting.

I did a low carb high fat diet and lost a stone and a half in 6 weeks. Having tried a few different diets, this was the one that worked for me

I lost 2.5 stone in 6 weeks on Cambridge diet. Unfortunately it's not sustainable but works as a quick fix.

Can I ask which app you used?

Nutra check my friend has lost 7st since Oct.

My Fitness Pal was the App. Great for working out calories of recipes and meals. It's free if you don’t want the extras.

Fast800 works really well and you can lose a lot of weight quickly.
