I've lost 2 stone in 14 weeks - is this good?

Because right now, it feels like a bit of a slog tbh.

I was feeling like it was pretty good but my friend said to me that it was actually quite slow. And I've still got another stone and a bit to go 🤨

Motivation needed probably!

its good! It’s healthy! They say to lose 1-2 pounds a week so you have averaged out around 2 pound a week. Well done! Be proud of yourself. X

HappyGoDucky · 28/06/2022 17:47

It's spot on OP, 2lb a week. We'll done you can do it!

ComDummings · 28/06/2022 17:48

That is 2lb a week so pretty fast! Well done. Your friend sounds like a bit of a knob bringing you down to be honest.

JuneJubilee · 28/06/2022 17:48

Your 'friend' is a massive twat!!

two stone in 14 weeks is brilliant!!

well done. Another few weeks & you'll be there, but don't expect the last stone to go as quickly as the first two.

ditch 10 stone fast!! (The bitchy 'friend')

This is a healthy rate at which to lose. Don't let people sabotage your journey

That’s great. Your weight loss might slow down but as long as it’s going in the right direction it doesn’t matter.

Wellthatsjustswell · 28/06/2022 17:52

Your friend is an arse!

Well done you! 🎉

ilovetomatoes · 28/06/2022 17:52

Is your friend jealous of your progress? Well done on the weight loss

pastabest · 28/06/2022 17:54

It's perfect. It gives your body the chance to adjust to each small loss rather than trying to pile it all back on again.

It's a really sustainable way to lose weight and you have a far better chance of keeping it off afterwards too.

I would be really chuffed if I lost 2 stone in the same amount of time!

Roussette · 28/06/2022 17:54

Keep going!

I lost 3 stone in 9 months and of my, I feel so much better for it.

I varied between 1 and 2 lbs a week. Hard work but so so so worth it.

MrsPicklePie · 28/06/2022 17:54

I don't think she's jealous, no. She just said it seemed to be taking me ages!

And it does feel like a long time - mainly because this time I've done it the old fashioned way. Diet and exercise basically.

Just imagine if you hadn't done anything at all. We'd still be 14 weeks down the road but you'd be two stone heavier!
But anyway 2 stones in 14 weeks is really really good going. Well done!

MrsPicklePie · 28/06/2022 17:58

@Jmaho this is it, yes. The time goes by regardless and I'd just had enough of being 3 stone overweight

ehb102 · 28/06/2022 17:59

I've never managed a better rate of healthy weight loss. Well done!

Sounds like you have a frenemy btw

JonSnowedUnder · 28/06/2022 18:02

Surely consistent weight loss is the goal. Your approach is obviously working for you so don't let her derail you.

If you'd asked yourself 3 months ago would you be happy losing 2 stone what would you say?

Bunce1 · 28/06/2022 18:04

Your mate sounds like a bit of a sick TBH

Bunce1 · 28/06/2022 18:04

*dick

Daysofroses · 28/06/2022 18:13

I think that's fantastic OP!! Well done. I'd be thrilled if I can say that in 14 weeks.

mdinbc · 28/06/2022 18:16

I think you're doing great! It sounds like a healthy rate to lose weight. Carry on and I hope you reach your goal.

IfYouOnlyKnew · 28/06/2022 18:23

You’ve done brilliantly! Sounds like you have done it in a healthy and sustainable way as well, which means it’ll stay off. Keep going, well done!

LadyEloise1 · 28/06/2022 18:24

It's fantastic @MrsPicklePie Flowers
How did you do it ?

gingersplodgecat · 28/06/2022 18:28

That is brilliant, congratulations.

Littlebirdyouaresosweet · 28/06/2022 18:29

Share some tips then op!!

EarringsandLipstick · 28/06/2022 18:30

You're amazing OP 💪

MrsVeryTired · 28/06/2022 18:31

Agree that's "frenemy" territory
Well done, to make yourself more aware find something that's 2 stone and lift it, its a serious amount!
