4 stone, slimming world, took a year.

I still have 2.5 to lose but I've hit a bump in the road and maintained for the last 4-5 months instead of losing. I've stopped putting as much effort in and I really need to get back into it and finish the job.

2 stone

8 months

Plant based diet, significantly reduced alcohol, lots of yoga. I don't count calories or anything like that. I am maintaining quite easily and happily at the moment.

19 lbs over 12 weeks with Slimming World, still a way to go, but tablets I take do promote weight gain, so at times its a struggle but worth it.

3 stone
1 year
Calorie counting app and I got a Fitbit to make sure I’m walking enough every day. Also do HIIT workouts and Zumba workouts on YouTube at home

Overall - 7 stone over 10 years

Last chunk of it: 4 stone, took 17 months with Slimming World.

Kept it off until pregnancy (18 months). Now 37 weeks and gained it back but know it'll come off again next year.

7 stone
18 months
calorie counting / slimming world
maintained for 10 months now trying to lose final stone by doing 16/8 which I wished i'd found years ago as so far i'm finding it easy

3st, most of which I lost in just under a year, the last 8lbs took forever! (Well, an additional 6 months, so almost a year and a half in total) I used WW, which worked well for me and gave me a healthy eating template for life. I also used it to lose the 18lbs I'd packed on during pregnancy and again, worked well. The last few lbs are always a slog for me. I up my exercise a little but I'm so busy it's hard to get meaningful exercise, but I walk whenever I can and run/yoga if I get time. Good luck!

Geekster1963 · 30/11/2018 16:15

Lost three stones,
Did it through Slimming world,
Took about 2 years (I never stuck rigidly to it).

Also I took up running using the couch to 5k.

I’ve not been to or followed Slimming world for over two years now and I’ve kept the weight off.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 30/11/2018 16:20

7.5 stone
A year

Cutting out everything I like and making the gym be a big part of my life.

RaspberryRipple1963 · 30/11/2018 17:00
  1. 3 stone 4 lbs (46 lbs).
  2. 6 months exactly.
  3. Stopped eating cakes,sweets and biscuits,plus tried to keep below 1800 calories per day. I know that sounds like a lot to expect to lose weight on,but I have a lot to lose (nearly 10 stone in total,so still got another 6 and half to go) but after working out my basic metabolic rate,I figured that I should still lose a small amount of weight per week on that amount. And I have. OK,there have been a couple of occasions when I've lost nothing,but the rest of the time it's been between 1 and 3 pounds per week.

Shedders What is 16/8?

LisaLops · 30/11/2018 17:33

8 and a half stone so far since January this year. Gone from a size 26 to a 16. Still want to lose some more and get down to a 12. I walked everywhere. Do my 10,000 steps a day and workout dvds. Plus limiting myself to 1200 calories a day. I did make myself ill 2 months ago though and my gallbladder function was completely messed up due to rapid weight loss. It’s been taken out now...

8 weeks, 2 stone, Blood Sugar Diet.

LeukaeLucky · 30/11/2018 19:14

I used myfitness pal. For me it was an eye opening experience as I realised how many calories was my "small" bowl of pasta or my tiny salad with olive oil and it helped to make changes. I also tried ww online and really liked it. Lost probably 4/5 kilos with each in 5/6 months. I was really looking for a life change more than an actual diet and that's what those 2 apps did for me. Now I need to put on weight and really struggle but that's a whole different story

Shedders · 01/12/2018 09:40

Hi. It’s when u only eat for 8 hours of the day and nothing for the other 16
