How long should it take to lose 2 and a half stone with exercise and diet ? Just a rough guide

Depends on the diet and exercise, surely. How many calories are you intending to eat/expend?

I think a lb of fat is around 3,500 calories, so if you want to lose 35lb, that's 122,500 over 75 days is a calorie deficit of 1,633 per day which is certainly doable.

I’ve lost that in 11 weeks, but obviously depends on the individual

2 to 3 months.

Thankyou for your replies, what did you do to lose that in 11 weeks ?

It depends how much you have to lose, the general rule of thumb is 1-2 lbs a week though.

I haven’t exercised I must admit so maybe it would have been quicker if I had. I have just reduced my calories to 1500
