Took me 6 weeks to lose a stone

About 6 weeks to lose a stone for me last year.

I lost 1 stone in 7 or 8 weeks. First two weeks I lost 4 lbs then 3.5.
I am now averaging 0.5 per week.

I managed 1st in 4 weeks. Had a massive loss week 1 though and got my half stone. Slowing down a bit now

I've recently restarted slimming world but when I successfully did it in 2013 (before having 5 more children and gaining loads of weight!) it took me 6 weeks to lose a stone. I averages about 2lb a week after that and when I was around a stone from goal weight I was losing roughly 1.5lb a week.

The first time it was 4 weeks BUT I lost 8.5lb in my first week. This time I had a 2lb loss in my first week so it will take 6-7 weeks.

I cant remember last time. My target was 3 stone but I intended on adding another stone to reach target.
It took me about 10 months to do the 3 stone then I stopped and maintained for a year. I'd just rejoined when covid hit and I couldn't do it. I put on over half a stone, 100 percent know why, I've rejoined recently on line and paid for a 12 week countdown, I want to loose 2 stone, that's the covid weight and abit more then I'll see how I feel (might reduce my target again). I'm 2 weeks in...7lb the first week, 1lb this week. I often have a big loss followed by a maintain or tiny loss then average at a 1.5 to 2lb weekly loss. So I'm hoping to do near on the 2 stone in 12 weeks. I think if you aim for 1 to two a week its realistic.
