Anyone lost 5 stone?

[MrsGiraffe12]

My BMI is far in the obese category and I would need to loose about 5 stone to get to BMI of about 22.

Realistically how long will it take to loose 5 stone?

Anyone done it?

Thanks x

Me!!

I did it in 6-7 months. It's still all off but could do with losing a bit more. It's been 2 years now

I did it with mumsnet

Biwi low carbing threads
C25k threads
Shred threads

Sorry, meant to add. I was 18 stone 4 to start and got to 13 stone 4. I'm roughly still there ( marathon training so my body has changed muscle wise)

I'm 6 feet tall. Want to get to 12 stone but any less end I know from experience I don't look good. Was dress size 18... Almost 20! And I'm now a 14, 12 sometimes on top

I have! (nearly)
Started at 17 stone 2 and I'm just under 6ft.
I'm now 12stone 8 and wanting to get to 12 stone by next month.
I started in October so its taken 5 and a bit months.
I did it with MyFitnessPal set to 1200 cals and couch to 5k and the shred. I genuinely haven't felt hungry, apart from the first few weeks. Drink lots of water!

Great. Thanks ladies. It seems such a huge mountain to climb but I want to do it. Am a bridesmaid in October and would Iove to lose the weight for then :-)

Was 15s 4lb in Sept 13, was 10s 4lb in Sept 14 :) I'm 5ft 4. Size 20 to size 10. I followed the Harcombe Diet. (LCHF).

I have lost over 8 stone. The first 6 1/2 took just under a year with SW, the next 18 months I gained a stone back on, but since the WW product test I have started losing again and my total is now 8 stone 3 pounds.

Gone from 19 stone 5 (size 24) to 11 stone 2 (size 14 with a few 12s)

I went from BMI 36 to BMI 19 in two years and have never regained the weight. Mainly doing 5:2 which got me back in touch with true hunger signals.
