What is realistic in 4.5 weeks

Hi

What is realistic weight loss in 4.5 weeks. We've just booked a holiday and I'm no where near 'bikini ready'!

Just wondering what is realistic to be able to lose in that time and any advice to maximise this!

Thanks

I've lost 8lb in 5 weeks doing Slimming World (no slimming world bashing please!!!) And I haven't even been trying that hard... So 1/2 a stone should be easily achievable

What's your current weight? It's harder to lose if you're close to the healthy bmi range.

I'd concentrate on eating veg, lean protein and measured carbs with minimal junk, plus exercise when you can.

By the way, if you have s bikini that fits, you're bikini ready.

I fully take was you mean about being bikini ready, and if I go like this, I'll be fine but I just had in my head that I would lose weight before holiday!

I think I've got about a stone to lose, but don't think that's achievable. Will see what I can do with healthy eating and exercise!
