Has anyone lost 10-14 lbs within the healthy bmi range in 6-8 weeks? How?

Just that really.

I'm right at the top end of healthy/borderline overweight of bmi. I'm aiming to lose ideally a stone by end July. Not sure how do-able that is or which method would be best. Would love to hear people's stories who have had success with a similar goal, and how they did it!

Generally I do low carb-ish as needed and not afraid of a bit of sweat to keep my weight under control. However bread and booze are my weakness hence I need to take some more deliberate action!

Yes! Here are a few I use frequently:

10 minute standing arms with dumbbells

10 minute standing abs with one dumbbell

10 minute barre arms with light weights

Hmm well I went from 57 kgs to 49 kgs in about 4 months when I was 18, and was very pleased to lose another 2 kgs in the subsequent 2 months. I am 5'6", so I wouldn't recommend that at all. But everything is possible if you want it enough.

I used to run up and down some stairs near my house for an hour at a time after dinner. Walked the dog for 2 hours a day. Ate only when watched by my parents.
Now that I'm a normal human being again, I can still lose weight fairly easily just by cutting back on sweets and booze. I avoid going on diets when stressed though, and avoid low carb diets - they definitely work, but not for people like me.

@onlywork55 you’re a star! Thank you so much

Thanks @onlywork55

Me, did low carb and no snacking but now I can’t seem to shift any more after £10 in a month or so

Thanks all, appreciate the inspiration and relieved to hear that it's an achievable target!
I've started with MFP and 1200 calories, I'm already reasonably regular at the gym so will try to up that a bit and see how I get on.
Keep you posted!
