70 days to holiday- cam I lose a stone in that time ?

[Poochiedog]

I've failed AGAIN at losing weight for summer this year. I'm now 70 days away from my annual summer holidays abroad. If I'm really good every day from now, could I lose a stone ? I have 2 holidays back to back in August.

Yes - joe wicks’ 90 Day Plan is amazing and you eat well too. I noticed a change by the end of the first month and definitely by 6 weeks/ 70 days.

Yes definitely! I'm doing the same.

I personally find calorie counting the best. I found an online calorie calculator where it asks for height, age etc details to give me a daily calorie allowance for weight loss. I have a spreadsheet where I input what I've eaten, and the calories (I know others use an online one but spreadsheet works for me) and make sure I don't go over my daily allowance. Throw in some good walks/swims/whatever, as long as it gets me moving, and my weight loss has been steady, I'm very happy.

Also find this best for me as I can "borrow" calories from several other days if I want to splash out on occasion, without feeling like I've ruined the whole thing, which has usually been my downfall. As long as the weekly total adds up to what it should, it's been fine.

In the past I've tried to do it without any exercise, and it's possible, but harder, and also I was slimmer but still wobbly so I didn't feel as good as I thought I would (at the slimmer weight). I'm not keen on exercise but a very brisk half hour speed-walk per day works for me and my legs and bum are toning up.

I've just lost 2 and a half stone in 140 days on Slimming World. I lost well over a stone in the first 70 days. You can definitely do it.

Easily done.

It depends how much you have to lose (as it seems if you have more to lose, the first losses are the greatest) but yes, you should be able to. Count calories. No more than 1200 per day and moderate exercise will do it.

Yes absolutely! I lost a stone in 2 weeks which I would NOT advise. I barely ate 2 meals a day, about 800 cals. I had a big event with a beautiful dress I wanted to look good in.

However calorie counting in 70 days you could easily manage it I'm sure. Good luck!
