I want to lose a stone by Christmas

Just posting to keep myself accountable and see if anybody else is in the same position.
I've lost a stone over the past few months and look loads better and can fit in some of my old clothes. I've mainly done this by walking, I bought a dog and am now averaging at least 15k steps a day but usually more. I've also used intermittent fasting on and off.
My next goal is to lose another stone by Christmas. I'll only be 8lbs off my goal weight then and so will do that in January.
My plan is to IF everyday, walk the dog and cut back the drinking to once a month.

IF definitely works, particularly if you can exercise too to increase your calorie use.
Well done

This is what I'm doing! Walking daily. Calorie counting too. Lost 10lbs so far. Starting to see a difference in my shape!

Happy to walk along with you so to speak

Hi, I'd love to join you. Are you calorie counting, low carb, etc? I'm calorie counting. I don't think I can lose a stone by Christmas but want to lose as much as I can by December 1st: My 50th birthday! I've lost around 38-40lbs so far and want to lose another 17.
Just reread and seen you are doing intermittent fasting. Sorry, it's late. lol Do you skip breakfast entirely or just have it later?
The cravings have been bad for me today. I'm trying to be careful as I'm 3lbs away from being 10st something, that will be my lowest weight for at least 16 years! Week before last I somehow manged to lose 3lb. Last week I was so strict thinking I could do it again and lost 8 oz! lol. I'm trying to be quite on point this week in the hopes of being 10st something next week. I weigh on Saturday mornings.
I'll stop going on about myself and I'm even boring me atm. Grin Will check back in the morning! Good luck.
