how much weight can I realistically lose in a month?

[ditavionteased]

fedup of being a fatty, work depressing me so been eating crap, managed to put a stone on so today is the day, found some slimfast in the cupboard so going to have that for a week to kick start, then back to sensible eating and I have alli tablets. I do lots of walking and am generally very active.
It is my birthday in amonth so how much would it be realistic to set myself as a goal?

Realistic and stays off - 8lbs
Atkins stylee maybe a stone? BUT you will regain when you start eating carbs again.

Join us on the NOthing Tastes as good as slim feels thread for motivation and arsekicking when you eat stuff you shouldn't

depends on how big you are - if you are very very overweight, a stone in a month is very realistic but for more moderate weight issues, 2lb a week is the best that can be acheived after a possibly higher start for the first couple of weeks..

For the first few months or so of my diet I lost a stone a month. It has slowed down now (I couldn't go on forever losing so much weight!) but I am stil either losing or staying the same. I am doing a low carb diet called Go Lower.

I am on GoLower too and on average lose 4 lb a week....
