Calories required for weightloss

[courtneychambers]

Hi,

I am 5'1, and weigh 11st. I'm trying to work out roughly how many calories I need to lose at least 2 stone. Can someone answer me or point me in the right direction please. ☺

To Courtneychambers, you could try the following site:

nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyw...

Or if that doesn't work you could try googling bmi calculator nhs, fill in the form and there you will find out what calorie amounts will be good for losing weight.

Or if you want to reply back with your sex, age and activity levels I will do it for you.

all the best JP.

Hi and welcome, Courtney

JP has pointed you in the right direction and I'd just like to give you this to look at

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Have a look at the 12 week plan, as many people have been successful following it. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey
