Is it possible!

Is it really possible to lose 7 stone by only following 1400 cal per day diet chart? Anybody lose that amount? How long it takes?

I have stuck to the calorie allowance given on the NHS bmi calculator (check and adjust as you lose) and have lost 3 and a half stone so far in around 5 months. Still need to lose at least another 4 stone but its working for me.

Its totally possible! I eat 1400cals a day and have lost 3 and half stone in 19 weeks still have about 5 st to go, but finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

Hi Ripa, it is possible to lose the weight that way, however with that amount of weight, exercise would help an awful lot to tighten up loose skin. 2lbs a week is the most you should aim to lose safety, although at the beginning you often lose a bit more. If you could maintain a steady 2lb a week loss it would take roughly a year to lose 7 stone. I need to lose a similar amount, it seems impossible at times, but remember any loss is better than a gain and any gain can be lost! Keep posting - a group of us post on Lowcal's Monday morning weigh in and it is a really supportive thread Good luck. Kate x

I do wish this girl would learn how to use paragraphs. Her blog is almost impossible to read.

Yes- have lost around 8 stone in about 15 months following approx 1400 cals. Still have about 1 and a half stones to go and is hard going now as motivation waning. Not putting weight in but not losing either. Started 5 2 diet this week hoping it will kick start weight loss again.
