I NEED to lose 2 stone/28 lbs to be in a healthy bmi range. I would ideally like to lose 4 stone and 2-3 dress sizes... I wanna start tomorrow when the gyms back open and get my cardio levels up but I dont feel like I stick to it well enough without support and I'm the only support I have!! I want to lose 4 stone in time for next Christmas! Anyone want to join?? My goal is 2-4lbs per week, 4.5hours of cardio per week and 2.5-3.5 hours if weights a week (3-4 days if cardio and 2-3 days of weights)
Anyone up fir being a buddy?

That is a massive relief! Thank you so much! I used to be anorexic bulimic and since I got in a relationship I overcame that... And just didn't stop. I am now too comfortable. I go to the gym just not enough and I eat the right foods just not enough and get bored and eat!
I wanna be healthy again not skinny 😊
I really want you to be healthy, so you need to calm down a bit
To lose weight healthily you need to eat your recommended number of calories and your weight loss should ideally be no more than 1 - 2lbs/week.
I advise downloading the NHS 12 week plan and following it's guidelines

You're up and running now
I am aiming for 2-3lbs a week. I know I will lose a lot in the first week of water weight probably about 5lbs but after that I am aiming for 2-3lbs because I will up my sports and lower my kcal to 1200-1500 I currently eat about 1700 and then just have a massive soil up half way through so I have set myself a target of every 9lbs = date night food!!
I'd like you to take a step back and really look at what you've written. I want to be able to support you, but knowing where you've come from, eating wise, I'm very concerned that your targets are bordering on obsessive and worryingly anorexic/bulimic.
You're going to reduce your calorie intake below what's recommended, in order to treat yourself with a binge, not for a one off occasion, but on a regular basis. I'd be a lot happier, if you were to factor in a small daily treat, using a few of your recommended calories for the day eg a 2 finger kitkat for 100 calories.
This shouldn't be a quick fix, but a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
What will you do if you don't lose 2-3lbs/week? Reduce your calories more? Up your exercise? Where does it stop?
Please rethink your goals, your health is so important.
