Since having my third child in March, I decided to losesome weight. I started at 18stone 6 lbs on 2 nd may , it's taken a while but I've lost a stone.

I want to lose another 4. Do you think I can do this by Christmas or am I too optimistic. I am so sick of being overweight.

Hi, well done for losing a stone already! 4 stone =56lb, 21 weeks till Christmas, so that would be 2.7lb per week . Might be a tall ask, but if you stick to the NHS plan you should be able to lose a steady 1-2lb per week, so 21lb - 42lb and just think how great that would feel 😊 I'm afraid there's no quick fix to weight loss, and if you lose it too quickly it usually all goes back on again when you start eating 'normally' . The idea of this plan is to change eating habits and it is therefore sustainable long term. There's always lots of health and advice on here. My tips would be to weigh everything to make sure your portion sizes are correct and count calories for absolutely everything you consume. Good luck!

Thank you. I will try my hardest to lose as much as I can. Thanks for putting it in numbers really helps

Well done on losing one stone, really great work. I think you could lose another four by Christmas but like Caz has said, it might be a tall ask. Just do it at a pace your body is comfortable with. It's better to lose weight slowly and be healthy than lose loads and become unwell. Good luck.
