Hi Maddielewis and welcome

3 stone in 6 weeks is definitely a big target.

It has taken me 10 months to lose 2 stone but i am unable to exercise. If you can exercise you will probably lose alot more than what i did in 3 months but 3 stone in 6 weeks is a huge amount of weight to lose.

Good luck with your weight loss journey

Hello Maddielewis and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

Unfortunately it is not physically possible to lose fat that quickly, you may see whacky diets promising rapid weight loss but it's not fact, it's fluid and body mass. However, 6 weeks is long enough to make a real difference to your body shape and size, as well as health and fitness. 😀

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and 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 NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for

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

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. 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. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Hi, I believe that kind of weight loss is unrealistic and dangerous. 3 stone in 3 months would be possible but even that is quite quick. Most people on here recommend slow weight loss than can be sustained. Good luck with losing weight.

Even VLCD wouldnt suggest your goal... Adjust to a more realistic figure and move forward setting yourself up to succeed.

Wishing you good health with healthy weight loss.

I've lost 3 stone in 6 months by counting calories and steps. I have been motivated and determined. Your target is unrealistic and dangerous - take the advice given here. Daisy1925

Sorry to say, I agree with the others. I doubt if you would find anyone here encouraging you to attempt that one. You are being over ambitious. I think you should rethink your target and come up with a more realistic one in which we can support you all the way. Good luck.
