Hi and welcome, Karlos :)

I'm afraid weight loss is different for all of us, so it would be difficult to say. If you estimate 1 - 2lbs loss a week, that would be an average rate.

I'd like to invite you to join our Newbie Club, which we hope will be a good place for you to connect with members, who are also just starting out. If you just post a few words to introduce yourself and respond to others there, you'll soon break the ice. Here's the link

You'll find all the information you need to navigate the forum in the header, so please take the time to read it carefully.

Wishing you all the best :)

Hi, welcome. It depends how much a person weighs and how ‘bad’ their diet is. Mine was a bad diet and I was 23 stone so I lost 2 stone in 2 months but losing 2 stone now I expect to take me more like 5 months as some weeks I stay the same as my diet is better and I am already moving. If someone does a crash diet and loses weight quickly they usually put it back on but that’s fine if it’s for a wedding or something.

Hi Karlos

If you stick to a calorie controlled diet and increase activity you should be able to lose between 1 to 2 . 5 lbs a week so about 14 weeks

Totally up to how much effort you put in ... calories in need to be less than calories out

You can do it !
