I am new here and am hoping to lose 3 stone between now and August. I am 51 and feel like my body has really changed shape in the last year. I'm here looking for support and inspiration to reach my goal. I am happy to support others and share ideas.
Is my goal realistic and is anyone in a similar position to me?
I've replied to your previous post. I hope you've had chance to read the links I've given you so you can find your way around.
As you've mentioned your age, I will give you another link which could give you a new approach to weight loss, for good healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Please consider locking your posts. Some forum members will not respond to unlocked posts for the reason I mentioned earlier
How do I lock posts. Do I click community members only when I post and can I do it retrospectively?
Welcome to the forum! I absolutely love it here! You will find lots of motivation and inspiration on here as there are lots of people willing to help and support you 
In regards to your target, I would set mini targets to help you along the way! I have lost 2 and a half stone in the past but that was over 18 months, which admittedly I could have done quicker but my diet was not completely great! It depends on your body and what you can do with your diet and exercise, depending on restrictions I have set little goals this year, to keep my motivated so that it doesn't seem so far away
Good luck, always here to support should you need it
Hi, Floridababe , Welcome.
My father lost seven stone in a year.
Forty-two pounds in 28 weeks might be possible, if you have no metabolic problems. Seven pounds plus one pound a week is good, but some people manage two pounds a week or more... will you be exercising?
Walking the dog but I'm no gym bunny
