Hi, I'm looking to lose 2 stone by November I live in the UK. And tbh relate better to UK people due to the food availability here. Sometimes don't know what other people are eating! Lol.
I'm 52 , 5ft 4 and currently just over 12 stone. Would love to find friend we can support and motivate each other. I am committed and log everyday. Look forward to hearing from you

    By the beginning or end of November? Reasonable rates of loss are 1-2lbs a week, but with so little to lose, then .5 to1lb a week would be more realistic. For losing at the rate you suggest you would need to create a deficit in the range of 1250-2000 calories a day depending on whether you need to reach traget by the beginning or end of November. It wont happen. Reassess your targets.

    Hi :)
    I'm also a UK member.

    I started out at 11 stone 3 (5 ft 2) and it took me 4 and a half months to get down to 9 stone 2 (current weight).

    Wishing you the best of luck - but I'd set a realistic goal first of all to take the pressure off a little. Would you consider setting a goal of 14lbs by November instead? This is very achievable though you'll still have to give it your absolute all!

    Not saying that at all, it is do-able. But it might be better for you if you ease up on the huge expectation - 2 stone is a lot of weight. Some weeks you may not lose 2, some you may lose more. It's really hard to say! If you think you can do it, then by all means go for it :D
