My goal is to lose a stone before Christmas!

Naomii4

Hi guys, I've set myself a goal to loose one stone before Christmas. If anyone has a goal to loose a certain amount before Christmas, please feel free to add me because I'd love to help and support anyone to make it happen!

Would love to achieve this together

Lost 1.5 stone so far want to lose another half stone by Christmas

MrsWashington82

I don't know what a stone is but I would like to lose the 14 lbs I gained back from over eating through out the summer, before Xmas.

MsSquatAlot

I am hoping to lose 2 stone (28lbs) by Christmas. I've lost 90 so far in less than 6 months so I know it's possible! It's also starting to get cold though and it makes working out less desirable.

siaminxx

I would like to lose at least 10 lbs by Christmas!

sanramseg

Eating well and daily exercise

A stone equals 14 pounds. The Brits use this unit, but we never adopted the term in the states. I am not sure about its usage in the other former colonies.

Unless one is very obese, a stone by Christmas is not a healthy or sustainable goal. December 25th is less than 6 weeks away and would require losing more than two pounds a week. Losing more than two pounds a week would require you to eat almost 1200 calories under your TDEE. So if you are a woman you would need to have a TDEE of 2400 calories to begin with, and then eat only 1200 calories. Most people under 200 pounds have a very difficult time eating any where near 50% of their TDEE. And eating below 1200 calories for a female or 1500 for a male can have serious health consequences.

At the time she made the post, Christmas was 7 full weeks away... that's a 2 lb per week loss. You'd have to be pretty disciplined, but it's definitely healthy and sustainable.

Considering the OP only has 13 pounds until she reaches her goal, a 2lb/week loss is pretty aggressive and is likely not achievable, healthy, or sustainable.
