    You can probably lose 3-6 pounds... how much do you have to lose all together?

    Yes, around 1-3lbs may be possible in theory (you don't look like you have a lot to lose if that is you in your profile picture), but weight loss isn't linear, so it may or may not happen. Water weight loss may or may not happen as well.

    Have fun on your trip!

    Sure. You can lose 1-5 lbs or so depending on your starting weight.

    125 pounds. That's what her profile says anyway. 3-6 pounds is unrealistic.

    I don't know your height, but 125 pounds seems healthy. Why do you want to lose weight?

    You can probably lose about a half pound a week, if that, if you are super diligent in your calorie goals. Your best chance is probably a pound or a pound and a half, and maybe losing some water. However, weight loss is not linear so you might end up not losing anything at all at first.

    I didn't say 125 pounds to lose. Her profile says she weighs 125, unless my google calculation of stone to weight is wrong. :)

    Doesn't sound unrealistic to me. Aim to lose 0.5-1lb per week.

    Its unrealistic in three weeks but not an unrealistic goal to achieve over a longer period of time.

    You quoted my post where I asked how much she had to lose, not how much she weighed, and you said 125...

    Oh my goodness, you are tiny!

    According to this you are on the higher end of healthy, so if you want to lose a few vanity pounds it's gong to take awhile. A half pound a week at most.

    This. OP, the closer you are to a healthy weight and the less weight you have to lose, the longer it will take. Set your goal to lose .5 lbs a week.

    This. 1 stone in 3 weeks is very unrealistic, but over a period of time (if you lose .5lbs per week) is perfectly fine.
