Hi all,

I need some advice on losing potentially 2-3 stone in 3-4 months as I've got some pretty major surgery coming up and I'm at more risk if I'm overweight.

I've bought some Slim Fast milkshakes and I'm hoping they will help towards it. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Kay.

    Drink lots of water.
    Cardio. If it's more important to get weight off, rather than type of weight, lots of cardio. You'll lose both muscle and fat, but the weight will come down.
    Otherwise, restricting calories. The slim fast plan is a pretty good one. 3 snacks (100-200 calories), 2 shakes and 1 dinner (no more than 500 calories). Make sure to keep your foods balanced, lean proteins, lots of fresh (or frozen fresh) fruits and vegetables (more veggies than fruits) and a small starchy sides. Being faithful to the plan can net you 2 pounds a week, but you need to be completely honest with yourself.
