    What is your time frame? How many pounds do you weigh when you are a size 10-12? What is your BMR?

    In general, a healthy rate of weight loss is no more than 1% of your body weight per week. Since you are at 11 stone, that means an absolute maximum of 1.5 lb per week. And since you sound like you are already close to your goal, 1 lb is probably more realistic.

    You also do not want to eat below your BMR for an extended period of time as those are the calories your body is using to keep your brain, heart, and other internal organs alive. Not to mention that you are also probably not getting enough vitamins and minerals if you eat that little, and you are more likely to fall off the wagon.

    Okay, so your goal is very do-able. You might want to look on youtube for bodyweight exercises. Those will help you tone without having to buy equipment. A lot of people on here also like 30 Day Shred and Insanity.
