I'm not sure if i should be posting this in this section? I'd just like to hear from anyone who has lost around 2 stone in about 4months or so. Is it healthy to try and do this?

i have 20weeks until me and my boyfriend go to holiday in Tenerife for 10 nights in June, and I really want to try and lose around 2 stone before then. That gives me an average of 1.4lbs a week.

I want to start heavy lifting soon (I am going to buy some new weights on Monday, and my boyfriend is bringing his over at the weekend for me to try), so I think i'll probaby do more weight lifting than cardio. I understand I probably won't end up losing 2 stone if I lift weights as I will build muscle, but i would still like to hear from anyone who's been successful :)

    When I first started losing weight I managed to lose about 2 stone in that amount of time. I've heard a lot of people saying that it is healthy to lose around 1 - 2lbs a week :)

    I lost around 75lbs in four months, however I was extremely overweight ( obese according to my BMI) It is easily doable to lose 2 stone in four months healthily. Eat cleanly 95% of the time, and if you tone up you will look smaller too, even if you don't hit your target.

    Good luck.

    I managed it when I switched from normal dieting to Intermittent fasting.

    That's a super healthy rate to lose weight. It might be difficult depending on your starting weight, but 1.4 lbs a week isn't generally unhealthy. Good luck!

    I've lost 0.75 stone in exactly 4 weeks.

    That's with a 750cal deficit in my diet and 30 mins on an elliptical machine 3 out of every 4 days.

    So I guess it's doable...
