    Count me in too. My current weight is 249lb and I would like to be around the 230lb mark by the end of the year.

    I will give it a go but not so sure on losing 6.3 kgs in two months, as I have not really lost anything in a couple months I would be quite happy with 3 kgs (I believe that is approx half a stone).

    5-2 or intermittent fasting involves eating normally 5 days and 500 calories two days a week. There's research that shows it reduces risk of Alzheimers, cancer etc. There's a really interesting documentary from Britain on it. There is a 5-2 group on here where you can find out more info and there's a great fb page with menu ideas etc for fasting days. Alternatively Kate Harrison or Dr Moser (from documentary) books/kindle books on amazon.

    This is my goal too! Won't be too harsh on myself if I don't hit exactly a stone, but it would be good to see some significant weightloss by the end of this term!

    Hopefully this link to documentary works. Please note that the first few examples are more extreme than 5-2 but it goes into 5-2 in more detail a wee bitty in!

    Ha! I weighed 10 stone when I was 12.. I have a pair of size 12 Skinny jeans and I want to be able to fit them !! By the Summer hopefully !!

    With weight loss every time I get into a new stone category I get more determined not to go back up and into a higher number!

    My goal is a flat stomach by Christmas, I'm getting to the point where I look in the mirror and think I have less than a stone to lose. :happy:

    I worked out I have 13 lbs to lose but that doesn't take into account my lean weight increasing.

    I am totally in! I bought a dress over a month ago for a wedding this weekend and i don't fit in it!! I want to fit in it for xmas. I got all stressed and stopped caring. Now I am upset that I don't care, because I really do. And I feel so much better when I am active.
