I lost 28 pounds in just over six months using the 5:2 way of eating. Maintaining well now.0

If you loose 2 lbs a week then it would take 14 weeks0

So you're 140lbs and want to lose 28lbs in roundly 24 weeks.
Are you planning to eat back your exercise calories? Effectively consuming 2200 calories per day?0 -
why do you feel like you need to be 8 stone? that is at the very low end of the healthy range for your height. you are already at a healthy weight. do you dislike the way you look? you can try to build muscle instead of lose weight.0

I forget setting my own calories and use MFP to do it. I set in the deficit I want (-1000 is 2 lb a week) and then load all of my exercise into it. I then try and balance my macros (carb's, protein and fat) . When I do more exercise MFP adjusts the numbers for me. If I am running out of calories and feel the need to hit the deficit I can go and burn some. As long as I book everything accurately I know how much weight I am going to lose (and it works a treat) :-)0

I want to consume 1400 calories
That would mean you are netting 600 calories. That is dangerously low.0 -

Eat normally (around 2000 calories for 5 days a week then the other 2 days (that don't have to be consecutive) eat 500 calories for women or 600 calories for men). It worked for me and I've never felt better!0 -

And might be again. Isn't that the second post she made too?
Oh and I lost 28 lbs in 6 months eating 1600 a day with pretty light exercise (lifting weights 3x a week and walking 30 minutes a day). Of course I still have 10 lbs to lose though, easily.0 -
It took me about 6 months I was 10st 7 and 5ft 2. You want a nice gradual loss, and I found that it was very slow at first but then all of a sudden it just dropped off near the 4month mark.
Don't freak about slashing your calories to the bone to lose it immediately - that will be harder in the long run and do more harm than good. Aim for about 1500 cals (but it is worth getting your own figures based on your own stats) and eat back your calories. Allow yourself treats here and there and going over every now and then is ok. I find it actually confuses my body into losing weight (or not gaining anyway).0 -
set your mfp goals to lose 1lb a week, and eat back half of your exercise calories0

At 10 stone and 5'5 I don't see how you can lose 2 stone so fast, without being ill. I'm 5'6 and was 11 stone and looked fine. I would've liked to have lost a few more lbs and toned up a bit, but if I'd got to 10 stone I'd have looked skinny. Obviously you could have a totally different build to me.
Just exercise and eat healthily. I'd focus on strength training. If it's for a holiday you want to look more toned. At your height and weight I doubt you look fat.0 -

I'm guessing she's English which is why she's using stones as a measurement.0 -

Do you think i should eat 1600 calories like yourself and burn 600 at the gym?0 -
