13 stone, want to be 10 by August!!

Basically I want to be in such good shape and health for Kenya when I go for six months. it will involve scorching heat and long walks as we wont have a car and I'm unbelievably unfit.

I also have lots of body fat I want rid of - any friends to help support?
Love,
Sara

Good to be aiming to be fitter and lighter. But losing 42lb in 12 weeks doesn't seem too healthy to me.

3 1/2 lb a week is a calorie deficit of about 1750 per day. How are you going to manage to do that healthily?
Anyway, hope it goes well

I agree, without starving yourself this is not going to happen! However, if you stick to healthy eating and exercise you should still get a great loss by August and even if it's not a loss in weight then it will definitely show in inches (which is what most are really aiming for)

Good luck! :drinker:

try small meals spread out through the day. Instead of having 3/4 main meals, try and aim for 6 smaller meals. It SHOULD skyrocket your metabolism through the roof. I think it's possible to lose that much weight by then. you'd be close anyways. Let's say you've got, what 16 weeks to lose? average weight loss a week is 2-3 lbs. so, really, you could lose anything between 32lbs by then, and thats by losing 2lbs a week. Yeah you'd be 10lbs away from hitting your goal, but you'd be 32lbs closer, and believe me, 32lbs is ALOT. Good luck!

I would like to lose 3 stone by August, since July I have lost over 4 stone, averaging out about half a stone a month, but haven't stuck to my plan and diet totally and can do better.

I have just used a formula to work out my calories needed a day which is my weight x 14 calories (276 pounds x 14 = 3864), so I am going to try and stick to around 1800 calories a day, which should result in around 4 pounds a week weight loss.

It is x 12 calories for a woman.

I have also found I am getting fitter so can exercise more.

I am off to Lesotho in September so would like to be 3-4 stone lighter if possible, but if I just lose half a stone a month I will be happy, its progress. You have to listen to your body, rest when u have injuries and eat more when u feel lethargic.

I guess the important fact is where you are starting from, the heavier you are then the easier it should be.

Please feel free to add me anyone, I need help, but also want to help others.
