    Having a goal is great!

    Unfortunately, you've started too late to reach a 5 stone loss by summertime, as summertime is practically already here. It will take many months of consistent dedication to better eating and exercise to see those kids of results, I'd hate to see you get disappointed and give up because you set too harsh of a goal for yourself.

    It's never too late to start, and you can FOR SURE lose some weight and look better by this summer, just maybe not all of your weight. Shoot for next summer to be at your target weight, and get started now! You can do it!

    Hey thanks for the wise words . I'm the impatient type that wants things done by yesterday !! So yes I'll need to set a smaller goal of perhaps just dropping a dress size by end of August otherwise your right , I'd probably give up if it's not a realistic goal

    You can easily drop at least a dress size by August, times passing you by so get on it, you could quite easily surprise yourself with how much you could lose by then, really

    It's never too late to start! Take one day at a time and you will start feeling more confident about the way you look and feel in no time.
