Weight loss

Hi at the moment I'm 5ft 6 and 26 years old. I weight 11st7 and have a body fat percentage of 34%( yikes!) I just wanted to know how long it would take me to lose 2 stone and what foods would be best. Thanks

    2 stone is about 13kg so you are probably looking at around 20-30 weeks.

    As for food anything goes, plug in your details into MFP, get the calorie goal, stay at or just below that number and you will lose weight.

    If you plug in your information, just set the rate you want to lose at in there. 1 to 2 lbs per week is the usual rate of loss.

    I would say roughly 6 months, give or take. :)

    I lost 28 pounds in about 15 weeks just doing CICO and walking about 3 or 4 times a week for 3 miles. Good luck to you! You can do it one good choice at a time.

    I started off at 11 stone 3. It took me around 4 months to lose 2 stone :)
    Everyone is different however - put the effort in and make sure you're tracking everything and you won't have a problem.
