Hi everyone, I'm currently a size 18 and want to lose 3 stone and drop 2 dress sizes before my September wedding. Any tips please. I work 40 hours a week in a busy fast food restaurant

    Plug your stats into MFP and it will spit out a number. Eat everything in moderation and stick to that number. Buy a $10 food scale and weigh your foods. Exercise if you faster weight loss.

    Losing 3 stone (42 pounds) by next September is totally doable, but you'll want to start NOW so you can lose it safely and sustainably, and not be stressing at the last minute.

    Agreed. I personally would start off setting your diary to lose 1 pound a week. You will get to eat more and lose 42 pounds in 42 weeks (Which should be around September.)

    Eat at a sensible calorie deficit. Ease up on the 'number goals' and do this for your LIFE as well as your wedding :)

    Totally agree. Start slow if you are new to this. Eating at maintenance for a few days while getting used to logging. You can do it!
