Hi guys, I've set myself a goal to loose one stone before Christmas. If anyone has a goal to loose a certain amount before Christmas, please feel free to add me because I'd love to help and support anyone to make it happen!

Would love to achieve this together :)

    I don't know what a stone is but I would like to lose the 14 lbs I gained back from over eating through out the summer, before Xmas.

    I am hoping to lose 2 stone (28lbs) by Christmas. I've lost 90 so far in less than 6 months so I know it's possible! It's also starting to get cold though and it makes working out less desirable.

    A stone equals 14 pounds. The Brits use this unit, but we never adopted the term in the states. I am not sure about its usage in the other former colonies.

    Unless one is very obese, a stone by Christmas is not a healthy or sustainable goal. December 25th is less than 6 weeks away and would require losing more than two pounds a week. Losing more than two pounds a week would require you to eat almost 1200 calories under your TDEE. So if you are a woman you would need to have a TDEE of 2400 calories to begin with, and then eat only 1200 calories. Most people under 200 pounds have a very difficult time eating any where near 50% of their TDEE. And eating below 1200 calories for a female or 1500 for a male can have serious health consequences.

    At the time she made the post, Christmas was 7 full weeks away... that's a 2 lb per week loss. You'd have to be pretty disciplined, but it's definitely healthy and sustainable.

    Considering the OP only has 13 pounds until she reaches her goal, a 2lb/week loss is pretty aggressive and is likely not achievable, healthy, or sustainable.
