    Hi, you can follow me. I'm from the north west and my goals are very similar. Done all the diets you can think of, and 'lived' SLimming world for years but just didn't do it for me. Been on here since mid January - 1200 cals per day and gym visits and have lost 13lbs o:) would love for some company on this journey x

    Are you following any diet plan? I'm currently following slimming world plan, I used to go to group but I'm just doing it on my own from home, saves paying every week and I've already got the books and there's loads of groups on Facebook that help with syns x

    I tried slimming world but I couldn't lose weight on it. Could be to do with the fact there is no group where I live! I've tried but it just didn't work

    Let me get this straight............... You are currently over 13st and want to be 10st by June??
    3st straight is 42lb and you say you're "over" that, whatever than might mean, but lets only assume you wanted to lose 3st rather than "over" that, that's still 42lb in 102 days!! To lose a stone virtually every month, you would have to lose 3.5lb every week. That would be a weekly deficit of 12250 calories a week, or 1750 calories a day.

    What's your plan for creating that deficit on a daily basis??

    there shouldn't be one - that's an unhealthy rate and the OP should cut it to 1 - 1.5lbs a week maximum

    but I know you know that

    so OP?

    I'm near Coventry in the UK :) feel free to add!

    But @CollieFit is very right! please lose the weight sensibly at 1-2lbs a week and it is more likely to:
    1. Keep motivation and actually reach your goal!
    2. It be more enjoyable :)
    3. You are more likely to keep the weight off!

    Good luck!

    I'm in Hampshire, I've lost 1st 2lb so far (even though MFP thinks it's 3lb more than that, hiccup with the starting weight!)
    I want to lose another 6lb to get to my first goal, I'm trying to do this by the second week in April (it'll probably be 5lb but that's fine).
    Then when I'm back from holiday I want to lose another half a stone to a stone slowly at 1/2lb a week to get to my second goal which is to be within the recommended weight range for my height, I've got no time frame for this, it takes as long as it takes.
    Then it's all about maintenance which I've failed miserably at in the past.

    Hi all, I'm in edinburgh. Started on MFP after realising how much I hate the new points system on Weight watchers. Just under 14st now, looking to lose 2st at least by November which is when I need to order my wedding dress! Xx

    Im in the UK too.. Midlands :smile: down from 14st to 10st 5'5 and looking to drop the last 10-15lbs.
    Feel free to add me, but I also agree with the others that you should consider lowering your goal to around 1lb per week.

    I'm in York! I'm a Londoner at heart but am up north for uni! I've got 8lbs till I hit the healthy weight category though am aiming at losing another 10-12lbs. I'm looking to lose for Graduation but that is won't be until next year, so I've got plenty of time to lose it and work out the whole maintenance thing.

    I'm in the UK as well but much heavier than all of you! I started out at 18 stone 12.6 at the beginning of January (exactly what I weighed the day I had my twins 18 months before).

    *it keeps cutting off my post here and I don't know why???

    Today I weighed in at 16 stone 10.6 and am aiming for just under 12 stone and a normal BMI. Feel free to add me!
