I'm 5'9 and weigh 10 stone 4 lbs...
Is losing 1 stone in 8 weeks possible without starving myself?
I work out every day and try to eat 1,300 cals but sometimes exceeding that amount.
Help.

    The heavier you are, the quicker you can lose. Some people lose faster in the first weeks especially if they change their lifestyle from sedentary to very active. Make sure you don't injure yourself if you work out every day. 7500 calories deficit = 1 KG lost.

    At your size, no it isn't healthy. You probably shouldn't be aiming for anything more than half a pound a week.

    You are definitely already in a healthy range weight wise, another stone will likely take a while to come off. I won't say it's impossible in 8 weeks, but considering your current stats you may not be able to do it in a healthy way. I say this as someone who is 2 inches shorter and the same weight as you - at this point it's coming off like molasses. But it's still coming off.

    Is there some particular reason for the deadline?

    Thank you! I'll keep at it, I have a holiday booked and still feel like I've got extra padding from winter
