in Getting Started
I have 2 stone to shift to get where I want to be. How long should that take if I'm committed? Should I be there by summer??

How much does everyone else have to lose?

    I need to lose 30lbs. Same pretty much the exact same as you, roughly 2 stones. My goal is to be close to that by June for my trip to Colorado. Feel free to add me :)

    5-8lbs. Which is painful for me and could take all year.

    I have almost 70 to lose, although I shed nearly 6 of it so far (just started mid-January). :)

    84 to go. Possibly a couple more; I'll see when I get there. (84 lbs would put me at the maximum for my height according to most fitness charts. I wouldn't mind a few more pounds for a buffer, but that's something to discuss with my doctor down the road.)

    Ideally 50-60 lbs. More importantly I just want to feel healthy and physically fit, and if that happens at a higher weight that's fine too.

    You can expect to lose up to 1% of your total body weight per week if you do everything right. You have the numbers. You do the math.

    How much does everyone else have to lose?
    Nothing at this point :D

    I think losing 30-40 pounds will put me at my healthiest weight.

    Yep. I lose like a pound per month. It's one of the hard things about being relatively lean and training hard. Also I don't do cardio so when I'm in a deficit it's pretty...painful.

    About 100lbs, but I probably don't need to. For some reason, I am convinced the less I weigh, the better, but I've seen some women with muscle, and they actually weigh more and look smaller than woman of a lower weight, so I desperately need to change my mindset.

    30-35 lbs. I had set my goal for 2 lbs/wk, which would take approximately 15 weeks ~ 3 months. With some comments and support from the boards, I've decided to slow it down and will now shoot for 1lb/wk, which will be closer to 6 months. September. However, trying not to focus only on an end number, but acknowledging that every week I will be healthier than I was the week before.

    Save that muscle as you lose, with weight training and getting a good amount of protein, and you may not need to get to as low of a weight to look good. I complain about my weight a lot but all in all, I think I look pretty decent for a 5'4" women at 143 lbs. I have friends my weight who are below 120. I could never.

    35lbs total but slowly. I'm giving myself 6 months. I set my goal to 0.5-1lb per week. My primary goal is keeping the lower weight as I reduce. Good luck everyone
