    I'm currently around 13 stone ish I want to get to 10 stone 3 I'm not wanting to rush this but how long should it take doing it healthily? How long did it take you to reach your goal?

    It took me 2 years to get from 15 stone to 12.5 stone that I'm currently at. However, it's only taken me since last July to drop the final 2 Stone following a healthy, calorie deficit diet and plenty of exercise.

    It took me 4 months to lose 22 pounds. Now in maintenance I'm attempting the tedious process of recomp.

    Everyone is different though. ;) You can do it!

    Well done to all of you! I have about another 42 lbs to get to where I want to be, hopefully going to do it within 6 months! :)

    Probably too aggressive. You can lose part of it at 1 lb per week, but the last part will be slower at .5 lb per week. You'll be ~ 60 weeks as a guess. While still staying healthy.

    About 4 months to lose 10kg (22lbs). That was in 2015, and I maintained for a year and a half. Now I'm back to lose another 10kg!

    Not quite there yet, but it took me 6 months to lose 60# and another 6 months to lose 5 more. Once I hit my first goal, I realized I need to drop 15# to hit my body fat goal.

    It's been about a year and a half, though I'm not 100% done yet. I've lost 66 lbs so far at about 1 pound a week.

    20Lbs to get back in my healthy weight range took about 6 months. Now I want to lose 10-15 more to get to lower/mid point of my bodies healthy range

    A year and a half to lose 46 lbs, from BMI 30 to 23. Started at 1lb per week, had a long finish at .5lbs per week. Currently maintaining at 139lbs.

    Edited to add: I think slow is good; maintenance sure looks much more similar to losing 0.5 lbs per week than to my "before".
