How long did it take you to lose a stone /14lbs?

Took me about six weeks, through a combination of smart eating and increased physical activity.

41 days for me lose 14 lbs. I'm 5'8" and weighed 228 lbs. when I started. I aim to keep calories to between 1280-1300 per day until I reach my goal weight. Also, I eliminated soda, fried foods, and empty calorie snacks from my diet. At the moment, I also alternate jogging 35 minutes three days a week with walking 60 minutes three days a week, taking one rest day. But, I plan on increasing the jogging time as I get fitter.

I had a little more than you to loose at 34lbs in total. I've worked off a 500kcal deficit and only rarely ate exercise calories. I lost 1lb a week consistently since january. It might have felt very slow at times but in reality I've gone from a size 16UK to size 10UK and from just tipping into obease BMI to healthy since January. It's only now looking back that I see how all of those pounds add up quite quickly.

Just under 2 months. Deliberately went slowly with reduction in calories and increase in physical activity. To me, since I really do want the weight loss to be permanent this time, I remind myself that if it took me years to put the excess weight on, I shouldn't be sussed about it taking a year or two to take it off and that, in the end, it's more likely to stay off if I go slow. That's why my goal is 1 lb/week (out of 110 to lose.)

Hi
It took me a year without dieting at all, though I did keep a food journal on MFP off and on and tried to be conscious of not over eating. I was still eating crisps, drinking wine, having cake almost every day. So I am living proof that busts the myth you can't outrun your stomach (up to a point). I did it through upping exercise to four bootcamps a week. But I have plateaued. So now I need to get the diet in check to lose the next stone.

It took me 3 months to lose the first stone and a year for the last stone (68 lbs lost so far in total).
I'm really patient 😉 I prefer slow weight loss, less hunger that way.

About 60 days and I've been stuck there for 12 more.

I forgot to mention.. I exercised for 5hrs or a little over each week. Diet Calories were1,440 per day. Again it took me about 3M/85days to lose 14lbs.

15 days, although some of the initial loss was probably water retention.

I eat roughly 1200 cal a day (1700ish is my recommended amount on here to lose1kg per week), except Friday's and Saturdays when I probably consume 2000 per day. Also swim 3 hours a week. I'm currently losing about 1.8 kg per week.

It took me about a month and a half for the first stone and about two months for the second. I’m not really exercising other than focusing on a moderate amount of steps throughout the day. I know that weight loss through exercise isn’t sustainable for me personally, so I’m focusing mostly on the calorie deficit instead.

It took me two months to lose my first stone, from 13 stone 13 lbs to 12 stone 13 lbs. It then took me another five months to lost the next stone to 11 stone 13 lbs, which landed me pretty much at my goal weight. I maintained there for about seven months but I'm up about 5 lbs again now, though, and and currently deciding whether to maintain at this weight or to lose about 7lbs.

For me diet is key - I ate at the deficit mfp calculated for me, which was pretty much spot on - but I also increased my exercise and ate back my exercsie calories.

How long it takes to lose a particular amount does depend quite a lot on where you are in your weightloss journey. As others have already said, the rate of loss tends to slow down a lot as you get closer to your goal.

My first 10 kilos took barely a month. I was just starting and the simple things like cutting out 2 liters of regular coke a day was a ton of calories. Any walking I did was more than I was doing. The initial weight loss came very fast and very easy.

The 2nd 10 kilos took over 2 months. Then I got completely stuck for 3 months... 😎

28 days - from 105 to 98kg
intermittent fasting 16:8
Logging everything, Targeting 1200 cal , eating back exercise.
Increased my protein Intake.

Do you have a local parkrun? I've recently joined my local one, and it has made an incredible difference to my weight loss and fitness.

For me, sticking loosely to a 1,500 calorie goal and going to the gym each morning has helped me lose a stone in just a month. Parkrun really helped though, feeling a big difference since I started it.

I have lost over 80 so far over the past 18 months. The first week I lost 13, then 8, and it is consistent at @ 2-3 since each week.
