    a stone would be tough going depending on how much you have got to lose and how your current life style is.

    What is your current level of activity and what is your diet like? if there is a big change then you may see a big initial loss. It takes me around 6 weeks to lose a stone, although i think this is slowing down now for me

    I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks just dropping carbs - no bread, potatoes, pasta, rice etc.

    You'll have to re-introduce them gradually so the weight doesn't pile back on again, but may get away with it if you are exercising too.

    yeah i no i can loose it, its just actually doing it!

    soo hard to get into the swing of it, but when the weight starts falling off I'm sure i will be determined to become fit again!

    * lose not loose :flowerforyou: pet peeve of many people here


    a stone in 4 weeks might be pretty tough. I would just aim for a steady loss and not put a date on it - sets many people up for disappointment. Reasonable goals are better!

    Would definitely agree a stone in 4 weeks is a tall order and maybe risky for piling it back on. Why don't you tailor some exercise such as ab work and jogging to target those areas that show in your party dress- just a little more muscle tone will help you stand tall and you'll look slimmer. It's all in the opical illusions! Then you can actually lose weight at a more sustainable rate over the coming months.

    Good luck!
