How much weight could I lose in 6 months?

hi i have been overweight for 20 years and just topped 18 stone. Two years ago I started cycling and lost two stone over a year. Then last year really looked at what i was eating and whole family on sensible low fat eating loads of fruit etc, Aldi do six fruit and veg each week for 49p different each few weeks. So i stock up. Also do thirty lengths of pool at lunch time three times a week and now down to 14 st. Everyone is different but found I lose best slowly and just keep at it. I can refuse things now and don't binge if hungry do bowl of museli or fruit. Have changed to soya milk and look at packet labels too when shopping. Check how much fat per 100g not per portion. Must be less that 5g fat and sugar per 100g to be better for you. Good luck.

Hi it took me 16 weeks of weight watchers to lose 2 stone 5lb (from end Sept to end Jan). I'd always give WW the thumbs up, they have two options the points where you are allowed a certain number of points per day (this way limits you sat fat intake), or like slimming world they have another plan where you can eat as much of like of certain foods. Make sure you drink lots of water, i try to stick with 2 litres a day, which is only about 4 pints, thats easy to manage.

Good luck!!

i just like you. started last week at 13 stone 10lbs. and in the first week lost 7lbs. i havent joined a club (done the all before) but am eating sensibly at home. i have started biking to work and generally being more active.

i am going on holiday in August and want to get down to 11 stones by then. so i a hoping to lose 2 stone 10lbs in 5 months.
