I am starting today (again) but the DC website says a stone a month so I dont think 81lbs in 8 months is insane you should be able to do it in 6 months if you stick to 100%.
Good luck and you will look wonderful in your dress in May.
use this forum as we will all support you and try to answer any questions you have.
I'm really surprised that I am staying full so far... I can easily eat 4 portions of anything at a time so I thought the first few weeks were going to kill me, but surprisingly I'm staying full! Now I just need to learn to stay away from the arty0036:
Hey Helen, welcome to DC!
I think a stone a month (possibly a bit less) is quite achievable but you should also bear in mind that you might hit plateaus and things, so don't be too disappointed if it takes a little longer.
Having said that, we're all here to support each other and give kicks up the bum (when necessary ) and I've found this forum invaluable on my weight loss journey so far - I hope you do too.
