How long to loose 3 stone?

Im just me!
How long do you think it will take doing ss to loose 3 stone?
 
I would say about 2 - 2.5 months, taking into account the high first week's loss and then the average of a stone a month x x
 
To some extent, that rather depends on what you weigh now.

If you're talking about dropping from 13 stone to 10 stone then that'll take a bit longer than it would to drop from 15 stone to 12 stone, if you see what I mean. As your weight decreases, so does your Basal Metabolic Rate - so weekly losses aren't as big as you get nearer to goal. If you're several stones away from having a BMI of 25, you'll lose at a stone a month (maybe more). With only a couple of stones to lose, it'll be more like ten pounds a month (after the first month), I'd say.

Edited to add: Of course, the younger you are, the faster you'll lose because your Basal Metabolic Rate is naturally higher anyway.

I tell you, it sucks to be past 40... :)
 
about 2 1/2 to 3months usually, you will probably have it off by mid june :D:D:D:D
 
Great information, I love this site for great motivation and determination that we can all do this. My problem is the weeks weigh ins never come quick enough :) Im just inpatient :) xx
 
Thank you for the advise, i was hoping it would be sooner! But im so gready! Maybe in between that i will have a meal.
