It really depends on your current weight and a diet. It's quite easy to lose a stone if you are overweight. I lost 2st in a month and a total of 6 st in 4 months. Cutting out all cakes/biscuits/crisps and sweets replacing them with fruit/veg. Also stay away from alchohol, sugar any milk drinks whilst drinking at least 2 litres of water a day. Also limit bread/potatoes/pasta during your month. A few hard days and you'll see the results. Once this happens you'll get the momentum to continue. Good luck!!!

That works out at 5kg per month, just over 1kg a week - which is reasonably healthy, but it is a LOT to ask.  You need to keep yourself motivated.  For that sort of weight loss, consult a nutritionist and get a personal diet plan done up.  Cardio is the best way to lose weight - weights can help, but they are more effective in building muscle, which can increase the LOOK of body fat, by bulking up underneath the skin and fat layer and thus making it protrude more.

Everyone reaches a plateau when dieting. It sounds as if you are doing the right thing for your body to lose weight, so I would keep that up & maybe throw a little more intensity and challenge in with it. The weight will probably not drop off like it has been for the past two months, but it will continue to come off. Trust me.

There is no way to lose that much weight in that period of time that doesn't involve removing something.  If you try a fad diet, or starvation, all that will happen is you will make yourself too ill to go on the trip and may end up in the hospital.  Better to sensibly diet to lose around 10, and buy a girdle, if you are really thinking your appearance is more important that the pleasure of your presence.  Otherwise,go as you are.  I'm sure they won't mind at all.

DO NOT LOSE HEART, EVERYONE SLIPS UP A BIT WHEN THEY ARE ON A DIET. I HAVE HAD MY HUSBAND ON ONE FOR TWO MONTHS, AND HE IS ALLOWED TO HAVE TREATS AT THE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE ITS TOO BORING. AND HE IS STILL LOSING WEIGHT. THE THING IS NOT TO OVER INDULGE ,YOU CAN EAT MORE OR LESS ANYTHING IN MODERATION. SO DO NOT BERATE YOURSELF TOO MUCH.

If you are serious and understand that there is no overnight way to loose the amount you are asking about maybe this will help. At about 5 lbs. a week it will take  about 10 weeks to loose the weight You would be better to set your sights on 2-3 lbs per week. NEVER, EVER eat anything after 5pm. Never eat just before going to bed. Eat only twice a day. Drink water, lots of water, and a glass of warm water before bed. Drinking water helps the body to flush out excess fat wastes and toxic body waste and helps with giving you a full feeling. It also helps with mental mentality. Have a bit of fat in some form early in the day, like REAL butter on a piece of toast, this will make the body feel like it is not being slighted. If you must eat sweets try the sugar-free kind, they cost a bit more but are worth it in the long run, pace yourself with them. Get out of the house every day if only to walk once around the block, don't rush, notice everything around you, think about what you see. Add more blocks as you feel as ease with, change routes. If you are pressed into feeling bad by someone near, start doing a chore, laundry, dishs, vacuuming, taking out the trash (and you can sneak that walk as you drop the trash in the trashcan as you go by), STAY AWAY from the ice box. Binge eating only makes the problem worse and you feel you are less of a person after it is over with. If you get weak when out and hit a fast food place and after ordering you feel you shouldn't be doing that, DON'T !!!!, pay for the food, walk OUTSIDE!, don't sit down, and drop the stuff in the trash can or give it to someone outside or an animal. You will feel odd doing this but then you will feel that you just took control over yourself and it will get you thinking about the other things in your life you should look into taking back control over, and you just proved to yourself that it is not impossible. Try taking yourself out of the circle you focus on all the time and place yourself on the edge and others in the center. When I was losing weight I found that taking Chromium tablets each day curtailed my craving for chocolate. I am a big choc-0-halic. Amino acids also helped for control (all over the counter stuff). Make sure you are not alergic to any of this though. And do not make a big deal of your trying to loose weight to others, keep low key, pretend to be eating so other do not try to keep handing you stuff to stuff in your face. I stopped smoking by not telling anyone and keeping a half pack of ciggs in my shirt pocket so all could see I had it and they did not offer me any. It was worth their bumming them from me to ward off any questions. Nobody near around you will help you if it is not in their best interest to keep you in the position that is more conveient to them. FAKE them out! Depend on yourself, in the end you are the only one who is there for you no matter what is said. O.K. eat more veggies, take them with you, snack on them, unlimited, try all the diffrent veggies at the store, take time out to go to the store just to see what is offered, strange to you or not, try it! And stay out of the other areas of the store. Well, that's what I can tell you for what it is worth. I gained a lot of weight after 3 surgeries and am an older person in my 50's, and now it is so hard to loose, so very hard. Do it now while you can, and like yourself, not what others want you to change into for them, you are not them, you are YOU, and control will come with practice over time.

No, you’re NOT fat. 8.5 stones (British weight) is 119lbs, which is a healthy weight for a person 5’6”. You’re BMI (Body Mass Index) is 19.2 which means your weight is in the normal (towards the low end though) of the healthy weight zone. It’s easy to be caught up in the obsession over appearance and weight. You do not want to be underweight. Anorexia damages your organs and destroys your life and the damage to your body is irreversible. A good way to help you feel in control and good about your health and appearance is to get involved in sports or any kind of physical activity and deal with stresses and problems right away before they start to affect your eating habits.

Get some aerobic exercise every day the kind where your heart rate speeds up and do it for at least half an hour EVERY day and you won't have any problems. Don't try to diet at y our age and get lots of calcium. Eating a cup of yogurt eery day will help keep your weight low and give you calcium. NO diets please, they make you even fatter when you go off them.

PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...\n\nand try cereal in the mornings... weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...\n\n\nfor lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...\n\n\nthen for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...\n\n\neat sandwiches as m

Slow and steady DOES win this race!!!  I lost 10-15kg about 6yrs ago and went from a 16 to a 8/10 (Aussie sizes)  I'm now a 12 and am still very happy!\n\nYou sound like you are more than ready to begin this change - you certainly have the desire to do it!  Starting is by far the hardest part of the weight loss process.  Once you get healthy habits going, it's surprisingly easy to maintain them.  You need to find a way to give yourself that inital push or get someone to help you do it.\n\nI suggest you set a date to start your new healthy lifestyle - say to yourself "I am going to change my life and I am going to begin today.  I will not look back because this is something I am doing to better myself."  \n\n\nConsider consulting a nutritionist - they'll be able to help you understand why you binge eat and create healthy eating habits as well as eating plans.  I suggest you also consult your regular GP and find out the state of your health - blood pressure etc.  You don't want to push yourself too far too fast because that will most likely make you lose your motivation.\n\nYou have to accept that you are going to have to be selfish to a degree, because you will not be able to achieve your goal unless you take time out for yourself.  Ask your family and friends to support you by encouraging you and being conscious of their own habits when they're around you.  The more supportive, and healthy influences you surround yourself with, the more chance you have of succeeding.\n\nIf you're not used to exercising, you'd be best to start with gentle exercises, because the going from 0 to 100 will make you hurt and the more you hurt, the less you want to exercise and as a result, you lose your motivation.\n\nDon't expect things to happen overnight, and don't bother with fad diets that promise a quick fix - your body registers dieting as "starvation" and hangs onto your body fat.  \n\nKeep things interesting for yourself.  If you find yourself growing bored with your chosen exercise regime, try taking it up a notch, or else try something new.  If you join a gym, try to find one that gives free consultations with trainers every so often.  If not, make sure you join one that has plenty of staff around who can help you use the machinery and advise you on how things work, and what weights and speeds you should be using etc.  If you're nervous about embarrassing yourself, don't be!  Look around at different gyms, there are a heap of ones that aren't filled with people pumping iron and are quieter and less imposing for beginners.  If your finances can run to it, try to organise a session with one of the gym's personal trainers once a month or so -  that way you can get a proper, personalised evaluation and find out if you should be changing your exercise routine.\n\nIf you can't run to a gym membership, the try walking - set yourself a goal to reach, I used to go to video store at the top of the main road.  It only took me ten minutes to walk there, but I slowly increased that to include the streets surrounding it.\n\nWhen you go out, try to get a particular friend to keep an eye on you and help keep you from straying.  However, don't forget to treat yourself every so often.  I find that if I deny myself a treat for too long, I end up binging, which destroys all the good work I've done!  \n\nAlso, try not to eat before you go to sleep - I believe 2hrs is the minimum recommended gap.  And don't forget the mental component to losing weight - the mind plays a big part. Don't eat in front of the TV or computer - it distracts your mind from the process of eating.  Eat slowly - it helps your body feel fuller - 15-20min is the recommended minimum.  And try to prepare your own meals, your sense of smell plays a big part in your enjoyment of food - it's a preliminary stage to eating, so it prepares your mind and unconsciously begins to help you feel mentally fu

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

get Medical Professional Assistance.\n\n1200 calorie diet is very low calorie, May not assist in losing weight,m and maybe counter productive.\n\nIt is Good to keep a fit figure, but need to be done in proper healthily way.\n\nMay I propose few alternatives as you seek help from Medical Professional.\n1)  Eat Slowly,  (from French Women Don't Get Fat, see the link below),  The link from stomach and brain is very slow, thus when the stomach is full, the the signal takes some time (about few mins) before it can reacts.\n2) Cut down Sugar, hidden and visible,\nHidden, in pastry, donuts, fizzy drinks,  milk chocolate (True Chocolate lovers take their chocolate Dark or Nero, they pay for Quality Coco, don't pay for cheap sugar)\n3) Take More Fibre, Fibre fill you up, helps to reduce the sugar swing in the blood supply.\n4) Drink alot of water,m to help the body remove the waste products\n\nNote we have not come to Exercise yet.\nFind an Exercise you like, and do often, be it walking stairs climbing, Simple weights living (Think 0.5 kg weights not the tens of Kg type, and do it often,)\n\nFind Motivation, \n1) May I recommend this pod-cast Motivation to Move: see link below:\n2) get your family/Friends to encourage you. Support Group.\n\nFinally give yourself time.\nYou didn't gain 300Pd's over night, thus wouldn't lose it over night.   aim for something low, a pound a month,  Reward yourself when you achieve it, Yes Eat something nice, but in small amount.\n\nA pound a month is low, but if you are comfortable with the pace, go for abit more, two pounds, then three, Give your body time to get use to Exercise and the new eating scheme.\n\nGet Medical Assistance, losing weight fast, is dangerous for the Heart.  get Professional help.
