48lbs in 116 days...?

[LVP123]

Hi everyone
I am restarting exante today after a few failed attempts. I get married in 116 days (16 weeks and 4 days) and my Grandad said if I can lose 3 stone 5 pounds in that time he will give me £2300...
What do you guys think, is this possible? I weigh 15 stone 4lbs and need to get to 11 stone 13lbs, I'm 5 foot 8...

Thanks x

Exante estimate a stone a month loss, so theoretically possible yes. Bear in mind that everyone is different though, so no guarantees. Good luck!

Thank you! I really really want to do it - this is the difference of us having a honeymoon or not!! X

if you stick to it 100% you 'should ' be able to , no promises but I reckon you can

Good luck, i want to lose 3stone as im 14 stone and want to get down to 11 stone which is the healthy weight for me.

If you stick to it 100% you will just do it in time going on my losses previously. Good luck

I'd lose 5 stone if someone promised me £2300

Hi... I would say that it is very achievable if you stick to it rigidly. Mind you, if £2300 isn't incentive enough to stick to it then I'm not sure what is. My personal advice, for what it's worth, is once you're 'in the zone' don't come off it thinking you can start again as it's so much harder to restart than you could imagine. I started at the beginning of February at 19.5st and am now down to 16.9. I was at 16.13 just before Mothers Day and it's taken me since then to get back into it properly.

Good luck and keep us posted and set up your own challenge so that others can join you!

Go on hun, even if you don't lose all the weight you will feel so much better on your wedding day, And i reckon that if your grandad sees that you made the effort to try he might give it to you anyway, or maybe half!! what have you got to lose other than the weight lol x x x

At my grans funeral in Feb my uncle said that if i get down to 12st he would pay for me and my family to go Skiing! i was 21st 1lb, I was going to start a diet anyway so i have taken him up on his offer I started on the 9th April and have lost 2st 0.5lb in 4 weeks. but i want to get to 10-11st (so when i do get to my target and past his i am going to get him to buy me a new ski suite too lol!) it's worth a try !! x x

I didn't manage to start properly until last Friday - but I have been 100% since then and have lost 8lbs in 6 days. I'm really pleased. I feel a lot more motivated than I have done before, especially as I had a tooth socket infection last week after an extraction, and over the weekend came out in shingles which make me feel pretty dire. I woke up tues with a stinking cold so have just felt awful pretty much the

 

[LVP123]

whole time but still managed to stick to it, when usually id just give in!! X

 

[Sammysmiles]

Well done LVP. When I was 16 stone my knees used to ache so much but within a couple of stone that stopped. It took a 4 stone loss for anyone to notice but when I got to target it was all worth it. Try and do some exercise as well, you'll look and feel a million times better as well.

Good luck and well done on your loss so far xx

 

[LVP123]

Thank you! Wow 4 stone that's good. I really hope I have good losses every week and get to target!! I am going to start exercising next week once I've shaken off the shingles and cold xx

 

[Sammysmiles]

You must have great willpower to carry on when sick, good for you *hugs x

Thank you xx
