yes it possible as long as you eat sensibly but beware it is a lot to loose in such a short time. |

In order to lose the weight and to keep it off, you must lose it slowly - no more than 3 pounds a week.
if you start now, that is exactly 3 pounds a week between now and the 1st October |

two pounds a week - a stone is an old Imperial British measurement equivalent to 14 pounds and was alaways used to register body weight before we got these damn pesky metric units! |

I've lost 5 lbs in a week before, but that's working at the limit of what is healthy.
Also consider the fact that if you are working out, you're going to trade fat for muscle weight. In other words, you can end up slimming down quite a bit without losing much weight, whereas many people lose a few pounds but still look totally fat.
Get into the gym and lift, it helps a lot. |

How much is a stone and a half in POUNDS?
Probably 2, 4 or 6 POUNDS in a week is reasonably safe to achieve.
Remember, most of the first couples weeks the weight you lose is water! After that, the real weight starts coming off. |

Yes it is possible. The first week of a diet, you tend to lose the most weight anyway, although this is mostly water retention.
It is healthy, as long as you are not starving yourself, and you are exercising. |

1-2 lbs.
the quicker you loose it seems like the quicker it comes back.
As the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race.
some of us Americans don't know how much a stone is... ; ) |

Shouldn't be a problem. 2lbs a week is a healthy loss per week. Step up your exercise too, that will help. |

When I started losing weight I was told 2-3lbs. Its very frustrating to not lose more though, but slow and steady means you're more likely to keep it off. |

as a member of weight watchers i am told that it is healthy to lose between 1 & 1 1/2 pound a week. Basically the longer it takes you to loose weight, the more successful you are likely to be in keeping the weight off because you are retraining your eating habits.
It takes a while but stick with it, it'll be well worth it!! |

You should easily and healthily lose 2-3 lbs. a week but that depends how overweight you actually are.
Normally people will lose alot in water for the first few weeks so you could potentially see a dramatic loss in your weight if you work out daily and cut your calories.
The only problem with losing alot of weight quickly is that you will not have trained your mind and body to realise that it is a lifestyle change that will make you keep the weight from returning.
Your body will constantly be wanting to get back into it's old way of life. So this is why, losing weight slowly and over a longer period of time ends up with better long term results. Over a longer period of time your body and mind will become more accustomed to eating healthy and exercise. It will forget the old lifestyle habits.
That's the real trick.
But you can certainly lose your desired amount in the time frame you want to - but a word of caution - make it last and don't stop after November 1st otherwise the weight will all return. |

Upper safe limit of 2lbs a week. There are 141bs to a stone so it should take a minimum of 17.5 weeks.
Good luck. |

When i attended Weight Watchers they advised about 1-2 pounds a week.
This way the weight stays off. If you loose any more than this you're more likely to put it all back on again. |

2lbs a week is desirable...but definitely no more than 4lbs! |

Well it depends on how much your current stats are. As a rule of thumb, if you want the weight loss to be healthy and longer lasting you should only be aiming to lose a maximum of a pound or two a week. In which case I would say that it should be no more than a stone you should aim for by November 1st.
If you are significantly overweight it may come off fast the first few weeks, but if you are fairly average weight it will take longer.
If you are already at a healthy body mass index or less than the optimum then please reconsider losing that much weight. |
