Lose 5 stone

hi everyone i am 5ft7 and weigh 17st 10 and i am so depressed at being this weight when i used to be 10 stone when i was 18, i am 26 now i started to put weight on with my first child who is now 4 years old and i lost a stone after i had him, then piled it back on when i got pregnant with my now 17month old daughter i am so dessperate to get back into my jeans or even where a dress i have started my diet today and my exercise is made up of 1 hour walking the dog and 30 to 45 mins horse ridding each day, i just need motivation to keep it up, anyone wanna help me do this? really i want to lose 6 stone. so fingers crossed

A combination of bad lifestyle after something unexpected happened, the gym 3 times a week and eating better has led to me losing 4 stone in the past year. The last stone is harder to shift but my body shape is changing through using the gym and going to fitness classes.

well i really do need to lose 5 stones within 2 months max.. um i do tend to eat junk food.. but to put me off from eating i gulp down about 8 glasses of water in the morning before breakfast and then 8 glasses of water in the evening.. that really helps i feel much healthy.. and i dont feel any hunger at all.. i know it is allot of water intake but its worth it!

not in a shallow or desperate way….but im short and curvy and seeing as i can’t grow taller im gonna have to drop a little curve

i eat well….my boyfriend cooks amazing meals i eat fresh fruit and veg i just think i eat too much and move too less. i want to achieve this but feel that im not miserable enough with myself to do anything about it! anyway good luck to me and all who share this goal

so how do you lose 5 stone

Currently focusing on ‘lose 4 stone’ but once that is done I’ll be on here :)

Am now over half way there with 41lb gone and 35lb to go! :)

32.4lb to go!

I just worked out that I need to lose 35.9 more lbs to have lost 5 stone BUT I have already lost 34.1 so that means I’m ALMOST half way!! That makes me feel so good and like there is actually a light at the end of this tunnel!

Good luck everyone! :)

I’m not even half way there yet but I’m determined not to give up and I know I’ll be at target by December :)

I’ve always been overweight by around 2 stone and was happy with that. I had a late miscarriage 2 years ago and found it hard to lose the weight I had gained.
Five months ago I was blessed to have healthy son & my weight went to 16 stone. I’m now 14 stone 10oz and 5’ 4” and want/need to lose 4-5 stone – not only for my own health but to ensure my son has a fit mum who can keep up with him.
I had the willpower to stop smoking when I was pregnant and have resisted the urge to take it back up but struggle to maintain healthy eating habit.
On top of having a new (and very demanding!) baby, my mother has a terminal illness so with all that going on I’m finding it hard not too comfort eat.
It would be lovely to talk with other people who are also struggling to lose weight for whatever reasons.
