loose a stone in 6 weeks ??? HEEELP

Well at the min I'm 10 stone = 64kg. I will weigh myself on saturday and see if I've lost any....

I knew right away what she meant by stone, made me think of when I read Bridget Jones' Diary several years ago. But I still didn't know how much a stone actually was (in pounds or kilos) so happy to finally know.

Just to give you girlies an update, I've been on " The Scarsdale Medical Diet" for the past week and I can't believe it but I've lost 7 pounds in a week !!! I love this diet, not sure if any one knows of it ? It is form the USA came out in the 70's depending on how much you need to loose you can loose up o 20 pounds in 2 weeks !! I deffinatly recomend it, its been the ony diret I've been able to stick to ever, its easy, no weighing or calorie couting, its baisically a low carb diet plenty of meat / fish / veggies and fruit but.... and there is a BIG BUT.....ARE YOU READY ??...... No alcohol for 2 weeks - yes you heard me right TWO WEEKS but its sooooo worth it, if your interested GOOGLE it you can get the book off the net, I paid £1 for a second hand one, its ow my bible !!! Just another 7 pound to go before 25th July

Way to go! I'm glad you found something that works for you. Good luck losing the other 7 lbs, I'm sure you won't have any problems.

That is awesome!! Congrats on your weight loss.
