How much weight can I lose in 9 weeks?

**Anne** · 19-05-2012, 05:36pm

Holy crap, Ive just realised I will have to get out in a swimsuit in front of the rellies in 9 weeks when we go on a family holiday. I dont have a choice about this, so I now have a good reason to kick my butt into gear. But where to start?

I have Myfitness pal on my iphone to help, but how should I go about this? I am a member of a gym, so can enlist help there. However I like my food, esp the crap!

Arrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

help!

I lost 15lb with slimmers world in about that time

Yes I would have thought a stone was eminently possible, particularly if you are going to the gym etc as well as watching what you eat.

Definitely start logging what you are eating - it's quite an eye opener

Does your gym do plans such as bikini body or inch loss? I find they work for me and better value than a personal trainer.

A stone is certainly do-able. And what fifi said about logging everything is really important - and weigh portions too, don't guess!

4lb in the forst week then 2lb each week after would make erm erm hang on wheres my calculator (20lb) so give or take a crap week well over 15lb i would think

I did an 8wk inch loss program with the gym; it included nutritional advice, 1 group session a week (15min support chat & 45mins circuits/spin/step etc) then 2 additional sessions a week they were meant to be up to 3 in a group with a personal trainer but 90% of the time I was the only one there. I was really motivated so doing that plus at least 2 more gym sessions a week (I wasn't working!) but after all those roti boms in Malaysia I needed something drastic! I lost 5 inches off my waist and a couple of my ass & muffin tops - in all it added up to 11inches in 8wks. It cost £140 but so worth it. You can do it too
