    Sensibly? 3 - 6lbs. Anymore than that and something's amiss, not enough nutrition, and you end up piling it back on, and more.

    then another half a stone.. so a stone and a half in 3 weeks is doable but I wouldn't advise it

    sensibley like hunnypot said 6 pounds :yes: you're only meant to lose 2 pounds a week.. not 2 pound a day :o

    6 pounds is how many kilos?

    and would it make a difference i.e. visualy?

    If you want it to make a visual difference, its not just exercise and eating sensibly that will matter, it's toning in the right areas.

    Where specifically are you worried about the weight? for example, if it's your stomach, situps and crunches should be a main part of the exercise routine.

    TBH, most people don't need to lose weight, but just tone up.

    And once you turn fat into muscle, you'll automatically weigh more, as muscle is heavier than fat!

    your best bet is, while losing weight sensibly, to hold yourself really tall and avoid starchy foods that might make you bloat. this'll make you look slimmer, even if you're not actually losing a vast amount of weight. dressing cleverly can help too.

    if you lose too much weight too quickly, bad things can happen. you can REALLY balls up your body. take it from me.

    i really wouldn't recommend losing lots of weight quickly, i did one time and it messed up my periods and my immune system went crazzy and i got really ill.

    why not try changing your wardrobe to clothes that flatter the bits of your body that you're really comfortable with?
