If you average 1200-1500 calories a day and exercise modestly you can expect to lose 3-6 pounds a week or even more. How many pounds in a stone?

Good luck!!

A stone is 14lb. Average loss with a band is between 1 - 2lb per week. Generally the heavier you are the quicker you lose initially. So if we call a month 4 weeks you can expect loss to be between 4 and 8lb per month. You are looking to lose 21lb or an average of 5.25lb per week. That is a lot, yes you might lose it in the first couple of months but it is unlikely that you will lose this amount regularly.

I know lots of bandsters.Some have lost in excess of 60kg (132lb) but that is in a period of 2 years or more. I do know one person who has lost 60kg in approx 15 months which is pretty incredible.That is an average of 2.2lb per week.

I wish you much success.
