I am 5ft 6 and weigh in at approximately 17stone or 238lb (I cant give an exact because I am terrified of jumping on the scales!) so I need to lose a grand total of 7stone or 98lb to reach a bmi of 25 or below.
Women lose weight at an average of 2lb each week. Men, the lucky sods, at an average of 2.5lb each week. I'd like to think if I make a real effort I can lose 2.5lb a week too.
98lb at 2.5lb each week is 40 weeks or there abouts.
So, I will set myself a goal date of Saturday 20th October.
That night I will be hitting the town, hopefully in a rather skimpy number !!!

You can find out your ideal weight here, but remember this is just a guide, not gospel, and the most important thing is that you are happy and feel good with yourself, no matter what your weight is !
