How much weight can someone lose in a year?

Random

Realisically if completely determined with daily exercise and healthy eating how much can a person lose in 12 months? From one weight to a target weight of 15 stone.

From 18 to 15 stone?
From 20 to 15 stone?
From 22 to 15 stone?
From 24 to 15 stone?

Assuming they got proper guidance on the exercise and healthy eating fronts.

Thanks

All of those are possible.

I suppose the more fat you're carrying the more you can lose over the same timescale.
However,losing fat and continuing to lose it safely isnt always easy,thats why quick-fix diets tend not to work.
Fatloss should never be dramaticly fast,but slow and steady.
A figure of 2-3lb a week should be do-able although it may take six weeks to notice fatloss as your body needs time to adjust.

Common wisdom says 100-105lb is about the most you can drop before losing muscle (2lb/week). There's so many other variables at play tho that estimates don't really matter.

Simply, the more you have to lose, the more you can lose.

Sometimes to motivate myself i just think about how if i keep up training for one year, just ONE year. I could easily(i use the word loosely) get to the weight i want to be at.

One year, in the grand scheme of things, is nothing really.

Doesn't really work out like that though:(

since December i've gone from 108kg to 90kg.
thats gym 3 times a week
routine main consists of 15 mins on stairmill, 18 mins on cross trainer, 18 mins on treadmill, 5 mins rower, and then a few machines.

diet still pretty ****, but started eating breakfeast ever day, and swopped bars etc for fruit. bananna and orange cheaper than a mars bar in most garages so you save a few cents too....
