Ok, so I'm suddenly going on holiday with 6 girls in 1 month from now. They're all incredibly healthy/fit and ... I'm not. Currently 12st, and I would love to be 11st but I don't know if this is a viable goal.
I don't exercise at all. 3 flights of stairs and I'm gonna need to lie down. Having said that, when I do get into a patch where I work out, I drop weight fairly rapidly. I want to know if my goal is achievable, and whether if can be done by simple calorie control and running.
Any other advice welcome, I'm willing to take up Bulimia, but I will not be taking heroin.

Your computer's conversion is off. 12 stone is 168 lbs. 11 stone is 154 lbs. To the OP, your goal is certainly achievable, if you can stay disciplined. Here's a few tips regarding diet: 1) Drink a lot of water every day (minimum 2 litres, preferably 3). 2) Limit your intake of sugar. Stick to natural sugars (fruits), as opposed to refined/processed. 3) Eat breakfast every morning (oatmeal is great). 4) Don't eat past 9 or 10 p.m. at the latest. 5) Cut out all other beverages -- milk, juice, soda, liquor, beer, etc. It's rough, but if you drink even half as much beer as the typical British university student does (I would know), this will make a huge difference. Feel free to resume on your trip, and consider that your reward. As for exercise, it doesn't sound like you're looking for a major lifestyle change or anything. Try and find something you can do enjoyably, whether running, swimming, rowing, football, etc. A good mix of cardio and weightlifting should do the trick (if you get into the latter, focus on big muscles, with squats, dead-lifts, bench press, lat pull-downs). Your biggest strength gains should be in the beginning anyway. You won't get ripped, but should be able to reach your goal. Anyway, post some photos of these beezies! I'm thinking six of them will be too many for one guy, and you might need a SF friend to divvy them up with
