So I put on all the weight I lost and a bit more on holiday so now I am officially the heaviest i have ever been :/
I have been roped into a 10k in 4 weeks time so hopefully the training will help to shift the weight.
CommentAuthorMichelleC961
Emily a good tip is to right a food diary of everything you eat in a day- often you can then work out where you are eating most calories, eg a bag of crisps at lunch everyday, a biscuit with tea - look at then swapping snacks for healthier options, often small things really do add up :-)

I have lost 2 stone with SW over he last 12 months. I managed to get to within 2 lbs of my target, but then had a massive fall of the wagon and now I'm 1/2 stone away from target. I'm finding it so hard now.
I wasn't engaged when I joined, and so was just doing it for me. Now we are engaged, I feel so much more pressure to keep on losing, but I just don't have the motivation. Yes I know, getting into a dress should be motivation enough - but I'm just not feeling it.
I'm going dress shopping at the beginning of September, so this may be the wake up call that I need.
I don't do any exercise as I just don't have the motivation or inclination.
Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan
CommentAuthorStephH96
Maxine, just make sure you don't buy a dress in the correct size when you are buying it if you want to use it as a motivator. I got a dress that fit ok and had no motivation whatsoever to lose any weight and so I only lost 1/2 stone out of 3 I wanted.
Been for a run tonight, total distance 2.07 miles, ran 1.7 miles of it non stop did a bit of walking and then ran the last 0.15 of it. Was able to row for 30 minutes last night non-stop which I'm quite proud of :)

That's great Mrs T.....
I've done the DVD a couple of times this week, been doing press ups and sit ups with an app every morning and I've been for a run twice this week. Don't think if lost pounds but defo lost inches!! I've been eating ok too this week.
Porridge for breakfast, rice and salad at lunch and fruit for snacks.
My skin is better and like I say, I've defo list inches. I'll measure this weekend and compare to next weekend and keep a note of it.
Ive set a challenge on run k33per to do at least 2, 1 mile runs in the next 2 weeks to get a months free subscription so fingers crossed I keep my goal! The dark nights pose a problem though xx

Hey all,
I took the plunge and purchased a 90day SSS from the body coach, I started on Monday and I am 1,5kilos down already! its hard work and a lot of prep involved but its mainly a matter of routine, I am hoping this is the plan I can stick too as I have wasted so much time and money on SW faffing around :(

is anybody doing the 30 day shred? I started it a while a go and it almost killed me and as per usual i gave up :')
and then i read that you aren't actually supposed to do it every day more like 3 times per week so I'm thinking of giving it another go and breaking it up with other workout throughout the week.

I just can't get into weight loss at minute. I know I really want to but I think I have a problem with food haha. Would have liked to lose three stone for next July but think my problem is I have my dress already and it fits me fine now. Any arm toning tips anyone? Got some right bingo wings going on over here

The SSS stands for Shift, Shape, Sustain. I lost 7lb in the first week with it! But I'm doing it by the books and y0utub3 videos.

I've started to take mil dog for a walk every morning once I've dropped LO off at nursery. It takes an hour to walk around the block so I do that everyday. The dog loves it. Hopefully it helps shift the weight I've put on since the wedding

Been doing really well with SW since I joined at the start of the summer, 2st 2lb lost so far :) 2st 8lb left til target.
Have been stepping up my exercise somewhat and doing squats, press ups and sit ups every day. Need to look into some DVDs to try next, someting easy before trying 30 day shred though lol
CommentAuthorEmmilou82
Well done FMW... That's a fantastic achievement xx
The 30 day shred is hard but perhaps modify it to your abilities initially and go light! You will soon get used to it and if I'm honest, I think it's by far the most effective DVD in terms of quick results xx

If you put it into a search on the bay it will come up. They are rubber rings which go around the big toe and have a magnet on them bottom, they work with acupressure and speed up the metabolism. I started wearing them about mid June time and that's when the weight started coming off.

That's the thing, I've had upped my exercise before, had started to lose a small amount but it increased when I started wearing them, so it could be a mixture of that, ive not changed my diet at all apart from maybe not eating as much bread as I used to eat.

Yep they are very cheap so even if they don't work it's not a great loss on the pocket. Who knows if mine have or if it's a mixture of other things but hey. Now I've booked the skydive I want to lose even more weight, if I could lose another two stone by the time I do it would be fab.

Emmilou, do you have RunK33p3r* that is a good app, you can access that for free and there are challenges you can do that motivate you. I use it all the time and you can do walking, running or log cycling.
Ive been thinking about buying a cross trainer to use at home - at least I can use it while I'm watching the tv.
