Weight Loss Resolution

[Kirsty :]]

Well done Sibohan thats amazing!!!... I'm struggling to hit 1/2 stone! I',m playing with the same 1lb and now after going to London... I'm just going to feel liek I'm starting all over again tomorrow when they tell me I've put 1/2 stone back on!!

Oohh good luck Kath, you can do it!

Also, isn't it bad to cut things out of your diet completely? I thought little bits of everything was needed to keep healthy... just to not go overboard?

You are right, Kirsty, to lose weight and keep it off you need a balanced diet of everything, fat, carbs and protein. And of course the dreaded word (for me, anyway ): exercise

[Siobhan]

Perdy.. you can be amazed what a little exercise can be... I am only starting doing proper exercise (2 dance classes a week) prior to that I was losing weight just be eating right and walking.. get off the bus a stop earlier, park your car a bit further from the shops etc... very simple things. I got a pedometer and it started with 6000 steps a day and towards the end was up to 10,000 steps... I don't do much at work (chained to my desk mostly) but just have the pedometer I was aware I should walk more

[Perdita]

I do most of what you suggest, apart from getting off the bus earlier .. I live in a littile village and need the car to get to work, else I would never make it on time, because the bus service is rare. I have a nordic walker exercise machine at home and use it at times, just not as often as I should. I am awake at between 4 and 5 in the morning (OH is a snorer ) and get home from work at 5 pm, then doing tea/washing/ironing... too tired to exercise. Belly dancing once a week, have brought the music cd to work to see if I can motivate myself to practice in my lunch break

[Siobhan]

Park your car in the furthest car park space, use stairs instead of lifts, get up and walk around the office.. little things.. I don't have much time for exercise either and I would never have the motivation to go to a gym or work at home...

Well Done Siobhan

[Meh]

Its time for me to get fit again. Last time I got down to 11st 7lbs. Target is the same this time

I'll weight myself later to see how much I have to lose. I reckon a couple of stone

[freckleface]

I really need to cut down before christmas.

[Hollie-x]

Same! although i have been dieting since going back to college and have dropped a dress size - and that's only in 6 weeks. Just been eating less and more healthily and walking a lot more. Defo time for a big change in the new year though!

[freckleface]

well done with the dropping a dress size!
I hate my size.
I'm too big. I'm struggling to keep my weight even.
