Weight Loss Resolution

[Perdita]

Thanks Perdita. I'll certainly try going without sweetner at all. I don't use that much anyway.. half a teaspoon usually. I use whole milk .

I do love water so that should be easyish.. and cheaper too.. I'll think of the money lmao!

I really have no idea about walking clubs. I was thinking last night.. that I might go swimming once a week. The swimming pool is about half hour maybe more walk, so that's walking there and back and then the swimming.. that could help I think? I'll do the sit up and press up idea too.

Thanks loads .

Swimming is one of the best methods for exercise as it does not put a burden on your joints like jogging would do, and riding a push bike is also good for you. You can do a sort of sit-up when you watch TV or work in an office, sit near the front of the seat and lean back and forth, you can feel your tummy muscles tighten when you do that.

also i read that when your walking, if you pull your stomach muscles in then it helps to tone them

guys.. need a little help.. I am ok with getting exercise but for some reason my lower abdomen doesn't seem to be changing even with this.. I am not sure if it is cause I had a C- section and my muscle won't tone there due to be cut or if I am not doing something right

Anyone got any good tips for lower tummy exercises???

[Kirsty :]]

I'm only 16 so I can't help with the whole c-section thing sorry

I can try my best with the lower tummy muscles though.
At dancing we have to lie on our backs and lift both legs as high as we can and then lower them so that our feet aren't touching the floor for as long as we can.

I find that really helps!
I can't think of anymore off the top of my head but when I do I'll post them
Hope I was a little help if anything


My whole healthy eating thing is slowly going down the pan
I need to get back on track!!
It doesn't help in school when all my friends are stuffing their faces with crisps and chocolate lol.

Well, I am cooking cabbage soup as I type this to start a 7 day diet as prescribed by a cardiologist. My bellydancing teacher lost loads of weight, so she said, she is quite big and it does not show really but she reckons she lost around 16 kg in 3 weeks. I am desperate to lose at least 7 kg, prefer to lose 10 kg if I can so please keep your fingers crossed for me that I can keep it up for the week and that I lose some weight. Posting this here might keep me on the straight and narrow and I won't cheat. Can't have any alcohol and I do like my red wine

Perdy just be careful huney when you're on the cabbage soup diet. I tried it last year and lasted 3 days I was ill with the trotts, and I only have wine at the weekend not during the week.

Thank you Chloe, I have had to stop it because I came down with severe gastroenteritis and spent the last 24 hours in hospital on 5 drips. I certainly don't feel like continuing but I did lose 3 kg. I will curtail my wine to weekends only now, I believe my eating habits are healthy and low fat, could reduce the portions a little I suppose.
