  • I've started slimming world to get the discipline I need instilled in me, once I've got to target il be happy :-) lost 3.5pounds last week and weigh in again tomorrow, hoping to hit my half stone :-) starting the insanity workout this week aswell :-) only motivation is dress shopping after Xmas xxx

  • This thread makes me feel so guilty, i dont think ive lost anything since signing up. To be fair ive just started a new and rather stressful job andbhavent been feeling great recently (nothing major) and combined with the dark nights i just cang be bothered

    however ive just been looking at the couch to 5k and i think i might give that a go. I like that the person talks you through it and might try it with oh so were both in it together. Need to get some proper weight shifted! Watch this space lol
  • Doing it with the OH is my only way of doing it! Means I can't be cheating! LOL He keeps me honest! :)

  • I've lost another 2.5lb this week (although if I'd've took my shoes off it would've been 3.5! Who knew shoes were so heavy?) so almost at my half stone and clothes are already feeling a bit looser :-) now it's treat day so I can have my cupcake and sweets and start again later :-) xxx

  • well done trixie!! I weighed myself this morning in the gym and it doesn't tally up with what I WI at home as so I'm gonna have to get new scales!

    I've been very good today, picturing myself in my dress is helping!

    well I've been running 3 times a week, not seeing much movement on the scales, but I hope that I'll be slimming down and toning up. Will give it a good 6 weeks before I start to look for results, but I feel great :)
  • I have been doing the 30 day shred dvd - 20 mins work outs that combine abs, cardio and strength. As they're so short I can't really make excuses not to do them... motivation is so hard to muster. Can definitely feel a difference - everything is toning and shrinking (mainly down to the strength exercises I think) so the advice about adding in weights, squats, lunges etc is good. Have also cut out bread and most carbs in the week which seems to be helping. Only...22 days to go! Eeeeeeek!
  • hi only lost 1lb this week but at least its something. thats 9lb total so far

  • Well done Runaway! I lost 4lbs (apparently!) between last week and this week. I'm not sure if it was the scales or the paleo diet but I am definitely sticking with this! I have to for the sake of my dress!
