Sorry to all that may have read my previous posts , I’m on W6 R3 tomorrow 👍 fab for me , I’ve always been unfit . However, I’m disappointed that there’s no visible change to my flabby tummy, thighs & bum 😫 plus my weight hasn’t changed ( I’m not overweight, but losing a few pounds can be beneficial )
My fitness has definitely improved massively & I’m a huge advocate for this programme & I’ll never give up . I’m just confused as to why I’ve noticed no changes physically ? 🤔
I think this is a really interesting post. I’m four weeks in and have had a similar though (about me not you) but I think we have to ask ourselves, what are we doing it for?I started cause I’m fat and unfit.
But it’s the unfitness that is my focus - I want to be healthier, what about you?
If the main aim is to be fitter, faster, breath better and have a healthier heart, then YAY! We doing good.
The best of luck to you
My weight hasn’t really changed but that will only change significantly if you change your eating habits alongside running. I’ve found my tights and calves are harder and my wife reckons my butt is firming up too (seems to be confimed by her random ass groping)!
Stick with it, to eat healthy choices and it will happen.
Weirdly, feel fitter aside from my back issues and look firmer but my measurements, my waist especially is no slimmer... still, I’m enjoying the programme loads... 🤗
My weight is only dropping slightly but my measurements have reduced a lot. 6cm off tummy in 5 weeks. Have you tried taking photos each week? It may be there isn’t a diff but they are too slow to notice each week?
I started Couch about 5 stone over weight. I shed very little weight during it.
However, moving to regularly running three x 30 minutes or more (especially when running 5ks, which still take me more than 30 minutes) the weight started to drop. And moving up towards 10k runs it positively shifted.
Since graduating in June I’ve lost over half my excess weight and still falling.
My biggest piece of advice is use the NHS BMI calculator, find your current calorie consumption recommendation and go towards the lower end, use My Fitness Pall to really track your calories, and as your weight drops revisit the BMI calculator and revise downwards your daily calories using its advice to avoid plateauing.
Good luck!
(Similarly with tone - my legs have totally transformed since graduating.)
