Just starting week 2

[country_bumpkin]

I am giving the 12 week weight loss program a try. I gained a lot of weight in my final year of undergraduate and during masters. This weight I struggled to lose after the masters and now I am working in academia I find activity can be low. It does not help that its very easy to work from home rather than go into the office.

Starting out I was at 17st 7lb and managed to lose 5 lbs in week 1. This seems to be working much better than other attempts. I did at one stage try Weight Watchers and that brought limited weight loss over a few months.

Feeling optimistic for the rest of the weeks.

Hi there, Well done on your incredible week 1 & welcome aboard.

I've been on this forum only a couple of weeks now but I've found it a massive help and inspiration. (I'm pretty much 'desk-bound' with my work as well but I also find it very hard indeed to get off my bum and do any form of exercise so that is proving a challenge at the moment). Having said that I've managed to shift a bit of weight over the last two weeks (6lbs in total) I've found that having some small -ish goals has helped and I've also been tracking my calories with 'my fitness plan' which I've found really useful too.

Hope you have an equally successful week 2.

All the best

Ruth
