12-week plan

[P3YPS]

Just to say for those who may be just starting or are already in - keep going, it's really worth it. I completed my 12 weeks on Thursday and lost a total of 30 pounds! I wrote everything down I ate and did 40 minutes exercise (rowing/running) 6 days a week. I had a day off of the exercise when I felt I needed it. Try not to make it mundane and vary your meals. I used ready meals for my main dinners from all of the supermarkets depending on who had the best deals. This way I could keep a close eye on the calories. I have not finished my plan yet. I do not have a 'weight' goal in mind as I think I would have to have been dead 3 weeks in order to be what the experts claim I should be. I think I'll know when I'm there. Anyway, onwards and upwards - I'll let you know when I'm finished. Good Luck

Thank you so much for your inspirational post - it is really well timed! I'm just about to embark on Week 4 but I've hit a bit of a motivational blip.

I lost 4lb in the first two weeks, and then gained 2lb last week. The first 2 weeks I exercised 5 days each week - for between 45 and 60 minutes. This week, I suffered an MS relapse, which means that I need to be careful about my exercise while I adjust to my new symptoms, and I may have to go on steroids for a bit, which is never good for weight control. So I was feeling rather sorry for myself yesterday.

But seeing your post has re-invigorated me, and I know that I can do this. So thanks again!
