How did you lose the 3 stone? Were you using a calorie controlled, low fat diet?

TweedygirlRestart April 2024 in reply tomoreless

yes x I restricted my calories and I had some stress going on which helped! - but I didn't exercise and it meant I am now a bit wobblier then I would like!

I just slipped back into old habits and put 6lb on so I need to lose it again x

You may find that you need to swap it up a bit. Calorie restriction leads to a lowering of your metabolic rate. Reducing carbs instead, could be the answer.

Start doing exercise that you enjoy and can see yourself sticking with, rather than going full steam ahead and giving up in a few week's time. Walking is a good place to start and then you might like to consider the Couch to 5K programme. I found that running tightened my tum better than anything else I tried. healthunlocked.com/couchto5k

oh perfect - not thought of carb restriction - this sounds like a good idea!!

I have already got the couch to 5k and I am hoping to start that tonight xxx I have a bad knee so I may just start walking - will see how I get on x

Thank you for all your help xx

Join our daily diary and you'll get all sorts of ideas and you might like to join this forum too healthunlocked.com/lchf-diet

If you have a bad knee, I would hold off on the C25K, until it's better and stick to walking :)

Hi, Tweedygirl

For weight loss in general, and particularly for getting off a "weight-loss plateau" (Intermittent) Fasting works well for most people, see:

healthunlocked.com/fasting-...

It seems to work particularly well in combination with the LCHF (Low-Carbohydrate, High-Fat) diet, see the forum here on Health Unlocked.

Welcome. Start fresh tomorrow with a weigh in and target and let the good times roll. Ur end goal is a good one. I used Disneyland Paris for mine and got 30 off. Now I’m aiming lower again. Mini goals for the next 11 months and you’ll smash it.

Not what you're looking for?
