Oh great, welcome welcome! Weigh in with Lytham, join the daily Diary and let us know just how stubborn you are! We look forward to getting to know you - our a your eating and exercise patterns! :)

Your introduction reminds me of the joke about BMI charts - according to this chart, I’m, ermm, too short! 😂😂😂

lol oh yeah well you 've got to haven't you?!...we'll see what happens but i am really determined. i think i was born this way. of course it may all be a total failure but then...we'll cross that bridge when we come to it x lol

Slow and steady wins the race!

I‘m much more ambitious than I am stubborn... That’s not ideal for long term results , but this group really has helped me overcome the short term thinking and frustration. :)

Hi there. Have you been following a specific eating plan/diet or counting calories? Or do you attribute your weightloss purely to the C25K?

changing-woman profile image
changing-woman2 stone in reply toTANHAT

hi i don't attribute any of it to the C25K, that's inches not weight loss, it helps generally and with the metabolism that's all, no i just cut down. i vaguely count calories but that's it. lovely to meet you x

TANHAT profile image
TANHAT in reply tochanging-woman

Nice to meet you too!! That's definitely the most sustainable way to do it!! I have similar stats to you and on a similar path with regards roughly counting calories and upping my exercise so was just curious :)

changing-woman2 stone in reply toTANHAT

Good afternoon, I wish you well in your pursuit of achieving your weight loss schedule.

Would you consider the following suggestions:

Adopt a vegetarian & dairy diet.

Refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, vaping & ilicit drugs.

Pursue a solid cardiovascular programme supported with a medium intensity weights session.

I wish you well in achieving you target weight.
