All by myself with 6+stone to lose...

Christiee93

Heyy! I'm Christiee, I am 22, the minimum I want to lose is 6 stone.

I have zero fitness, like none, at all, walking is a struggle if I walk faster than snails pace. Yet..I've invested in Focus T25!

I'd love to have some friends on this journey? I live in the UK!

Welcome to MFP Christee,


You can definitely achieve this, even if walking is difficult. Focus T25 may be a bit like trying to drive in first gear, so give yourself some time to build up on it. You'll see it time and time again: the majority of weight loss comes from diet changes, not physical ones.

If you need a friend, advice, or just simple encouragement feel free to add me.

I had to Google Focus T25 thought it was a car lol.

Not sure I'm ready for that level of exercise but we are on the same journey and we will get there.

Good Luck

Hey everyone, I am just over 3 months in on my weight loss journey, I have lost 19lb so far and lots of fat! I would put it on parr with giving up smoking (which I did 3 years ago). The first two months are hell. Once you stick at it you actually start enjoying it!!!! Feel free to add me for support anytime

I quit smoking this new year just gone. This is definitely harder - losing weight. Been trying to lose weight longer than I was trying to quit smoking...difference is my weights gone up, my quit stuck.

I'm adding you now x

Keep calories at maintenance add the routine...you will lose.

Hi, you can do it, just concentrate on one stone at a time, I lost 7 stone, slowly though, about 18 months or so, all I did was diet and walking. Don't have to walk loads, just do what you can manage, and you'll find that over time you can walk further. Be kind to yourself and don't put too much pressure on by setting massive goals.

We are all different but it worked for me, good luck

I'm aiming for 7lb goals I want to do T25 as I use to be sooo passionate about sports and fitness so I want it to kick start my life again

Hi if you start with low calories you will get hungry then you snack then you stop losing weight and give up.
I started by putting everything on MPF for 2 weeks so i could see what i was eating then started knocking off calories a few hundred at a time (i was 18 stone now just under 15).
After the first 2 months i was down from 4000+ to 1880 and most days don't hit that if i'm going out i just do a bit more exercise to cover it that way i've found it a lot easier.
It can be a long journey but take it slow and you are more likely to hit your goals 173 days ago i joined and had never been inside a gym smoked and was very unfit today i done 1 hour on a cross trainer and 30 mins swimming so if i can do it anyone can .

Hiyah am from UK too. Watch the videos and see what you can manage. Be careful as I remember lots of jumping. You dont want to put too much pressure on joints. Maybe You can just modify to suit. Or maybe concentrate on getting fitter through walking first.


Good luck.
