Hiya everyone :)

I feel like I'm on the right track, I've lost 6 pounds so far and am currently struggling to shift the last pound!

I'd ideally like to be 9 stone but I'm struggling to lose that stubborn fat off my thighs/buttocks.

I want my hips back to 34 inches they are currently 37.

I'm happy with my bust 34 inches and waist 26.5 inches.

Just to advise I have been 34/26/34 before when I was 20 but my diet wasn't good I wasn't eating enough and I want to do this right and maintain it rather than cram a load of exercise in and then just put it back on, what's the point lol.

Anyway I'd love some advice :)

    Set your goal to .5 lb. per week, and be patient.

    Hiya,

    Thanks I've read them and I'm already doing what's advised on them.

    I'm also worried that I may be doing too much cardio a week.

    I've got an open diary what do you think?

    What sort of exercise do you do? Losing 1 more pound is not going to take 3 inches off your hips. :wink:

    Hiya,

    Take a look at my exercise diary to see what exercise I do :)

    When I can I try and include 2 weight training days which usually consist of between 10-16kg kettle bell swings, squats, pull, twists and some calesthetinics (can't spell that lol) training times for weights are usually around 30-45 mins.

    I understand that getting down to 9 stone 4 from 9 stone 5 won't make me lose 3 inches lol my main goal is 9 stone.

    I don't want to aim to low too soon, I'd rather do it gradually just to see what I can maintain.

    All advice is very much appreciated.

    Where the weight comes off is entirely determined by genetics. Just keep exercising & eating at a small deficit.
