Hi All, new to this!! I'm here basically looking for some tips on getting in shape before a summer holiday :D

I'm looking to lose a stone in 12 weeks and also try and get in some sort of shape!! I wondered what the best methods are to achieve this!! Apart from the obvious eat healthier and exercise does anyone have any good advice??

Any help would be much appreciated :)

    Hi
    From the look of your picture, I'd say you just need to cut out any 'junk' food, fatty, sugary stuff; you know what I mean? and start walking or jogging regularly. If you have weights or can get to a gym with some weights that will help create muscle which ups your metabolism too. Good luck, you can do it.

    Sitting in an office can be rough, drink lots of water at your desk, it helps keep the cravings for the junk food down!!

    My bf has lost 18lbs in seven weeks following low carb (we are doing www.pig2twig.co.uk but it is basically less than 20g carbs pr day). He plays squash and football, but weight loss is mainly due to diet change as he hasn't upped the exercise

    I have a sitting job as well and it's challenging but you can do it. I agree with all the other comments....cut out junk/fatty foods. Try to plan your food.....especially when you're at work. Eat lots of fruits and veggies....and I chew a piece of gum everyday at around 3pm. I get hungry even though I shouldn't be, if I pop a piece of gum it'll usually help. Best of Luck!!!!

    I think I'm aiming for 14pounds in 12 weeks, by reading other posts seems achievable! I do miss playing Football on a Sunday need to get back into that! I only started tracking everything I ate the other day and so far haven't fell off the wagon!! Need to cut the processed rubbish out!! Definitely going to try the gum advice thanks :D I better wait until I'll have a look into the 30DS sounds good!
