Thank you! Just wanted informed opinions like so. I have zero knowledge when it comes to any of this so wanting to find out what’s true and what’s nonsense. I’ll keep to counting calories and exercise, it’s been working but as I say, has slowed.

She’s a dietician and fitness fanatic so I assumed it was a legit thing 😂 Will go back to basics.

Just keen to change things up a bit because my weight loss has slowed up! And someone in work mentioned it, thought I’d ask around and see if it’s a thing or not.. doesn’t seem to be!

Only asking if anyone’s done it and for some opinions on nutrition.. No need to be dismissive!

http://calorieshiftingguide.com/the-17-day-diets-metabolic-confusion-diet-how-it-really-works/ Think it’s also known as calorie cycling? I’m doing well with my good old calorie counting though so was only really keen to try the high/low carb days if it’s worked for anyone

Apparently the constant changing “confuses” the metabolism which raises it, therefore you’re burning more fat.. so loosing weight! But I don’t know if it’s a load of rubbish, wanting to know if anyone’s given it a go and if it works!

So great to hear everyone’s goals! It makes it more real to know there’s people in a similar position - we can do this! :) I’ve tried and failed so many diets and weight has just kept creeping up! Determined to do it this time, not just for a wedding date but for life like @cocorhum says!

Aw that’s so nice of you, thank you!! Great hints and tips. Yes I’ve picked my dress and think it will actually have a corset style fastening - I was worried about the whole dress fitting scenario! Thanks so much for the support :)

New to the Scottish Borders, preciously Edinburgh 🙌🏻

Thanks everyone! Feeling motivated to get searching for new recipes :) Tonight was roasted butternut squash salad with sunflower seeds, spinach and feta! A new one in our house so it just helps to keep the motivation up. Thanks for all your suggestions! :)

Thank you all so much - so many hints and tips!! Really appreciate you all taking the time to type out your suggestions and help out these 2 newbies :) We went for a great big walk yesterday and are looking forward to building it up and heading into the hills (now well equipped with new knowledge!) but will take it easy…

Great tips! Yeah it’s definitely the squishiness I’m not fond of so will give the pressing a go. Thanks very much everyone! :)

Wow thank you so much everyone!! So much amazing advice, we’ve read through it all and are feeling really motivated. I think we’ll definitely start small - work our way up to a couple of hours brisk walking before we tackle the hills. We’re really lucky in that there’s loads of trails which are so we’ll sign posted and…

Thanks guys, great recommendations!! :) BBC Good Food is a great website, will need to have a good look through. I haven’t really used tofu - I’m not quite sure on the texture? Any tofu cooking tips??

If you’ve done it before, you can do it again :) Good luck!!

I’m starting this today! Is it easy enough for beginners? I’ve done a Pilates course before and loved it!

👍🏻 Good tips! Will pick up my pace when out with the dogs. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I’ve tried the c25k app and felt like I was dying during my first attempt and then gave up so will try it again in a better mind set :)
