Hey! I've returned today after two years, too! I'm with you, lets do this! 💪🏻

VegjoyP said it right! First of all, you are beautiful, you in that gorgeous dress made me smile <3 If you want to lose weight because it makes you feel better about yourself that that is your choice, you shouldn't continue to feel unhappy with you appearance due to somebody else's opinion. That being said, no weight is…

I don't have all of the answers, but in my experience, as soon as I start lifting weights I maintain my weight (and sometimes gain it!), this is because my muscles are getting bigger whilst I loose fat and therefore my weight it staying the same, but my fat percentage is dropping. It is so easy to get obsessed with the…

I used to be exactly the same, so I experimented with having is thinner, thicker, with different fruit, different flavours, and it took a long time to get it how I like it but I do quite enjoy it now! My usual go to though is yoghurt and granola, it's quick and easy and you can take it anywhere with you! (I keep my granola…

Thank you @Lietchi 😊 And congrats on your weight loss! Bloomin' tummies, can't be told, can they!? Haha.
-
@Lietchi very true, if that is the case that is very frustrating as its my tummy that needs to go first!! @Stockholm_Andy I used to use a measuring tape, bit terrified to give it a go as I was MUCH younger and slimmer 🤦♀️

Thank you all so much for your help and experience. I tend to be a bit impatient when it comes to weight loss (I've lost a 8kg in 8 weeks, so should probably give myself a break) and thought introducing a second, low impact workout might aid with that. However, I also understand that swimming for almost an hour six days a…

Thank you all so much for your insight! I think the take away from this is that our upbringing definitely effects our mindset; whether positive or negative; and due to that it can effect our relationship with food/exercise!

I have one cheat MEAL a week, not a cheat day because that allowed me to go a little overboard in the past! Once a week, instead of chicken and veg, I'll have a pizza. Just once a week! If I go for a meal one week, I skip the pizza and enjoy a meal out instead. Of course you can have chocolate cake, but maybe stop at one…

Ah, I never even considered that I could transition to jogging after my stamina improves! Thank you, Lietchi!!

This is going to sound really silly, but I used to walk daily and this stopped due to where I lived, why? Because my ex's family live up the road and I was terrified of bumping into them (they aren't very nice people, which is why he is an ex). Now I have moved I have a park LITERALY opposite my home, its huge and…

I'm terrified of the summer. This is the heaviest I have ever been during the summer seasons and I am roasting all of the time due to wearing black in an attempt to appear slimmer. Keep beating myself up; I have actually lost a stone and a half in the last 8 weeks but the results aren't fast enough for me to want to put my…

Oh my Gosh you absolute queen!! You look amazing, go you!!
-
A costa coffee; note to self way too expensive and way too many calories :blush:
-
Looking amazing!!
-
Ladies you are all on fire you're that hawt! Definitely inspiration to start lifting!!
-
boring meetings
-
@twinkles4 64 lengths in a 25m pool is a mile!! That's amazing! @Toronto6fan bloody covid getting in the way of our leisurely swims! How very inconvenient!
-
@KatSe2015 that sounds absolutely lush! I have never swum in a 50m pool, I am desperate to try it, and that coffee on the side sounds amazing. Might have to steal that idea!! @Toronto6fan I was swimming around that when I first got back into it too, you'll be swimming an hour in no time!!
-
I think, based on everybody's response, I may go for meal prepping as it appears cheaper and manageable (thanks you @claireychn074 for all those recommendations!) Whilst on the subject, however, do you think a protein shake would be enough for breakfast, as I can whip one of those up as I leave for the gym?
-
Batch cooking is not a bad idea at all! Probably be a lot cheaper too! Do you have any recommendations? Wouldn't that be fab! Never have to cook lunch again! hehe
-
Thank you all for your support and advice! I'd eventually LOVE to have a six pack, hence the toning question! Hehe. I'm going to up my lifting once I have a routine with my swimming (so far I do a mile every morning barre one) I'm going to incorporate weight lifting twice a week. I am in the process of getting counselling,…
-
Sounds like he was quite the bachelor!! Haha! I'm not too concerned about gaining weight afterwards, as I do have the tools and the knowledge. The main issue is standing and waiting 30 minutes for my brown rice to cook after getting back at 6pm from work!! Think I will take a leaf out of your husbands book with this one…
-
Unfortunately, I tend to skip meals as I have no time to prepare before/at work or I simply forget whilst at my desk. I wondered if something like this, as a single woman with a busy job and a social life, may be the way forward as it is set out three meals per day (sometimes I have only one meal a day and I'm not a…

You look amazing, and weight gain/loss fluctuates all of the time. Cut yourself some slack :smile:
