Jade's Journey To A Slimmer, Healthier Me! (Pictures etc.)

[gazter]

That really is magnificent!

Did you exercise before?

You diary has inspired me to begin exercising! I'm worried if I start swimming it'll affect my weight loss in a negative way due to muscle use but it seems to have the opposite affect for you

May I also have the recipe for the SW tikka masala please? xx

Exercise will only ever really give you a temporary gain, unless you start doing real hard muscle building. The exercise lessens so much building muscle as minimising the amount of muscle that you lose while on your diet.

Muscle takes more energy to maintain and nourish than fat does. If you lose muscle (and to a lesser extent fat) you reduce how many calories your body burns just to keep itself alive. This means that unless you maintain muscle mass your body it wont take much for your body to put on weight.

I lost sixty pounds in sixteen weeks doing SW and Couch to5K running programme combined....

I've lost 5lbs this week so a total of 5 stone 11.5lbs in 17 weeks and 18 WI's! ​

Thrilled! Got my 5 and a half stone award too!​

Really amazing. I keep trying to get myself inspired by your amazing portion control. I have the diet down to a tee, but i dont have the portion control. We started at more or less the same time...

Hi jade , i am from the 18's room . Was well jel of your weekly losses so having a butchers at your food diary. Brilliant to read and you are so very positive. My weight has stuck the same for 3 weeks and i only manage 1/to 2lb losses anyway. Having looked at your diary i have realised that i am not moving an ounce as much as you. I have to pull my finger out and get rid of this weight.

You have done so amazing so far. You are inspirational x

And i have written down what you have been wating :0)

Thank you for your advice, I just assumed working out would gain muscle and therefore gain weight

I really want to start the C25K programme and intend to once I've established the issue I have with my back, I have an MRI scan on Friday so I think by 1st August I'll know if I can start it or if it'll cause too much aggravation

Ive started swimming today - did 36 lengths without a break this evening. I'm hoping to go 4 times a week and hope that helps for the moment
