[curveappeal]

Great going katie so well done...

You are doing so well xx

 

[Katie85]

Thank you curve xx

Still 100%. Feeling more focused than I ever have which is a good thing. Still have my hard days but try to keep myself busy. Today is a good day as feel full of energy, I think that's to do with my weigh in tomorrow ... Excited

 

[curveappeal]

Ah that's great to hear.. Focus and determination are certainly a must on a diet like this... Once you are in the zone the job gets done!!!

Good luck tomorrow can't wait to hear xx

 

[Katie85]

Well I had my 3rd weigh in today and I lost an amazing 5lbs. Completely over the moon and I am 3lbs off 2 stone. Feel on top of the world

still 100% and more motivated than ever. I had a little blip before weigh in about how it's such a long way to my overall goal but weigh in spurred me on and got my mind back on track.

im going to set lots of mini goals this week and tomorrow I am introducing exercise .. Eeek

 

[Katie85]

Still 100%. Seems to be getting easier now im in week 4. Cannot wait for the 4th weigh as just want 3lbs to have a total 2 stone off.

This week I have started to incorporate exercise as I feel ive the energy now to do so. So it is swimming 3/4 times weekly and decided to do a exercise dvd at home 3/4 times a week, I ended up picking a Claire Richards one. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

 

[curveappeal]

Aww that's amazing... I'm not gonna get near a 2 stone loss... You must be thrilled!!!!!

 

[JoanieK]

Wow that's great and kudos on the exercise- I bought an exercise machine last weekend but it keeps blowing my trip so need to get the electrician to it sort out!

 

[Katie85]

Still 100% but cannot seem to sleep today arghhh .. Don't know if my new found exercise has shocked my body into staying awake lol.

I have enjoyed the swimming but the getting into the pool and feeling like a whale in a swimming costume is really daunting. But needs must. The dvd I don't find intense enough, like I don't work up a sweat doing it so going to find another .. I've had Davina McCalls recommended so I'll try that. I'll keep up the current one until I purchase it though.

Aww that's amazing... I'm not gonna get near a 2 stone loss... You must be thrilled!!!!!

Thank you you have much less me to lose curve Hun so you already look amazing I bet x

Thank you
oh that's rubbish, hope you get it sorted. Thankfully none of my new found exercise requires electrics. Although I would love a spinning bike (too fat to join a class) x

Wow you've done so well with the exercise - have you seen the video this girl can on you tube ? The world can never see that enough - I watch it every day

The British sports council investigated why woman won't exercise and the answer wasnt that they couldn't afford it or fit it in it was about the fear of what other people will think of them in terms of appearance / fitness levels etc. what has society done to us?!

 

[JoanieK]

Hon believe me you are not too fat to join a class- any trainer worth their salt will be delighted to see you come through the door and give you encouragement. The skinny minnies that judge they don't want to see as a good trainer wants to see someone trying to improve themselves and giving everything!

yeah I've seen that video, I follow their account on Twitter too. The appearance thing is defo the reason I've not exercised in a gym or class etc ... I'm sure the confidence will come the smaller I get.

I just feel everyone stares and judges but they probably don't .. IVe been swimming everyday this week and it gets no easier does the walk to the pool but I'm sure it will. Really would love to join a spinning class or netball team but I think I am just too big to keep up or physically do it.

Still 100% though.

 

[JoanieK]

Katie I understand that, part of my motivation is to take my wee one swimming at easter for her birthday and I dread the poolside walk of shame!

Spinning would be good for you those bikes are strong and you build fitness rapidly, after about 5 classes you're flying! Plus no-one over ran a marathon without taking the first red faced steps!

 

[Katie85]

That's so true Joanie thank you Ive purchased a spinning bike, it's getting delivered next week. I'm lighter than than the weight restriction on it so will feel at ease. Maybe if I like it and get the hang of it I can join a class. X

 

[JoanieK]

Katie- see if you can download spinning class vids on Youtube, I find the way they switch the pace and the music tempo helps get you through the time and up your fitness so quick!

 

[Katie85]

Awww what a great idea, thank you Joanie x

still 100% .. Weigh in tomorrow cannot wait.

 

[JoanieK]

Oh let us know how you get on with WI!! There are classes on YouTube or I'm sure there would be dvds you can buy that would help?

Dying to hear katie... Xx

4th weigh in today and lost 6lbs I honestly could not be happier. I cannot believe that I have lost 2 stone and 3lbs in 4 weeks. Now that just makes it all so worth it.

A long way way to goal but almost 1/5 of the way there. Thank you for all your continued support x
