Cardio cardio cardio.

Try core/abs HIIT workouts

Reduce wheat intake - bread especially - or any complex carb

Cut down on sugar

Reduce fat in diet (not remove)

Think my issue is living alone. I love food but hate being fat, so every now n then i will lose a couple of stone and im quite regimental and good at losing it. However since i seperated 9 months ago, i just cant do it, its like i want to but there is no target or reward for doing it. Its tough but need to find a way.

There's not much to add to that other than a bit of self discipline. That's the hardest part for most

I'm not dieting

The word in itself promotes angst and almost a battle

That's easy for me to fight against mentally

I take smaller steps

So, at the minute, I am not eating bread, I am drinking less coffee and more water

I am also only having carbs in one meal a day

I don't weigh myself, a mirror is testimony to the fact I am overweight

It does seem to be working though

I am already feeling the benefits in terms of increased energy levels and my clothes feeling looser than they work

I know this approach wouldn't work for everyone, some people need the regimentation of a planned diet or the support of a group

Do what works for you and switch it up when you feel you need to

My next steps are having the carbs with lunch as opposed to in the evening and re-joining the gym

Good Luck OP

Make your health and your own happiness your reward. Or learn to enjoy/accept being fat?

The latter is easy, the former is where I fail badly.

Not all of us can lift weights but for me personally a quick fix which I swear by is the keto diet

Hard work but really works if u are strict

There's only one correct answer to this. Put yourself into a moderate calorie deficit. That's it. Plain and simple. How you do it is up to you. Exercise or no exercise. Bread or no bread. It doesn't matter. If you are in a calorie deficit (meaning your intake is a few hundred less that your maintenance cals) you WILL lose weight.

Being alone makes it easier as you are in control of what you buy.

The maths is correct but take care of nutrition.

a varied and healthy diet is still needed.

I've lost 2 stone since January. I was working out regularly (weights) but ended up with a problem with my knee which I assume is because my form is poor, I think I need to see a personal trainer because I actually really enjoyed it.

The bit I struggle most with is making sure I'm eating well...I can easily go a day without proper nutrition but that impacts my ability to exercise as well as being downright unhealthy. I find it incredibly difficult to know what to eat, when and how much without it intruding on my life to the point it becomes obsessive.

You’re not alone! I have a predilection for biscuits - although I know they’re wrong. I have lost 3 stone since a couple of years ago and have done it by eating totally normally, with a few snacks/treats here and there as I fancy, and working out.

There are some really good low impact HIIT workouts I can share with you if you wish. Well done on losing 2 stones - wow!

Well maybe for you, be the hours of being alone without support doesnt work for me. I need to have a reward at the end like i knew i was going on a Hol to NZ, that was great motivation. Cant afford a Hol now but maybe if one of u girls offer me a night of raunchy passion if i lost 2 stone by a certain date, it might be the motivation i need hahahaha.

Its just occurred to me that i was diagnosed with being on the cusp of thyroid just before lockdown. I was given medication, but didnt want to take it because i was just in the acceptable range.. I wonder if it has deteriorated and that is why despite walking 7-10km daily I'm actually putting on weight, not loosing it?

Or maybe it's just my age

That's how I've lost it this time, I eat normally just a little less and move more. I've spent years doing every 'diet' known to man but always piled it back on plus a bit because it wasn't sustainable. Cheese is my nemesis! If there's any in the house it'll find it's way to my mouth

I'd be very interested in the workouts, I'm really missing working out.
