"I've lost 6 stone this year, from 19 to 13. I stopped eating crap, I stopped eating late, I stopped eating for the sake of it, and I went on more walks. Nothing really that drastic." That's a brilliant effort fair play. | |||

"I've struggled a lot with my weight my whole life and it took a lot of experimenting to get to where I'm a bit more comfortable in general. My main advice that I wish I knew earlier was consistency. What you eat today might be bad, but you don't only live today. Think of your weight loss journey as lasting decades not weeks and if you mess up it's a hitch, and you're back on your diet and exercise the next day. Don't punish yourself, you want to build positive habits you can maintain throughout your life" Thanks for the advice | |||

It takes time to build habit, and the expectation of them sticking quickly and easily is what leads people to not stick with their plans. If I felt like shit and comfort ate one day, I'd make sure I'd be a bit more active to counter it. Small victories leads to big victories. | |||

"I (JT) dropped from 95kg down to 60 over about a year. Mainly from training bjj and intermittent fasting. Keeping up with the fasting has been the main thing that's kept the weight off, I basically eat whatever I want in one main meal or one small one before work and a big one after. Bjj in the morning and a bit of yoga help keep me actually healthy though because I was a bit scrawny after losing the weight. " Great effort, well done. What's BJJ if you excuse my ignorance? | |||

" Great effort, well done. What's BJJ if you excuse my ignorance?" Oops, it's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, similar-ish to judo but less hard on the body. | |||

"I had a pop or soda addiction " This is my issue too, I go through bottles of Coke a week and never ever drink water. Probably lose a stone if I just swapped that! | |||

"Diets don't work. Eat well, eat less and move about more. " Well said To diet you have to create a calorie deficit which most people who diet go too extreme too soon then the cravings start and if you’re not moving or training you want to eat shit. Eat more protein, drink more water and become more active. Food is fuel use it wisely and make sure whatever you consume has calorific value. If you’re currently eating 5000 cals of crap you will store most of the shit from it. Eat 5000 cals of good food whilst you’re active and your body will make better use of it. Search protein supplements best in UK and shop around - always check sugar content!! Short term goals long term plan. It’s not all about cardio, resistance training and lifting weights is good for you as well as hill walking. | |||

"I have fibromyalgia and cannot take any medication for it so I find losing weight with exercise a struggle. Count in having to eat gluten free it's very expensive. It's taken me 18 months to lose 2½ stone slowly, which my doctor and bank balance preferred. I've found walking the newly adopted dog helps my pain levels and weightloss is starting to be a little quicker. Walking is low impact just in the cold and rain I wouldnt normally go out in it, with a dog you have no choice. They have to go out so you do too. Eating smaller amounts of the full fat is better for my fibro as the artificial sweeteners in diet food flare my pain up worse." HUGE respect for you lady Working around a debilitating illness such as fibromyalgia cannot be easy but you have built a plan a strategy and way to deal with the psychology of pain. Short term goals with a long term plan. Honestly you should be very proud of yourself Well done x | |||
