So, I'm sure I'm not the only one on a diet. Lost 3 stone with Slimming World. If anyone else is on a similar journey, good luck and give yourself a shout out. |

"Well done OP
I'm doing DietNow shakes for two weeks to kick start myself x"
You're doing it backwards x
To successfully diet , improve food quality , and reduce calories gently and sustainably
Once you have a slow habitual weight loss subtle changes to modify rate
Finally after 6 months when the platou occurs or a final push for an event , that is where the radical diet shakes come to play
The concept of kick start is wrong and almost always. Counter productive |

Well done, how long did it take you to achieve that? Have you hit target? |

I've been trying to imagine you 10 stone heavier and I can't. You don't have any saggy skin, which is what I will have on my stomach (If I lose weight). |

At my biggest I was a size 26, my target weight was 11st which was what I'd been befure my health issues & weight gain.
I dropped to 12st - it took 8mths.
I now weigh 13st 7lbs but I'm 2 dress sizes smaller than when I weighed 11st.
Body composition V weight loss
I have a very high muscle mass.
As for saggy skin, I didn't starve or crash diet. I ensured I hit all my macros drank 3-4l water a day which helped prevent skin issues & then worked out, added muscle to my thighs & bottom, where the skin was slightly sagging.
The 21lbs i put on adter hitting 12st is muscle.

Yes & no
In my teens & 20s I was an athlete competed Internationally.
I had major health issues in my 30 & early 40s which caused the weight gain.
I wanted to be my old self again but never thought I would be, and thst became depressing.
I keep photos of me at my worst on my fridge.
I'm reminded every day how I looked & I won't be that person again.
I'm fitter now than I was 20yrs ago but I'm also aware that it's now harder to maintain thst level at my age.
It takes hard work but I love it.
Now being able to help others is the best feeling

Outstanding achievement, with a very very sensible pragmatic approach
You mentioned both water and macros, beyond a strong willed approach , they are the absolute key
The word macros seems intimidating and complex , I know it did for me when I began my journey however
All hitting "macros " means is having a consistent balance of carbohydrates protein and fat
Understanding the composition of the foods or so called foods we eat or are promoted to eat is a sensible and positive step for anyone

congrats OP on the weight loss.
I have been on a low carbs diet for
about 2 weeks now and have increased exercise every day.
I used to eat too much bread and potatoes
and its been a struggle trying to replace
them with something more healthy but I'm
getting there slowly. |
