Weight loss tips anyone??

i weigh 10st now and id like to lose a good half stone before my op in jan, anyone got any good weight loss tips- oh and must be to keep the weight off not a temporary fad, ive done slimming world in the past and lost AND kept off just over 1 stone, but i just cant seem to shift anymore?!! x

Get up an hour earlier every day,kick start your metabolism,its surprising how much this helps.xxx

Very true Tina very true! Also eat less carbs, I cut out pretty much all carbs for a week as well as getting up early and lost 5lbs and I have kept it off. Look up Power 90 (P90) for a wikid diet, also Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred is awesome…20 mins 6 days a week. I have seen such a change in my body in 11 days, plus the strength has really helped after my op as my core and arms are stronger. Really really missing working out now Good luck chic. xxx

I have a few

* drink green tea it has weight loss benefits as well as many others

* drink 2 litres of water a day, especially drink a glass before a meal tgis fills u up and makes you eat less.

* cut out pop and fruit juice you will be suprised how many empty calries.are.in these

* eat eggs for breakfast eggs have been know to keep hunger at bay for longer, thus stopping u snacking

* eat off smaller plates. Sounds simple but this has also been knowing for aiding weight loss as u eat smaller.portions

* do at least 30min of cardio 4 times a week, this can be anytging from brisk walking, to cycling or jogging etc

* tone up, muscles burns more calories than fat, 1lb of muscle gain can burn up to 50 more calries than fat

* drink 100 % wey protein shakes as a meal replacment, they contain between 100-200 calories per serving depending if u drink with milk or water

* snack on fruit and rice cakes instead of high calorie sugery snacks

*change all white varieties or bread and pasta for whole wheat versions

Hope some of this helps xx

Nikki have you heard of P90 and P90X i rekon you’d love them! xx

All this info is brilliant ladies,you should add it to the weight loss group.

Whats the nik? I dont think I have, I got loads of other tips coz im a fitness junky and also wanna do a personal trainer course, ill have to write some more up when I think of them lol xx

how often do you drink the protein shakes? xx

If they are used as meal replacments I would say have them instead of an evening meal, just have the one. Eat a filling breakfast of either eggs or whole weat cereal, a small lunch then a protein shake for tea xx

Nikki when did u start exercising after ur op and what if anything did u struggle with? I am really wanting to exercise but know I can’t yet x

i started bk at the gym 3.5 weeks post opp, i did light cardio and light weight and gradually built it up, i felt ok doing a little bit of running and cycling, but press up or sit ups were a big no no till i was 2 months po, just listen to your body hun, it will tell you if your doing to much so just go at a gentle pace xx

this is stupid but it works for me lol…see the spanx pants u get that go up past ur tum n suck u in..wear them and u cant eat as much, imagine being in a tight dress and trying to eat a plate of spag bol lol you wudnt manage as much as u wud in loose clothes, so if u struggle to make ur portion sizes smaller this will help lol xx

I cut out all carbs for a month to get into my bridesmaids dresses for 2 weddings last summer, and although I wasn’t counting calories I cut down on biccies and sweets as well though didn’t stop eating them altogether and lost half a stone in time (unfortunately put a stone on after but that’s a different story)

I am also with slimming world and i lost 1 stone in 6 weeks, and i have just lost another couple of pounds, it has slowed down now thought, but i find the diet really easy and i do lots of exercise. My op is in 2 weeks on wed and i would like to lose another 3-4lbs by then xx

I done slimming world for a year and lost nearly 5 stone .. It really does work if u stick to it and to be fair I still follow the plan now as I never want to be overweight again only down side it I now have no boobs but that will be sorted Friday

Clairebear I’m loving the pants idea !!
