How to lose 2 stone by merryberrycherry

"My first goal to succeeding in a healthier attitude is done!"

How I did it: Restricting chocolate, crisps and other junk foods. I managed to do at least 160mins of exersise a week and tried to eat healthy options like salads and less carbs.
Althought it took me 2months to complete the actual 2stone, I have lost just under 4stone in about 1year.

Lessons & tips: Clue up on healthy and fictional diets and fads. Go for a long-term slow procedure rather than a celebrity diet.

merryberrycherry need to keep up with this

I’m going to be honest and I say I didn’t exersise much at all. I did exersise every week with my school’s exersise routine which was either netball, badminton, tennis or rounders. I enjoy swimming but I don’t do it much-I need to go more actually!!
Sorry this didn’t really help much but I do suggest swimming!!

Congratultions!

I find your story really inspiring and congratulations on achieving your goal!
This year I really want to be able to commit to losing weight and achieve mine. I was just wondering, i hope it isn’t rude of me to ask, what your weight was before and after.
If you feel uncomfortable answering,please don’t.
But congratulations on your success!
I hope you continue to smile and lea your life of happiness.

I’m not going to keep this comment up so I will tell you then you can comment saying you’ve seen it so then I can remove the figures..is that okay?
Starting weight: 212lbs (15st 2lbs)
Lowest weight: 150lbs (10st 10lbs)
So you can see I passed the 2st mark by a fair bit and it took me just over a year going on and off the healthy lifestyle. It is hard to keep the weightloss consistant so don’t be discouraged if you don’t drop lbs straight away! I didn’t do anything particularly special so anyone can do it and I am sure you will achieve your goal for 2010! Good luck xx

Sure!!

Of course that is possible! Anything is possible if you put your mind to it :) My friend’s mum joined Weight Watchers and she managed to lose a few stone in 3 months? She went to the gym 2-3 times a week and did the weight watchers point system and she’s now 2 dress sizes smaller!

I would try to eat as healthily as possible with a treat every week. So porridge or musli and fruit for breakfast, salads or sandwiches are always good for lunch and you can make them in advance and lots of fish and steamed vegetables for dinner? That’s just a basic idea of what I do (kind of) I sometimes go off the rails and that is fine too. Though I’ve been a vegetarian for a year so I don’t eat meat or fish.

If you make yourself a diary, I find it motivates me more when I look back at the dates where I’ve said I am struggling but then notice I was 7lbs heavier then? You could write down your feelings and your weight during the diet or just your intake/ outtake calories for each day?

Hope this helped! x
