I've started and followed these types of threads several times over the last few years with no such luck! I think that my problem in the past has been that I want fast results and really that's not necessarily going to happen. I'm giving myself 8 weeks. 8 weeks to see what results I can get. The amount of times I start a 'diet' and give up after a few days or a week. Whereas if I stick to it for 8 weeks, perhaps I may actually start to see some results. I'm not doing any fad diet. Just going to eat healthier, smaller portions (i tend to over eat!) and less sugary treats (and crisps!)
I'm not going to totally limit myself because that's when I fail. This week I will aim for 3 runs or 2 runs and a swim. I am working less this week but on the days I work I will take the train instead of being stuck in traffic, this will involve 35 mins of walking too. Will be keeping on top of putting bottles of water in the fridge. I'm also going to try and do a few stomach exercises each day, even if it's while I'm watching TV. It takes no time at all really.
Does anybody want to join in? I'm starting tomorrow? We can give support through the week and weigh in every Sunday ?
I also think now is a good time because I've got no holidays or anything booked so I will simply be doing this for me, and not worrying about not being 'bikini ready'
I originally posted this in chat but got no responses but someone recommended this section which I didn't know about! I'm going to weigh myself shortly. I've written out the dates for the next 8 Sundays in a book and will be weighing myself each sunday.
