If you were going to throw money at weight loss...

[ImperfectTents]

Where would you throw it?
I need to lose 2 stone and just can't get started. Has anyone successfully chucked money at it.
I suspect I need to plan better but under a lot of stress just now and everything is a bit chaotic

Good quality food: grass fed and raised with no or minimum amount of hormones and antibiotics. Or delivered prepped meals.

I have lost almost 4 stone on saxenda with no side effects what so ever. Best money ever spent. It was medically managed through a dietician

My PT has helped me work through my food issues (previous eating disorder and also chronic comfort eater) and also helped me come up with a food plan that I can stick to. I am now at a very healthy weight and can maintain.

Also have a back issue and no burpees here- weight lifting has changed my shape completely.

I have had no side effects from Saxenda and I've followed a managed plan.

All drugs have side effects but the fact that it's been licensed for use for a high street chemist, then I wouldn't call it f**king dangerous.

I use it combined with healthy eating and an exercise regime.

If I had unlimited funds I would hire a personal chef and trainer or bugger off to a health farm. But sadly I don't

Long term, personal trainer, learn how to lift weights.

Also long term nutritionists, learn how to eat right 😍

A good PT can help the back situation, and make sure they are degree educated not just 6 weeks PT online course trained!

35-50 per hour and it will be life changing, I'd suggest you got to a private gym, mine is one-to-one but in a private studio.

I'm doing Team RH, it's literally been life changing for me.
I've also signed up with a PT once a week and do her workouts twice a week besides.

Buy one of those 3D mirrors and make yourself look at your body to get your motivation in place

All diets work if you stick to them

Saxenda! On it at the moment (plus free Noom trial). It kills your appetite! As in you could easily do 800 cals a day or even less without blinking.

But careful of the 'head eating' ie not hungry but maybe bored or just fancy it. Hence the noom which kind of helps.

I agree with others re a personal trainer, plus I'd send ds to stay somewhere else for six months so that I can just not have any food in the house, that's worked for me in the past

Oh and saxenda is not 'fucking dangerous'. It's Liraglutide. The only side effects are nausea (which goes away) which can be managed by one of the -prozole stomach meds. I do wish people would get their fucking facts straight,

Oh and exercise is great. It also makes you VERY hungry.

I'd hire a swimming pool. The whole thing, to myself for an hour a day. I love swimming but hate sharing a pool with other people!

Without a doubt .. Weight loss surgery. The only long term sustainable method of weightless proven to work after a 5yr period.

I had it 5years ago. Was 19 stone. Have been between 10'and 11 stone since the op. Life changing but private you must have a BMII of over 30 and NHS its 40.

And yoga to add to the saxenda. A personal yoga trainer or very small classes. It doesn't ramp up your hunger and omg you get a great body fast. It's also quite relaxing and can help a lot with overeating.

I used to do a lot of classes/weights/PT and I are like a horse. Never lost weight till I stopped it. I've done 500 cal fasts before and been able to do a yoga class that day. Try that on weight training

Exercise makes you healthier. It doesn't lose you weight without changing your food intake. That's why WLS works where nothing else will.

I'd hire a chef to cook stuff that's noth low cal and tasty!

Try hypnotherapy they did a study where people lost twice as much weight than other methods and people were more successful at maintaining their weight long term.

I was recently recommended the Blood Sugar diet - a friend has lost 2.5 stone on it so far. That has an expensive 12 week online programme!

I guess it is similar to MN's boot camp really so I've just gone back to that for free. I found a small piece of willpower that's been eluding me for many months. If only you could buy willpower

I upped the dose every week as instructed by doctor. Weight loss averaged a kilo a week. I did gym and walking lots too

I cycle to work (13miles each way to work) and have PT once a week and mainly focus on posture work and strengthening upper body (shoulder issues) and he is worth his weight in gold. Toned so much more, will increase to 2 sessions once winter and too dark.

I’d go Whole Foods planet based and get a PT. I’d watch or read something every day to keep my motivation up. I’d get some therapy. I’d set a goal and stick a tracker on the fridge. I’d track my steps. I’d find a friend who wanted to do it with me. I’d consider entering a half marathon/5k for 12 weeks time.

Nicest gym and high quality low carb - scallops / crayfish / sashimi / rare beef and veg etc
