Thread: slow weight loss and exercise

I don't like classes for the same reason as you Dawnyo. I find that I get very disheartened and feel a lot of pressure to lose each week when often I don't, even though I stick to plan. Keep at it from home and use the forum. 2.5 lbs off is great!!

Thankyou for all your replies. I feel so much better for exercising, just after 3 weeks I can feel my stamina increasing. I know I need to keep it all in perspective. I have around 5 stone to lose and have 6 months to get rid of as much as I can in time for my holidays. I think I just need to stop putting myself under pressure. I will measure myself too. Thanks again for the replies. Michelle

Hi

Stop putting yourself under pressure. Exercise is the way forward. I lost all my baby weight a few years ago with no exercise, got down to my prebaby weight and still couldn't fit into my normal clothes. Prebaby was spinning 5x a week. My weight was back to being the same but I was really unhappy with the shape of my body. This time round Im exercising and eating well (prob too well) and loosing half to 1lb a week, not being too strict with the diet. I just try to keep in mind this is a way of eating for life so the longer it takes for the weight to come off, the more likely it is to stay off.
