how lose the last few stone?

[!mummyto3girls!]

hi ppl. i've lost 6 and a half stone so far just through diet and exercise. i've got about 3 stone left to lose and it just isn't shifting. i thought about getting an exercise bike but i don't think we really have the room, not until i get the twins in their own room anyway. i used to swim twice a week but haven't been for ages so will have to start that up again. i do a lot of walking but haven't lately as the weather as been so bloody awful. think i'm answering my own question really arent i lol thought about trying a new diet, any recommendations? bearing in mind i'm a single mum of four so i'm not rich lol

Slimming world! Easy to follow, especially with kids around, as it's all about eating a healthy balanced diet, so it's family friendly But yeah, from the people I've talked to who've lost a lot (well done for your 6 and a half stone by the way!) they say the easiest way to lose the last bits are to up the exercise Slimming world also gives good advice regarding exercise with their 'body magic' which starts you off slow and gradually ups the ante Good luck!

Hi there, congratulations on losing so much weight! I have been on the Herbalife diet, and found that it works wonders for me. Feeling much more energised too. Xx

i've not heard of herbalife, i'll google it! yeah i think upping my exercise is probably the way i'm gonna have to do it. ill get back into swimming twice a week, carry on with my 6 miles walking a day and try to add in some jogging. hopefully i can sort that room out and get an exercise bike or cross trainer, i guess i could always bring the bike downstairs and do it while i'm watching tv lol

That's a good idea I like doing that with my Wii Fit, setting it to a 30 min walk or jog and switching over to tv so I can watch my favourite programs and exercise at the same time Time passes so much quickly and before you know it you'll have burnt loads of calories

i used to love doing the jogging with my wii fit but my wii is broken keep meaning to get it fixed but its so expensive

 

[Laura94B]

It may sound strange, but you could always do it without the wii fit Put your favourite program on and jog in front of the tv

 

[!mummyto3girls!]

yeah i guess i could really!

I lost 4 stone before falling off the wagon, kept trying to go back and failing, giving it another go this time by calorie counting and exercise, I got a bike which I use while im watching telly, do between 60 - 80mins a day on it, but Ive been calculating calories burnt and the less you weigh, the less you burn doing the same activity, so Im upping the amount I do for every stone I lose, so if you are eating and exercising the same as you did when you were 6 stone heavier, you won't lose as much and in some cases wont lose at all, so maybe worth calculating how many calories your body needs at your lighter weight?
