Waa - how much walking have you been doing? I am trying to get walking every day this week to get a good loss for week 2. Was only aiming for 2 ish hours of walking though to get myself back into it but already done 40 mins yesterday and 40 today so hopefully will get past the 2 hour mark easily

 

[waa13]

ive been walking at least 2 miles every time so about 40mins 3 times a week but thats only because of work if i wasnt working so much i would be out more than that and for longer

I could start this with 'tmi' but I dont think it is...
I have and have had an over hanging belly for as long as I can remember being over weight...(since I was 16/17/18...not sure exactly)
I've hated it and what its meant mentally and physically...its made me feel less than, unattractive, shy, both in everyday situations and personal situations.
Being obese and the belly has stopped me from moving forward with many things.

I went to the doctors when I was 25 about weight loss help and the belly. I described it to the nurse and told her it hangs down a bit, it doesnt cover my knickers but its there creating a line..
she gave me a healthy eating leaflet and told me not to worry it probably wouldnt go away even if I lost weight and at least I had a pretty face.
I was distraught and upset...
I carried on anyway and lost 2 stones...it all went back on and the belly remained.
THIS time I am 38 and have improved alot in my self esteem, still a long way to go but I am losing weight for the right reasons - because I want to and because its healthier...
I had new hopes and doubts about the belly leaving but I can honestly say its lifting...the overhang is lifting!! Since starting gym instead of swimming 3 weeks ago nearly I can see the improvement starting already. That nurse was wrong....its going to go!! I feel optomisitic and happy and wanted to share this incase anyone is in a similar belly....if your ab muscles have not split previously it can go!! Exercise is helping me...for once I can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel and the thing that I called the bain of my life is on the move! I wish I'd taken a before pic of the belly...mind you if I do one now and another at the end of the summer maybe that'll be enough...

I hope this is helpful and not tmi.... xxx

Scales tomorrow...Have stuck to plan...Had a meal out yesterday and the only thing I could see to syn was olive oil, so I gave it 6 syns hope its ok! I spent the day out today and resisted homemade sausage rolls and fizzy wine...stuck to my apples as usual and water...felt happy though! I have no idea of the scales...shouldnt have put on but I have no idea really!! Hoping for any loss....

Fingers crossed for you, i'm sure you will have had a loss if i managed to go out one weekend drinking and then go for a chippy after and loose weight then you should be able to
