I am on a mission to shift 3 stone and am using my blog (and you) as my motivation. Each week I will share losses (or gains) on the scales and will also be measuring myself to see whether I have lost any inches!
The Results
Weight lost= -1
Inches lost (over 7 measurements) = -2
How did I do it?
Ok, not as good as week 1 but I guess you always lose more the first week. I do feel a bit disappointed that it isn’t more but I am not going to let it get me down, I will focus my efforts and work extra hard this week.
Tonight is day 1 of the next phase in my Couch to 5K challenge, I am still enjoying it and actually look forward to getting out on my own. Running gives me a sense of freedom, listening to music I like and not having to focus on anything besides putting one foot in front of the other.
Diet-wise I am still focused, I am not even missing our usual Friday night binge sessions (hula hoops and dairy milk!). Knowing I am keeping track of my weight is making me want to eat healthily- I am even eating more fruit!! Pasta is definitely the main part of my diet but slimming world allows that- perfect for me! I just wish they allowed mountains of cheese…..
Come back next week to see how I get on. x

According to the biggest loser USA (I LOVE that show! ) the second week if you lose anything it's amazing as your body is rapidly adjusting to your new regime and trying to hold on to its emergency stores so I think you did brilliantly!!!! And before you known it you'll be at the end of c25k and onto the next program which is bridge to 10k!! Xx

Oh that has made me feel better Laura, thank you. Hopefully I will see a change next week then. I certainly feel a bit thinner :-)

Writing it all down is really keeping me motivated- I would be mortified to announce I had gained due to eating a mountain of rubbish! x

I think a pound of weight loss in a week is fab! That's equivelant to a calorie deficit of 3500 which is tough to do! I love running to give me a bit of 'me time' too x
