Beginner :)

Hiya
I am new to the forum but have had a bad past of giving up diets n weight training for about 3 years on and off but recently went to see James on here and will see him every 2 weeks to help me stay on track.
 
On the 27th September when James weighed me I was 214lbs now 6 days later I am 205.2lbs.
Long way to go but this time I am sure I will get there!
 
I am on a very low carb diet atm, 2 pieces of fruit per day unless I am on a weight training day 3 pieces and a 20g protein shake and 1 lot of veg eveyday.
 
I feel really tired but it only motivates me more coz i know it means its working! :)
 
45 mins cardio every morning too makes ya feel really good and ready for the day

Hi abi...I hate to say it but thats a crazy diet and even crazier weightloss,you ever heard of a saying the more you eat the more you lose?I think to be honest that your losing weight far too quickly which will result in losing muscle tissue...It's gotta be...9lb in 6 days with hardly any food?!?!?thats mad but I'm sure other members will agree.

Sorry I didn't mention that I have got a load of chicken and tuna/eggs etc
James has made the diet up for me, and he is really good and supportive.
I would recommend him! :)

and then 45 mins cardio on an empty stomach everyday
weight training 4 times per week with 20 mins cardio straight after weight training
and I might be wrong but isn't it water that comes of first?
 

Ok thats a little better,could still do with a little more in there maybe and yes it is water that tends to drop off 1st.

I aim to lose 2 and a half stone by christmas a little ambitious I know but I am hoping I can do it!

Abi sees me as a face-to-face client and is incredibly keen to lose weight, but needs continual motivation.  I suggested a journal to help motivate her.
 
So, please help keep her motivated!

Weight loss has slowed down a little now, was 203.6lb yesterday and this morning I was 203.2lb :( I knew it was going to slow down soon but I didn't want it to happen so soon!

15lb lost now :) very hungry but keeping it up and exercising hard :)
Gotta be honest I have probably over done it with the exercise somedays, doing 30 mins cardio instead of 20 after weight training and I have also done extra 30 mins on top of what i needed to do at night, it's a little addictive!

Congratulations on the weight loss so far, just keep on being consistent and the rest will come off . 
I lost 77lbs in seven and a half months(five years ago), just takes one day at a time. You can do this x

Good luck with this! I'm sure with James help and alot of hard work you could drop 2.5 stone by christmas maybe even more.

Thank you Karryann and wow you did really well then!
I hope so this time! this is the longest I think I have ever stuck to a diet (and I work in a kitchen where there is temptation all around!) So quite confident I can do it this time :) x

Thanks for your support geneticallyjacked I appreciate it, Yeah James is really great he has helped loads! I have lost 16lb now :) loads more to go but seriously hoping to reach that by christmas!

Seeing James tomorrow for a weigh in and diet change :) This is the longest I have stuck to a diet properly and there is no turning back now I have come too far! Still 16lb loss and a lot more to go but I will get there (eventually) x

Stick with it and see you tomorrow!

Welcome Abi

Will do James :)
Thank you Flick161

Welcome lovely ! That's a fantastic drop so far, keep going and keep things consistent and you will get there ! x

Thanks for your support Welshy you don't realise how much it is appreciated! lol struggling to get through today only thing keeping me going is knowing I am seeing James tomorrow, good job I am! lol Think I have injured myself in training my chest..not too sure why but
my back hurts :( x

So saw James today and he was happy with my progress :) being a person that likes to make people happy it has given me more motivation to carry on! I live away from my family and my nan and grandad are coming to see me Thursday lol :) so am looking forward to them hopefully noticing I have lost weight since I last saw them!
Treated myself today to a muller rice yoghurt, and it has been on my mind since gonna do extra cardio tomorrow to burn it off!! That will teach me for doing that again!! Bring on tomorrow!! :)
