You still have 5 weeks bud - lots can be achieved in that time frame.  Just need a positive mental attitude bud

Just do the best you can and try and remain as positive as possible.  If it's any consolation, I have been struggling terribly with motivation also   .... we must press on though

My heart was dropping out of it if I'm honest, but then this morning I sneezed getting out of the shower and in the mirror I saw my abs appear, been a while since I saw them, so gave me a real lift, I just need to stop eating so much bread and then I may lose more fat, but its one thing I cant seem to be able to do without

I'm on the verge of hardly bothering with this myself. Too much life **** getting in the way, not with Welshy luckily enough.

The diet is still doing it's thing so I'm dropping weight slowly but any weights or cardio has generally gone out of the window for the last 3 weeks

Sticking with your diet even when you don't get time to train will help, so don't give up!

I wouldn't say I'm giving up. I just can't take it as seriously as I wanted to at the start

Re:Shape-Up general discussion - 25 June 2009 17:15
Right i'm convinced that the scales in the gym are knackered, according to them during the last 7 weeks i've put on a kilo then lost 3. However on my flatmates digital ones i weighed myself, actually not sure think it was 5 ish weeks ago and just weighed myself now and i've lost 5kg.

This has cheered me up no end as that would mean 2.2lbs off weight loss a week.  Back Of The Net!!!!

Slowly but surely for me. I hope to ramp things up a bit now the end is getting nearer. I always work harder towards the end as i tend to leave things to the last minute!

No changes, cardio has taken a significant hit since I came home from Uni.

3 weeks though, should be able to loose another 5lbs......should
