What have you found easier or enjoyed more this week?
My muscles are definitely getting used to the circuit training and I feel much more toned as a result. Loving the regular workouts and enjoying trying some different food combinations. That doesn’t feel so daunting now!
What have you found more difficult or not enjoyed this week?
I was really upset not to have fitted in any exercise this weekend due to being on a course. It was impossible to fit it in and I know I have to accept that but I definitely haven’t enjoyed it.
What positive effects have you noticed this week?
More toned physically and I have SO much more energy.
What negative effects have you noticed this week?
Er, I honestly can’t think of any....
What have you learned this week?
How to handle challenges and that hey, I can meet temptation head on and not only resist but confidently make alternative and better food choices!
What do you still want to learn?
I feel this is a huge learning curve for me, cooking new things, working out in new ways, dealing with challenges...and I just want to carry on learning more about everything!

Weight change week one: -5 ¾ lbs
Weight change week two: – ¾ lb
Total weight change to date: - 6 ½ lb
What have you found easier or enjoyed more this week?
I’ve definitely found the exercising easier this week. Well I cant say its been easy but I’m not struggling as much as I did in the first week. I also like the fact that I am not aching a lot compared to the first week and even though I have worked hard, it does not hurt to walk or sit down or keep me awake. Talking of sleep, this last week I’ve slept so much better and not been tired during the day.
What have you found more difficult or not enjoyed this week?
I’ve found it difficult to fit in exercise this week, due to work and home life commitments.Luckily having prebooked the time for the sessions with Sue and Apple in my diary has made me commit to those. I think if I was doing it on my own, I could have talked myself into doing no exercise at all!
What positive effects have you noticed this week?
Definitely sleeping better. I’ve also had my period this week, and I didn’t crave a thing, which is great as usually, a few days before, I’m craving anything and everything. I cant say I’ve even looked at a chocolate bar or a packet of crisps.
What negative effects have you noticed this week?
I was slightly upset with only losing ¾ pound this week, but then again I did have a great loss the previous week and over the 2 weeks it’s a great result.
What have you learned this week?
The most important thing I have learned is that this is a journey and its ok to step off that journey for a special occasion if I choose to but I know that I can get back on the right track the next day and not think that I have spoilt the diet and just have another binge!
What do you still want to learn?
I still want to learn to love exercise. At the moment I feel its necessary but truthfully, if I wasn’t going to see Sue, I wouldn’t bother. I want that feeling of waking up in the morning and thinking I’m going for a power walk yippee!!!
Me….

Current weight: 8 stone 5 ¾
Weight change week one: - 1½ lbs
Weight change week two: - ½ lbs
Total weight change: - 2lbs
What have you found easier or enjoyed more this week?
I have enjoyed the higher levels of energy I have in the afternoons and having a clear mind. Also I have enjoyed creating quick healthy meals that all of the family can enjoy.
What have you found more difficult or not enjoyed this week?
Washing up!!
What positive effects have you noticed this week?
The symptoms of the colitis type condition that I usually have are reduced, especially the abdominal heaviness and bloating. Also, positive for me is that I did not lose too much weight..I am doing this to help strengthen my immune system rather than for weight loss. (Thank you to everyone who is concerned that I might lose too much weight x x )
What negative effects have you noticed this week?
None
What have you learned this week?
That I used sugary foods and bread to combat feelings of tiredness, when infact these foods could be contributing to making me feel tired.
What do you still want to learn?
If this programme is going to continue giving me positive benefits.
