Weekly Weight Loss Week 48

I lost another pound this week, taking me another pound closer to my weight loss goal. 9 pounds to go now and there's 13 weeks left to Christmas! My week was full of ups and downs and I've shared them all here in this post:   http://www.bubblews.com/news/1206628-weekly-weight-loss-week-48   This week I'm tracking religiously. I've already gone into my weekly points and trying really hard not to use them all up right at the start of the week but we gave into a Chinese on Wednesday night.   How is your weight loss going? I'd love to hear from you about whether you're on track for your weight loss goal or not.

Eat Breakfast to Help Your Weight Loss

Make breakfast a natural part of your day When it comes to weight loss, eating more is better than eating less. Well, you still need a calorie deficit but you don’t want to create too much of one. It’s true that you really do need to eat and breakfast is your most important meal of the day. Why is it so important? According to a survey for Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2013, those who ate breakfast were slimmer than those who skipped it. The survey found that 78% of those who were successful at weight loss ate breakfast on a daily basis. Here are some top tips to make breakfast a regular part of your day to help your weight loss. Plan It Ahead Don’t wait until the morning to decide what you’re going to eat. Plan it the night before (or even during the day) and make sure you have everything you need in the house. You’re not going to go out especially for a certain food for your breakfast, especially when you’re rushing around for work. Keep all the health

The TV Causes You to Gain Weight

Is the TV the reason for your weight gain? The TV causes your weight gain—well, your lack of weight loss success. Yes, really! Well, it isn’t the only reason for this but it is a major factor. It is a distraction and actually impedes on your family time so you become more unsociable together. If you’re not too sure about this, then consider the following: You Don’t Talk Between Bites When you watch TV, you don’t talk between your bites. You eat quicker and this often leads you to eating more so the TV is causing your weight gain. If you turn the TV off and chat to the other people in the room, you will find that you eat slower and could end up eating less. You’ll give your body the time to digest everything since you need to slow down so you can speak between mouthfuls. The TV acts as a distraction. Instead of talking, you’re focusing on the screen. You won’t even realise just how many times the fork is going to your mouth. You Don’t Give Your Body Time

Weekly Weight Loss Week 47

This week I lost 1 pound and I'm really happy with that. I'm now 10 pounds away from goal. I have to be honest that I was surprised after the week I had. lt was full of takeaways and long hours at work. What did I do? This week was a lot of tracking. While that's really important to know I'm in my limits there is always the fear I will but weight on. What will I do this week? It's all about tracking again. I've been a bit slack when it comes to exercise so I'm going to do more of that too. This week is going to be the bad one out of 4 so I need to limit the damage as much as possible. How is your weight loss going? Hopefully, you are having as much success as me.

Weekly Weight Loss Week 46

I didn't lose anything this week... But I didn't gain anything either and I'm happy with that! It was my wedding anniversary so there were a few not so normal food choices involved so staying the same is a good thing. I expect a loss next week though.

Tackle the Supermarkets Without Going Off Track

Stay on track in the supermarket and lose weight! It’s time for the food shop! That’s a scary time for many people trying to lose weight and those who have lost weight! How do you tackle this part of the week? There are just so many offers and they’re always on the things that you know you shouldn’t have. It’s really easy to just give into the cravings for the cakes and biscuits, even though you know they’re going to do your diet harm. The good news is you can tackle the supermarkets without going off track. Here are the perfect tips to do that. Make a List Before You Go Create a list of all the things you need. You can make it as detailed or as loose as you want. We make it detailed until it comes to the fruit and veg—we choose that when we’re at the store. By making a list, you know everything that you will eat for the week. You can go down just the aisles on the list and stay away from the food that you don’t need. It makes it much easier and you’re

Make Your Workplace Weight Loss Friendly

Losing weight when you’re at home maybe easy but what about when you’re at work? If you work with others, people often bring in cakes and sweeties to share. You may have snacks in your desk or the sandwich van can come every day. The good news is that you can lose weight at work. You can make your workplace weight loss friendly and that doesn’t mean stopping others from bringing their treats in. Here are some practical tips to beat the temptations. Take in Diet Friendly Treats We all like to have that snack mid-morning. Don’t stop yourself just make sure you have treats that are diet friendly. When I worked in an office, I would take oranges and nuts in for my treats. Just a handful of nuts would be enough to beat the hunger until lunch. There are all sorts of options that you can have. Have a selection of your favourites and don’t give into the cakes going around the office. Track Those Cakes Okay so sometimes you really want to try the delicious food
