Straight forward plan
I joined Be Strong when I gained weight while unable to exercise due to a running injury, but to be honest, I was already gaining weight before I got injured. I couldn’t understand what I needed to do in order to lose weight, but when Rick & Rachel explained it… was about counting calories and consuming less than I burn, I realised that I could eat anything I wanted as long as I counted the calories and kept within them. I admit that at first I struggled to stay within my calorie limit, but within a few weeks I learned how to enjoy smaller portions and that cutting out some things made a big difference. In 4 months I have learned so much about food and improved my running loads. I have also lost 2 and a half stones. I think that Be Strong is a straight forward, easy to understand plan to take control of how much I eat, that will continue to work throughout my life. Read more “Straight forward plan”
Road to Recovery
After gaining a lot of weight after breaking my shoulder, comfort eating & no exercise, I decided enough was enough – so I walked into the Be Strong Group by myself, feeling nervous and excited all in one. That day changed everything for me. My mindset, years of a unhealthy… relationship with food and lack of exercise was out of the window. I threw myself into this and I’ve never looked back. I lost all my weight, got fit and strong and now exercise is part of my life, working out 4-5 times per week and eating healthier versions of food I love. Don’t get me wrong there’s days, and even weeks, where we may slip up and not be the on our game 24/7. But guess what, we’re all human, not perfect and accepting ourselves for who we are is part of the learning process. Getting back on track with the support of the groups and exercise is what really counts, we’re all on the same journey – take one day at a time. If you fall get back straight back up, and remember focus on the bigger picture – 52 weeks from now where will you be? 🐝💪 Read more “Road to Recovery”
Best Decision I Ever Made
I joined Be Strong in August 2018 and lost 2 and a bit stone by Christmas. I find the groups that Rick and Rach run motivating, friendly, supportive and help you to keep on track with a bit of exercise too (providing you are not lazy like me). I find… counting calories makes you more aware of what calories are in different foods, which leads to better choices. I have found it has given me back the control over my weight and most of all it is not a diet so you can have your treats every now and then. Read more “Best Decision I Ever Made”
Simple, effective, sustainable!
I joined Be Strong in January with a friend who had already been a member. I’d gradually put on weight and I had been feeling overwhelmed and anxious about starting a ‘weight loss journey’, thinking it would involve extreme dieting and hours in the gym. This is not the case!!… It is so simple, I don’t feel like I’m dieting and I have learnt so much about living a balanced lifestyle. I’ve wanted to lose weight for a while, and tried numerous things in the past with little success, as what I was doing wasn’t sustainable. I lost 9lb in four weeks and I am feeling as motivated now as I was on day 1 thanks to the weekly groups. Be Strong is fantastic. Thank you so much for what you do!
