I cant quite believe its been a whole year already, until now I have been doing 12 weekly updates with posts of each 12 weeks side by side but for the one year anniversary I'm just using start and current.

This is just the beginning, I still have a long way to go - But I am really pleased to have cracked it this time after a few failed attempts over the years! A big thank you to the lose it sub for all your support!

What I have learnt....

1. eat what you like in moderation - this has to be sustainable for the rest of your life, enjoy holidays just dont go mental!
2. lift weights, add muscle, push yourself in the gym.
3. cardio is NOT needed, good for your health but not needed for weight loss.
4. CICO is ultimately all that matters, if your not losing you are consuming to many, its that simple!
5. a cheat meal a week is ok within calories, a cheat day will undo the weeks progress.
6. take photos at the start, they will help continue you to motivate you as time goes on!
