Fat Kettle Belle

So I've been doing kettle bell swings on and off since January and recently I set myself another goal of 50-100 swings a day (1 or 2 sets of 50 reps) with the 6kg kettle bell. No pressure to do 100, only if time allows. This is in addition to a new diet I haven't tried, 16:8, which I am finding relatively easy as I never used to eat breakfast. However, I am doing 18:6 as this is more natural for me. Peer pressure and do-gooders saying I must have breakfast made me cave in, so for the last 3 or so years, I have had breakfast. Not any more, I am taking control of my life. Hopefully, I can keep up the weight loss. I am a pretty slow loser so have reduced my calorie intake to around 1,000. Recommended cals for me is 1528 minus 20% = 1244 cals. I am not being too strict about it. I am trying to cut out sugar and sweeteners, my main culprit is sugar-free squash and low calorie pop. I am eating bread, pasta and potatoes but not every day. My main substitute is cauliflower rice which s...

Only very small changes for me in my first month. This is without any dietary change. 2.2lbs weight loss (a large bag of sugar) 1.3% fat loss 0.6 muscle gain 0.5 inch off bust 1 inch off waist 2.5 inches off hips Cannot see any difference in the way I look or the way my clothes feel. However, I know I am getting stronger as I have progressed in weight on the kettle bells and I feel a bit tighter. Pleased with the inch loss from waist and hips though. Looks like this is going to be a slow journey for me. I am secretly hoping that I will see a noticeable difference by the Summer. I might even put up a Before and After photo if there is a noticeable change. I am overweight by 2 stone. Because my weight loss is so slow, my 6 month goal in this respect doesn't seem to be achievable. I was hoping to lose 24lbs, that would have been 4lb's a month which should have been doable. Admittedly I am not dieting, but I haven't been over the top either. I will try and push my ...

Planning and Week One I haven't changed one bit. I have decided to do this at home. No gym fees and cheaper. I already have some dumbbells that my partner bought me (well over 10 years ago and never used). They are 3lb each in weight. After researching on the internet I found an overall exercise plan that covered all the major muscle groups. A total workout plan. Actually, I did this exercise on the floor. I also ordered an Abs Warrior machine using my Christmas vouchers. My decision was to tone up my core area without having to lie down on the floor. I find this really uncomfortable, can't really do them and it strains my neck. I am hoping the Abs Warrior machine will support my back and give me some resistance to get me back up again. I also bought it to do leg curls and also there seems to be a nice stretch that it does. Anything else, I'm not really interested in. (Cost £30 sale) I did a couple of days using the total workout plan with my dumbbells and foun...
