When the going gets tough!

When we embark on a weight loss and fitness campaign we have big ambitions of achieving significant results quickly. In fact, the first three days of a diet are the easiest because there is a novelty element and the excitement of having a goal. We know where we are aiming and we know it will all be worth the effort in the end. After day three it gets tougher and we start missing certain foods, we feel slightly hungrier and our enthusiasm is challenged somewhat. But now is the time we should dig deep and try desperately to hold it together as we will now be burning fat from our bodies and progress will be real.

People approach dieting in different ways. Some stick rigidly to the diet and are determined about their fitness and yes, they do lose most weight. Some folk just cannot be that strict and make a 70% effort and that’s ok but, if this applies to you, don’t expect to lose weight so fast. You need to be patient with that rate of progress and just keep plodding on. But without doubt the most satisfactory way to lose weight is if you are given support and encouragement from others, and it has been proven that dieters attending classes definitely lose more than those going it alone.

Whilst slimming clubs offer a weekly meeting and the camaraderie of your fellow slimmers, they are limited in their effectiveness because they do not offer exercise or fitness advice. When we launched Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs 17 years ago, we committed to offer weight loss advice, motivation and a workout taught by a professionally qualified exercise teacher. A little later we developed our nutrition training into an accredited qualification, which all of our instructors receive. This means that anyone attending one of our classes receives the very best professional advice available and the combination of diet and fitness is what every GP, nutritionist, dietician and, indeed, the Department of Health, recommends.

Check out our website for details of classes held in your area and if we don’t have one, consider using our online slimming club – http://www.rosemaryconleyonline.com/ where you will receive all the advice and support you need from professionals who really care about you.
