To promote walking to aid weight loss plans, WLR have created a fun and motivational 7 week challenge with some great prizes.

To join in with the challenge members must

• Pick a destination on a special map to walk to
• Walk for enough minutes (indicated for each destination) to reach the destination chosen
• Add the walking to the WLR Exercise Diary so progress can be plotted on the map
• Pick up a WLR passport stamp for each destination walked to
• Pick up a WLR Souvenir for visiting each destination
• Visit and collect 5 WLR destinations to be in with a chance of winning the prizes which include a first prize of a Speedbox HRM worth £174.99
  

Walking can really boost weight loss and fitness levels, even if you can only manage a small amount each day. With the tools at WLR you can see how many extra calories are expended just by walking to the local shops or walking the kids to school instead of taking the car.

‘Nice long 2 hour walk this morning with the poles of course! Really pushed myself and burnt off loads of calories... going again tomorrow’.

Kellyben

‘I lost my first 20lb with the aid of walking and not only did it get me lots of scrummy exercise calories which I promptly scoffed, it helped me really bust that inner thigh fat. It made all the difference to me and still does’.

SelfishShellfish

I was very unfit. I found walking the best way to build up my confidence and fitness levels. I suppose I'd advise to just increase it by increments, and do it regularly - every day if you can’. 

Joey

‘Exercise is my ticket to sanity  When I do it regularly - walking over an hour a day and four one-hour weights sessions a week plus little intervals - I feel happy both physically and mentally, less tired etc. And the feeling of nice, firm muscles – nnnnice’!

In 2011, www.weightlossresources.co.uk is celebrating 10 years of helping tens of thousands of people, lose weight, become healthier and get their lives back on track with new found confidence. It has, without exaggeration, changed lives.

Key Tools:

Goals & Results

Weight Loss Resources helps people assess their weight and decide on a realistic healthy target weight that can be achieved and maintained. This approach emphasises healthy and sustainable weight loss built on lifestyle changes.

‘I have tried pretty much everything and every diet – Cambridge, Atkins, F Plan, Cabbage Soup… Not sustainable for either cost or practicality reasons. The message was wrong – this was never going to be just a ‘diet’ and until I accepted it as a lifestyle change it was never going to work!’

Member Ginny, aged 47yrs, lost 11st

‘I also used the goals and the graph regularly to show how I was doing. The graph is the proof of your success… remember the Longer Term trend!!! Ignore the “little blitz” increases that you may have.’

Member Celine, aged 35yrs, lost 2st 10lbs

‘This week I had my diabetic review and had my medication halved. It shows how important it is to keep your weight at a healthy BMI because the health effects are so outstanding. Weight Loss Resources should be on prescription!’

Member TonyHunt, aged 63yrs, lost 7st               

Food Diary

Home to the UK’s largest calorie and nutritional database, the Food Diary provides real awareness of calories consumed and encourages members to use this knowledge to make changes to develop eating habits that suit their lifestyle and can be maintained.

‘It stopped me digging my grave with my knife and fork (and spoon, mustn’t forget the spoon)!’

Member Smtfhw, aged 48yrs, lost 5st, 8lbs

‘I live and breathe the food diary. It is the best tool ever.’

Member Yorkshiremuggles, aged 32yrs, lost 4st 3lbs

‘The food database has been the most invaluable tool for me, in conjunction with the food diary.  The recommended calorie intake per day to lose my target amount each week, along with absolutely truthful recording of everything that passed my lips over the first three months of my weight loss, meant that I lost 1kg per week like clockwork and reached my initial goal of getting down to a BMI of 25 three months after joining Weight Loss Resources.’

Member Totkat, aged 36yrs, lost 5st

Exercise Diary

Weight Loss Resources emphasises the importance of exercise for everyone and reiterates the benefits of calories expended through different activities aiding weight loss goals.

‘I can’t believe how much I love exercise. I get agitated if I don’t do any exercise daily.  I walk 5 miles daily and I now run up to 5 times a week, with several events several lined up including the Dublin marathon.’

Member Katiecom, aged 24yrs, lost 6st

‘I am now a fit freak. I run, I cycle, I walk, I do weights, I do Pilates…  I love exercise and am somewhat addicted to it.’

Member Jessie, aged 29yrs, lost 7st 9lbs

Members Forum

Weight Loss Resources recognises an integral part of any weight loss programme should include ongoing support. Through the Members Forum, people can share advice, tips, and experiences and support each other. The Forum is renowned for its friendliness.

‘The feeling of being part of a community, where everyone has common goals to lose weight and is supportive of each other, has just been a phenomenal experience.’

Member Size10forLife, aged 35yrs lost 3st 5lbs

‘The forums are the real backbone of Weight Loss Resources. You post a message and within seconds someone has replied. You can really rely on the support of other members’. 

Member Vickyd88, aged 21yrs, lost 2st 7lbs
