Weekly vlog * Slimming world week 2*

This was an unsuccessful week in the world of my bikini body.  Terrible.  Falling at the second hurdle.  Why oh why?



Find out why on this weekly vlog where you can also find out my car news and see Harley the shihtzu in a starring role at the beautiful country park near us.



Meanwhile much love on this revision week

Slimming world weigh in results | week 1

Oh Gosh!!!

Now this was a fantastic start.  I wasn't expecting this.

I lost 7lbs! In my first week.  I had been really, really, really strict.  I loved this feeling.  I am feeling happier, healthier and just generally great!


Do I like slimming world?

The plan, yes, I find it is very encouraging of a healthier lifestyle.  More so than Weight watchers. Although I must say, there is still more talk than I would like about what food you can buy in Iceland.  Maybe that's simply the nutritionist in me!

Although in the group all we seem to do is go round and round discussing everyones weight gains or losses.  I would rather get tips for sticking to the plan and a little more motivation.

The group is super friendly which is amazing and super awesome! I'm also impressed with the consultant who leads it up too.

Make sure you follow this blog (in the box on the right hand side) or you can come over and like my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/louiseushercoach to follow my progress.  Let me tell you, week two is one blog post you will not want to miss!

Much love

I joined slimming world!

Yes you heard it right.  This nutritionist joined slimming world.

Why?  Well, I've let things slip.  Stopped paying attention, we all do that from time to time.  My bikinis don't fit the way I would like them to.
There's nothing quite like being held accountable and getting a reward when you hit a certain goal.  Even a little sticker to say well done!  Crazy and childish?  Yes, but it works!

Listening to the other members in the group will help me to help my own clients with their struggles too.

Today, I feel a new me is born.  I'm determined to get off 22lbs by the time I go on holiday next in July. I know I can do that! It's 2 lb a week.  Do-able.  I know HOW to do it.  I am super sure I can keep a focus and even with my scientifically-proven slow metabolism, I will do this!


My own weight loss group online has a competition running if this is something you feel you might like to look into.  10 free places for you and a friend to join for a whole month.  Motivation, tips, tricks and meeting other like minded people! See this link here to enter and for more details.  You can also tag me on twitter  if you aren't a Facebook person!

So, it's the start of a whole new me.  Are you with me?  

I was advised not to goto the gym.  I haven't been in so long but this makes my aches worse and also affects my mental health.  So I have decided to start very gently, taking my twins along with me to get over the anxiety I feel.  Brilliant! 

Plus, joining another weight loss group.  Plus, I will be doing another Aloe cleanse from tomorrow.  See my details of that here.  I hope to get a really good kick start to my weight loss on my clean 9.  Last time I lost 10 lbs.  In 9 days.  Awesome.

I'm going to work hard at uni, work hard on my anxieties, drink less coffee...all those things we promise ourself and seldom do.  

My motivation?  To look like this again in time for the beach!....

With much love from the new me....Louise xoxo

Which diet should you go for?

It's a real minefield isn't it!

So many different diets out there on the market,  of course always with skinny gorgeous models to promote them who never demonstrate that they may break out in a sweat and work out really hard at the gym too……

What are you to do?

How do you know what works for you and what doesn't before you invest time and money in the said diet.
Over the next few blogs I will review my knowledge of the 'diets' listed below for you so you can have a think about what might work for you.  They are all so different aren't they!
Personally,  my favourite is Atkins, or general Low carb diets.  They seem to be the ones that have the greatest chance of fitting into your every day life for longevity and also a really good weight loss can be achieved from them too.  It's a tricky one for vegetarians really unless you like an awful lot of green vegetables.  I guess you'd be hungry without the meat based protein.  

My opinion is that we should all do well cutting down on some sugars!  I get a little frustrated at the low fat diets.  I know we shouldn't eat loads of bad fats but we still need the good fats.  It can get complicated but the good fats help lower the bad cholesterol.  Sugar however, has no good properties pretty much whatsoever.

So here you will find a list of books in relation to the most popular diets.  Click the links to download.


  This diet you will feast for 5 days, fast for 2 days







Famous Atkins Low carb diet,  gets your body into Ketosis which burns your fat stores fast









The ever famous Weight watchers cook book. This diet works on points values, based on calories and low fat






 Are you a slimming world member? This book is great for you!

One of my personal favourites for anyone who has difficulty with any tummy issues.  If your stomach grumbles a lot and you suffer wind, pain, toilet troubles and have difficulty losing weight this could be your answer.  Great for intestinal issues and those unable to tolerate poly saccharides and di sacchirides



 Ketostix are great to see if you are in ketosis or not and if you are, by how far.  These are for low carb diets. Basically, you pee on them and wait for colour change


No experience of this diet but a few of my clients like this plan


 A client of mine lost weight slowly but surely on this diet.  She looks fab and is over 60 too.


 Now this idea I LOVE! It's also known as the blood group type diet! It works for me.


   General information about what we should be eating for optimum nutrition.  This is an in-depth educational journey which will enhance your life and your health.


Please let me know if you would like to discuss any further diets on here.  Which is your favourite?  Which do you have success with?  Please check back here for information on the Jason Vale Juicemaster 'stuff' which is coming soon.

Really hope this helps you.  Of course,  choose whichever plan suits you then come on over to my Facebook group to get the motivation you need from like minded others.  Click here for details.

Sending you much love for health and happiness
