I 'Can' Do It

Members Were Sparked

I dont have much money so cant buy any dun bells for my work outs, and I dont want to build my arms up to much either. Therefore I use 2 tins out of my cupboard, such as baked bean tins, spagetti tins , veg tins ect and use them in the same way. Gives enough resistant , and enables me to work out my upper body cost free!

CANNING: A visual aid...

What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...

Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...

So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.

Happy canning!

My Silly Visual

When I think about the weight I have lost, I think of it as the 3 pound cans of Crisco. I have lost over 60 pounds which would be like carrying 20 cans of Crisco. Can you imagine carrying 20 cans of Crisco everywhere you go. I have about 23 cans to go (69 pounds).
