Aiding my weight loss goals with Huel

Stayed at a steady 12 Stone 4.25 - 4.75 this week. So not lost anything which is a bit annoying! I don’t know if I’m building muscle a bit though as well as burning fat, from my martial arts, but I wouldn’t have thought I’d be building too much muscle? Not enough to cancel out any fat loss. What I should have done was measure my self in the beginning - oh well :slight_smile:

One thing I noticed this week though is my hair - my hair has been amazing since I’ve been on Huel! I usually have to wash it very often as it gets greasy really quickly, but I’ve noticed it has been so much better this week. Must be a sign I’m getting the right nutrients. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Currently: 12 Stone 4.75

Don’t worry about the slight fluctuations, keep at it and the trend will be downwards.

I hear this so much, that and people’s nails improving! We shouldn’t do a L’Oreal style you’re worth it advert. Thanks for volunteering Danielle :+1:

My nails have always been quite good, but my hair has been terrible so it was a nice surprise :slight_smile:

Haha this made me laugh :rofl:

Well this mornings news is I had to come down a rung on my bra to tighten it, so have definitely lost inches around my back :+1: Which made my Monday morning a bit more bearable! Weigh in was 12 Stone 4.25 this morning, hoping to make it into the 3 pounds this week :muscle:

This mornings weigh in: 12 Stone 1.75 :star_struck: It’s day 36 of my Huel journey (so a little over a month) and I reckon that’s pretty good going.

Just a few more pounds left to lose until a stone!!!

Another quarter of a pound down so now at 12 Stone 1.5 pounds :slightly_smiling_face: I noticed over the last few days I’ve been losing a lot of water again, so I must have been retaining it hence the no weight loss for quite a few days.

Next milestone is hitting the 12 stone mark!!

Had a bit of an up and down week this week :shushing_face: I had some chocolate and other treats over last weekend, and then was ill at the beginning of the week so my exercise regime went down the pan! But happy to say that I’m back to my lowest of 12 Stone 1.25 today, so hoping to carry on going down from now.

Have ordered a new lot of Huel today, decided to carry on with one bag of vanilla and one of the u/u - having half and half is still working quite well. Also ordered some different flavour drops as need something other than strawberry! I wanted to get the chocolate premix but have heard such mixed opinions (mostly bad) that decided against it this time!

It’s been two months now - and I have to say I do feel healthier. I’m still at 12 Stone, haven’t gone down anymore yet but confident it will continue to help me lose weight whilst still getting everything my body needs.

I’ve been stalling a bit with the weight loss - still be on the shakes for breakfast and lunches, although I slip up a bit at weekends when I’m at home - I really need to stop doing that as that’s whats causing me to drop anymore pounds. I have however now lost a stone :slight_smile:

3 March: 12 Stone 12 pounds
Today: 11 Stone 12 Pounds
Lost: 1 Stone (14 pounds)

It’s slow going but I’m sticking at it cause I know I’m healthier and I feel so much better for it. I have a holiday in 6 weeks and I’m trying to wait as long as possible until I buy holiday clothes incase I can lose just a few more inches off the waist!!

Pee, poop, clean out ears, pluck eyebrows, take off all clothes, THEN weigh. That’s my strategy. Need all the help I can get :joy:
