Apparently... | The Emma Guns Show📝 So, this week was a gain when it came to my weigh-in but we're so close to the end and this really is the last bit to lose so I need to re-focus and get through this gain/plateau I'm on. In other news though, my weight loss 'effort' seems to be triggering for someone...We simply must talk about And Just Like That... and where I think The Real Housewives franchises could do a wee bit better...👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango Sleeveless Vest.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

This is the best thing about goal-setting...
✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843The Best Bit about Goal-Setting... | The Emma Guns Show📝 Will it be an anticlimax when I hit my goal weight? I had to ask myself this when I realised I was back at my Weight Watchers goal weight from 2010. Will it feel different this time around knowing that my weight won't immediately start to creep up again and because the journey has been far more than weight loss and more about personal discovery and feeling good?📰 Though it might seem like I'm being unhelpful, this is why I never tell people what weights I'm using when I work out...👗 In this video I'm wearing:Arket T-shirt.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

I Can't Believe I'm Telling You This! Getting my colours done and the Ozempic backlash.
✍🏼 Subscribe to The Emma Guns ShowI Can’t Believe I’m Telling You This… | The Emma Guns Show📝 First of all, a huge THANK YOU for all the incredible feedback I received after last week’s episode. Your emails and messages are so helpful and really do help me create the podcast, so thank you to everyone who took the time. Let’s kick off with an update on my Weight Loss Effort and how it feels now we’re over two and a half months into consistent strength training, high protein/low fat dieting and intermittent fasting.🌈 I have a dirty little secret about how I got my colours done, but I’m only telling you and I’m only saying it here…📰 Finally, I’ve noticed a shift in tone in the conversation around Ozempic recently. Have you noticed it to? Is it the easy way out and is it a way to lose weight that doesn’t involve consistency, dieting and regular exercise?👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango Round-Neck T-Shirt in Brown.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: The Emma Guns ShowJournalist, podcaster and content creator specialising in beauty, health and lifestyle who has absolutely no time for woo-woo, nonsense or marketing spin.

I Really Messed Up! | Falling off 'the wagon', alcohol and weight loss plus the importance of having a routine to come back to.
✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843I Really Messed Up! | The Emma Guns Show📝 LI mean, I didn't really but it'd be easy to look at the change in my weight and assume I had, right? Instead, this challenge is proving to me what makes me feel good and also giving me a 'normal' to come back to so I never spiral into over-eating and unhelpful/unhealthy food habits again...👗 In this video I'm wearing:An old The Kooples blouse that's no longer available unfortunately.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/ Hosted on Acast.

How rude? People have some nerve, don't they?
✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843How rude? | The Emma Guns Show📝 People have some nerve, don't they? But seeing as someone on social media - faceless account, of course! - has accused me of having a restrictive eating disorder, let's talk about it. For the record, I honestly can't see how making careful and conscious nutrition and training choices to increase muscle mass could be seen as resembling anything close to something restrictive.
