This is the best thing about goal-setting...

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?π° 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...π In this video I'm wearing:Arket T-shirt.*contains affiliate links.π§ Contact me:office@emmaguns.comπ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:π± 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.
βπΌ Subscribe to The Emma Guns ShowI Canβt Believe Iβm Telling You Thisβ¦ | The Emma Guns Showπ First of all, a huge THANK YOU for all the incredible feedback I received after last weekβs 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. Letβs kick off with an update on my Weight Loss Effort and how it feels now weβre over two and a half months into consistent strength training, high protein/low fat dieting and intermittent fasting.π I have a dirty little secret about how I got my colours done, but Iβm only telling you and Iβm only saying it hereβ¦π° Finally, Iβve 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 doesnβt involve consistency, dieting and regular exercise?π In this video I'm wearing:Mango Round-Neck T-Shirt in Brown.*contains affiliate links.π§ Contact me:office@emmaguns.comπ 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.

βπΌ Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843How rude? | The Emma Guns Showπ 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.
