Nah it's great. Only have warm shower when I wanna be in there for a while and listen to music or a podcast. But on a workday a cold shower is good way to get your morning going.

Ive recently started doing this too. I’m still at the stage where my cries can be heard throughout the house…”Fuck me! Jesus Christ No”!…but I’ve noticed it getting easier and I do feel more awake/invigorated after.Nah it's great.

I think for me after 2 weeks I just noticed it didn't hit me as much. Get a timer for the shower. Try to do one min then extendIve recently started doing this too.

Yes, I’ve been to the fairly new One Wellness place on Queen’s Road. It was amazing!! Could only do a couple of minutes in the 1 degree C ice bath, but did 3 circuits of it with a nice infra red sauna session as well.Anybody tried ice / cold water therapy?
I think I've seen that. Is it expensive?Yes, I’ve been to the fairly new One Wellness place on Queen’s Road. It was amazing!! Could only do a couple of minutes in the 1 degree C ice bath, but did 3 circuits of it with a nice infra red sauna session as well.
Highly highly highly recommend!! I also had the best night of sleep afterwards
Yeah I would be interested to know. Having a real cleanse this summer so far and could add this to itI think I've seen that. Is it expensive?
I found it very reasonably priced. You can have a whole room to yourself for an hour, which I think cost around £45 from memory (I might be wrong though as it was a few months ago)…so that is an ice bath, your own infra red sauna and a couple of loungers. However, if you possibly got a few friends to join you then you can split the cost.I think I've seen that. Is it expensive?

Alternatively there is the communal room, which I think is around £20 for a session.
Definitely well worth it.
I am sure if you popped in and asked if they had any discounts going, then they might work something out for you
Do they put you in the ice bath lol
Even if I do cold showers I worry I wouldn't take the plunge and go in without some help
Yes I do cold showersYou want them to lift you up and put you in? That might be an extra at a weird place.
Do you do cold showers already?
Yes I do cold showers
Just think might need someone to encourage me to jump into a ice bath though
Also for safety surely someone needs to observe!
Get yourself in a calorie deficit. You're already tracking your calories which is a good start. Work out your metabolic base rate. This will tell you how many calories you burn doing basically nothing. Then any workouts, walking etc can be added on to you bmr. A good rule of thumb is if you are in say 500 calories deficit per day, you'll lose around 2lbs of fat per week. Don't forget though, it's harder to lose fat when you don't have as much to lose. Also muscle tends to weigh more than fat, and as youre weight training, you'll be adding muscle, so don't get too hung up on what the scales say. Give James Smith PT a Google, he explains it way better than me. Good luckWould appreciate some suggestions, have been stuck between 15-15.5 st for a long time now, despite adding strength workouts and continuing to track my calories it’s basically at a standstill.
Any thoughts on what else I could try?
Been in a calorie deficit for almost a year now-my main concern is that my metabolism has gotten so low it’s essentially at my current calorie goal.Get yourself in a calorie deficit.

My waist measurement is about 40 inches around the belly button, it was more like 42 a while ago.Is your body changing though? Might be the same weight but changing otherwise.
Bulk for a month. Go over calories but keep weight training and keep the meals healthyBeen in a calorie deficit for almost a year now-my main concern is that my metabolism has gotten so low it’s essentially at my current calorie goal.
Do you have cheat days? They're really important to keep the metabolism guessing and helps the calorie burn on normal days.Been in a calorie deficit for almost a year now-my main concern is that my metabolism has gotten so low it’s essentially at my current calorie goal.

When I went to One Wellness, there was a very helpful gentleman who introduced me to breathing techniques when in the ice bath, and he timed me. He was there for the first two rounds and then left me to do as I wanted for the rest of the sessionYes I do cold showers

Although not strictly about reducing weight, you might find cutting down on ultra processed foods might help. Read Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra Processed People recently and have made some changes to my diet. I thought I used to eat healthily but that book was an eye opener.Been in a calorie deficit for almost a year now-my main concern is that my metabolism has gotten so low it’s essentially at my current calorie goal.
Recently been doing similar and having yoghurts for breakfast. Early days but feels good so far.Been trying to keep up a regular exercise routine for a while now, finally found a simple routine that really suits me.
30 mins every morning on my recumbent exercise bike whilst working a variety of dumbells on upper body and catching up on the TV news.
Shower, light breakfast, bit of fresh air, great start to the day.
I know it seems obvious but what do you eat if no sugar at all?Currently on a no sugar diet and dropped 7kg in 5 weeks.
You'll be fine in a couple of yearsHaving a newborn is making it very hard to get into any sort of routine.
