My Trampoline Experiences
When I Was younger I could eat anything I wanted, sit around for as long as I wanted and not think about the weight I wasn’t putting on. Then I started my family, I had 3 children, 4 years apart from the oldest to the youngest. That is when the weight really started to pile on.
I must have tried every single diet going, soup diets, cereal diets, the diets, where you eat no carbohydrates, eating 3 very low fat meals a day, nothing worked. I tried dieting whilst going to the gym, then I was finding that the few odd pounds that I did lose was being straight back on when I had eaten nothing but a lettuce leaf for weeks then went out for that sneaky Chinese. But what was I suppose to do? I am a Mother, people cant seriously expect me not to socialise, I need some salvation once and a while. I was never big but I was big for my height, I weighed about 12 stone and I am only 5ft.My husband always tells me I am beautiful and that my weight does not matter but as a woman you always feel that you could be slimmer.
Then it happened, My eldest son had been round his friends house for a play day and when I picked him up he said to me “Mum, can we get a Trampoline, my friend has one, we have been playing on it all afternoon”. So I called his mum, I thought he was talking about one of those mini trampolines you see in sports shops, but this trampoline was huge. It was surrounded by a huge safety net with a little step ladder to help you get onto it.
I had a look online and found a great one that would fit in my garden but was big enough for all 3 of my children to jump around and avoiding collisions. I was surprised at how cheap it was. The children were warn out by the time I put them to bed.
One night I decided to have a go myself. I must have jumped for a good 30 minutes, I had so much fun. To my amazement after 2 weeks I had lost 5lbs, so I carried on jumping an eating well. I jumped with the kids and when they had gone to bed. My Husband noticed a huge change in me after a month or so, I had lost a stone in 6 weeks, I felt so fit and healthy. The amount of exercise I was getting was also lightening my mood, it was a win, win situation for everyone.
6 Months on I have lost 2 stone and I have never felt better. My Trampoline was by far the best diet I have ever been on.
