Welcome to the Ten Top Tips diary.
Over the next ten weeks, our specialist dietician from Weight Concern, Alison Chipperfield, will be following the progress of Stacey, Emma, Mike and Liz as they take on the Ten Top Tips.
Ten Top Tips is a weight loss programme based on scientific evidence and the tips are designed to be habit forming and fit easily into everyday life. When it comes to weight, many people don't realise that it can affect their risk of cancer. In fact, maintaining a healthy bodyweight is one of the best ways to reduce your chances of getting cancer.
Each week, read about how our volunteers are progressing, their successes and challenges, and how their lifestyle habits are changing for the better. And by following their progress, you too can pick up handy hints that can support you in following Ten Top Tips.
Meet the participants...
Liz Ainsworth Age: 31 "In my 20s I didn't really think about how what I did now would harm my health in the future. However, since turning 30 I have become more concerned with taking care of myself".
Mike Chapman Age: 46 "My target is to lose 9Kgs, and I'm hoping that my involvement with the programme will force me to be disciplined enough to achieve that result".
Emma Russell Age: 23 "I used to be very sporty, holding places on my schools netball, hockey and swim squad and enjoying kickboxing and skiing in my own time. However this came to an abrupt end when I discovered wine, boys and a social life".
Stacey Delaney Age: 24 "I'd like to feel healthier and less tired. Too much partying often leaves my skin dry and I'd like to have a more healthy glow about me".
