crochet weight loss

[squirrel]

Crochet is good for weight loss!

 

Since I started crocheting again after a break of several years I've noticed that I've lost a few pounds.

 

I guess keeping my hands busy stops me snacking

[CLLinda]

That's true. Especially if you like Cheeto's or some other messy snack. You wouldn't dare eat that while crocheting.

 

It keeps your hands busy and your mind occupied. Crochet is very good for the body!

Sounds right to me! I however do not need that. I don't weigh enough. I have to make myself stop so I can eat. Then I can go back to what I was doing. I do the "one more row" thing before getting up. LOL

I lost 4 lbs in two weeks and I am not snacking as much as I used to be, good for me, bad for my SIL's wedding in which I am a bridesmaid and which we already ordered my dress for.

 

I guess I have to sell stash for alteration fees, huh?

Yeah it is quite hard to snack and crochet at one time! HAHA

I once knew a woman who lost 70 pounds and while losing she crocheted a huge rug for the floor of her store which was probably the size of a double garage. Hasn't worked for me, though. Zaraliz

I haven't ever noticed any benefits like weight loss with my crochet (I wish) but when I get home from work and get supper and stuff done I sit down to crochet and that's when I get to decompress from the day. It's instant relaxation!! I look forward to it every night.

Sometimes get home at night and crochet. I don't go for the food most times. I guess that is a good thing right now I am working on a white and beige afgan and I would cry if I got something like cheeto dust or ketchup on it.

I do find crocheting relaxing and therapeutic.

I just wish it could lead to weight loss for me too.

We need to start a Crochet Diet. If you can't slurp it through a straw or eat it without your hands (which are too busy crocheting), then you shouldn't eat it!

 

I'd be a size 4 in no time!

A friend asked me if crocheting relaxed me, and I had to stop and think. I get a real rush when I sit down to start a new project or look through a new book or magazine. I would have to say it stimulates me, and I can't wait to get back to it when I get home from work. Sounds like an addiction! But it doesn't stop me from taking snack breaks...sigh.

Hey, I'm not gonna knock the diet thing!! I've been crocheting practically non-stop since mid-November, and I've lost 10 lbs!! Yay me!! Just another 40 more to go...

[OnyxArtWorks]

Ha ha! maybe that expalins why I've lost 6 lbs... but, in retrospect, I don't have much to lose.

It's good to hear that you have weight loss with crocheting. Sadly I've gained some weight since I've been crocheting more. I think I'm less active and getting older might play into it for me. Jane
