Hi,

I have just started using these workout videos on youtube, you work up a real sweat and they are really good circuit workouts. http://www.youtube.com/user/efit30

Hi and welcome!

First of all: Try not to get caught up in that negative spiral of losing and gaining weight. Most of all: Stay healthy, move more, get stronger. Weight loss comes automatically with that!!

You can find the most awesome workouts on http://www.bodyrock.tv
And you will find TONS of veeeeery good advice on workouts, eating habits and all on http://www.nerdfitness.com

Both are websites hosted by fitness lovers that try to make the most out of the things that life comes with: No fancy protein-intake, no expensive home-gyms, lots of easy recipes and tipps for an overall healthier lifestyle. I love both websites and I do the bodyrock-workouts 3 - 4 times a week (working on more *g*) in combination with tipps I found on nerdfitness. In those videos you can always find easier modifications for beginners or you can search for "bodyweight"-workouts that require nothing else but YOURSELF ;-) That's also what nerdfitness is made of more or less.

Find out for yourself. Focus on the good stuff ;-))))
Good luck

Hi...you need to find what works for you. I feel it's all about knowledge. The more you know about what food contains the easier it is to control what you eat. I enjoy Zumba, walking and swimming and logging this gives me insentive to keep it up. Good luck on your journey :happy:
