45. Do you have a rest day when you don’t work out? Which day is it?
Yes, but it's not a set day. Lately I've only been "resting" on the days I end up working doubles. I'm too tired to work out then!0 -
8. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
67 kg..
So I lost 1 kg!
Going on, is my plan.. day after day...0 -
23. How much water do you usually drink in a day?
Depends if I remember to pack my water bottle so that I can drink while I'm driving around or walking round the shops etc. If so then easily 8 glasses (2 litres), but if not then probably 4-5 glasses.0 -
9. What is your favorite type of cardio?
dancing, dancing, dancing - ok, I'm a dancer, dance teacher and dance therapist ;-)
and the I bike a lot as this is my way of getting somewhere and getting home. And I live uphill, so it's usually quite heavy biking on my way back.0 -
46. Try changing your routine today. Don’t do the same exercises as the week before, learn a new move to cinch that waiste or to tone those thighs!
Already changed it this week, had to start an evening workout program cause I work in the mornings now. And how my legs hurt today!0 -
47. Have you forbidden yourself any type of food?
No, I don't believe so. I know my program won't work if I limit myself. I've learned portion control, still learning portion sizes since I don't own a scale. But I still have soda (duet and once in a blue moon), bake my own deserts, pasta, pizza, etc.0 -
24. Have you ever had an eating disorder?
No but on two occasions I had a total loss of appetite and hardly ate a thing for at least 6 months each time - once when I was 17 and had a serious body image problem, and once when I was 23 and my relationship was breaking down. Now when I'm depressed I stuff my face... kinda makes me hanker for the old days LOL0 -
10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?
It's for the moment set on 1450 kcal a day, but on day with a lot of training or teaching there's up to 1000 kcal burnt by 'exercising'. I try to not go over 2000 though. And it works not bad.0 -
48. Do you reward yourself when you reach your short-term goal? What are your rewards?
Yes new hair cut, new workout clothes, new fitness stuff. I'm trying to think of something new for when I lose every ten pounds, I just can't think of anything I want right now.0 -
35. Have you ever fasted? What was the reason for it?
Yes, cholesterol test.
36. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
233.8, I have gained. Exercise, I am going to ignore the doctor and go hiking.
37. Have you ever purged? If so, how did you feel afterwords?
Tried to once, but couldn’t do it.
38. Have you ever binged? If so, what is your binge food?
Overate on a favorite or good food, yes, overate on a favorite food that I rarely ever eat, no. I don’t habitually deny myself a food so I never get to the binge point.0 -
48. Do you reward yourself when you reach your short-term goal? What are your rewards?
I have not reached a short term goal yet but I will be sure to buy myself some new clothes and maybe have a new piercing or tattoo when i do0 -
10. Do you count calories?
-Yes I do. At least I try to. I should be eating 1200 a day according to myfitnesspal.
I struggle with that amount quite a bit. It just doesn't seem like enough
But I am desperate to lose weight so I try and try.
If I need to snack a little more than usual I try to squeeze in a longer work out.0 -

1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?
-- Height: 5'3"
--Weight: 222
--Goal Weight: 150
I want to lose weight to not only feel better about myself, but to live a long and fulfilling life. Thankfully my weight is pretty much spread evenly over my body so it's not just all in my belly or all in my thighs. I just want to be smaller everywhere and keep my curves. If I lost them I would cry.0 -
12. What is your least favorite type of cardio?
I don't like running, but maybe it's due to poor technique... or not doing it at all...
Maybe I should try it again ;-)0 -

Oh this sounds like fun
I'm 216 pounds roughly, 5'7, and my goal weight is anywhere between 160-180. Depends how I feel I guess.
And I'm loosing weight to feel better about myself and to be healthy. Plus I'm going to Mexico next April
Feel free to add!0 -
50. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
200.75, I think mornings are throwing me off so I have to find a new way to make it all work. I think it mainly maybe just eat less.0 -
26. Do your friends know about you wanting to lose weight? Do they support you?
A couple of friends know and are supportive - they're already fit and slim so we don't swap weight loss woes but they do really encourage me, and one of them has even signed up to do a 5k run with me next month. Apart from them, my parents and my bf, no one else really knows about it. I'm happy to share my running successes (once I've achieved them!), but I've found in the past that when I'm trying to lose weight I always scupper myself when everyone knows. This time I've decided to keep quiet about it and get on with it. I'll only mention it if people start commenting that I'm losing weight.0 -
51. Do you have a cheat day?
No. Cheating just sounds so bad. I do have days in which I eat more, and I always eat what I want.0 -

at moment it's kettlebell swings. two armed and one armed. And two special kinds of crunches. One is in different angles crosslateral and comes from Bartenieff Fundamentals and the other has a complicated name (I can't remember it) but you lie on a cushion or something to lift your back a little and go from back bent to up... veeeeery slow... outch... it's great!
