hi, i started working out at home when i desperately wanted to loose weight for my wedding. i bought Jillian Michaels '30 day shred' for about £5 on amazon. all three levels are on youtube for free though. i highly recommend! i lost 2 stone and over 3 dress sizes in 6 months of doing that dvd and rotating with some of her…

i used to workout at night until i posted here about preferences on am or pm excersise. i really changed my thinking and now i workout in the morning. i'm up at 6am, have a quick coffee and then i workout at home. i'm usually done by 7:15am and it's set me up for the day ahead of work. if you can try switching for a few…

thank you all. i'm trying to lose a few lbs that i put on since getting married 6 months ago but i am eating more calories than i was when i was actually trying to lose stones before our wedding and using the apps recommendations. i have an active job and just think i feel a bit fried from that lately.

sorry to bump this thread up again but i just wanted to thank all of you who inspired me to actually switch my workouts from evenings to first thing in the morning. i'm on my second week and i'm LOVING it!! it's transformed my days so much! the thought of going back to night time works outs is just..... err no!! i'm…

you guys are inspiring! thank you. i've worked out in the evening every night this week but finally got my *kitten* up this morning! i've had a quick small coffee and am about to hit it!

i feel like that! my babe did the same.

i like to sit down for a bit before bed because i am on my feet all day. up and down ladders and i take a 10 minute lunch break sat on a paint tin. apart from my drive to work, i really am stood up all day. i like a bit of chill time with my husband before i pass out at the end of the day. again thanks all for your…

thank you all so much! you're all amazing! unfortunately i went to bed far too late last night as my husband needed help installing some flipping wall speakers once he got in at 7:30pm so i didn't hit my bed until midnight! it wasn't planned so i'll workout tonight then do my first morning one tomorrow morning. i was…

oh my gosh! you guys are all amazing getting up at 4am!!! i thought 6:30am was a good start. only trouble is i don't go to bed at 8pm or 9pm. i've only just sat down now from my day and it's 9:15pm. i'll be up for at least another 2 hours. i'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. thanks for all your tips and routines - it's…

wow, thank you all for your replies. i definitely prefer the idea of working out first thing. it's not so much fear of death, just curious if it was particularly unbeneficial to train on an empty stomach. when i workout in the evening, it's before i've cooked dinner but obviously i have eaten during the day. i'll…

sorry meant to add - if you do eat/drink, what do you have and how long before? thanks

sorry for the nakedness but i am so pleased !

Thank you all SO much for your replies. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to you. To answer some of your questions, I have lost 13lbs since January. I don't really need to lose anymore as I'm now 8st 3. I need to to learn how to maintain though. I'm not really sure how to do that. I know some of you may say I…

thank you! yes I usually eat over my allocated calories by a few hundred so that when I've worked out I'm at 1200 ish. I only dropped to 1200 as MMF gave me that as a recommended amount to lose 1-2lbs a week. I don't usually skip meals but due to hammering the work and not stopping all weekend, my calorie intake was…

thanks you all so much fot your replies. I will check these out! keen to move onto a new one... x

oh thank you all so much for your replies. you've helped me massively! i was feeling a bit glum about it yesterday. i do feel bigger but the part about 3500+ calories over maintence has really helped me see its not actually possible. even though I ate bad foods, i didn't over eat them. I was over on my daily calorie intake…
