  • Feel free to add me. I'm here most days. :)
  • Hi, my calorie intake and spinning classes / weights programme is considered agressive but I'm a big believer in "what works for you" is fine. I change my plan every 4 weeks to keep things interesting. All I would say is be very aware of how you feel and don't be afraid to up the carbs a little if your energy levels are…

  • Hey.... good luck to you. Hardest part is the first steps. :) Add me if you wish, I'm on here most days.
  • I appreciate you have knowledge of this subject from an educated reply (which I do appreciate) but why do you assume my body needs 2600 calories per day ? That's too much for me...
  • I agree, to a point. I can't live on 1250 calories per day if I'm also training 4 days per week but on my training days its more like 1650 per day and 1250 when in not training. Everybody is different. No medical facts on calorie minimums can apply to the varied matabolisims, shapes, sizes, lifestyle, stress and attitudes…
  • Maybe I need to add more detail as some of the 1200 calorie bashing is a little on the extreme. My intake is a nett 1250. The more i exercise, the more i eat. On days of spinning classes (4 per week) followed by some resistance training, I take in approx 1650 calories but burn around 400. The 1250 cals is aimed at the days…
  • Staying on 1200 cals per day, not eating rubbish, drinking plenty of water, getting plenty of sleep and exercising (Spin& Gym) 4 times per week.
  • Add me, I'm on the same journey
  • Every day we get a chance to start again. If you can have a great yesterday and feel wonderful tomorrow you will find with focus and you as a prioroity, today will stay on plan. Good luck.
  • Be the best you, you can be ! Go girl, you look great ☺
  • There is a couple of things that I focus on. I have a pair of 501's that i had when I was 18. (I'm now 44) and I would never throw them away as I love them. They will be mine.... i will look like an idiot but a slim idiot. Also. I read some facts on ageing and weight gain so I decided to reset my weight back to when I was…
  • Hi Sara. Its actually not that much when you are awake for 16 hours per day. When you exercise and recover you need hydration so the red blood cells work to their full potential and they oxygenate the muscles. I break my water down into a minimum of 6 half litre catagories every 2 1/2 hours. 2 drinks of lemon water(one as…
  • Hi there, drink 3 litres of water per day and when you start strength training switch your diet to high protein and eat 5 small meals per day. And finally If you can find the time to go swimming 3 times per week that will also help along with your HIIT. Good luck.... ps you look wonderful !
