I love Bodypump but it took me a while to be brave enough to try it. I have been going for three weeks 2-3 classes each week. Beerfoamy thanks for posting your weights and how long it took to progress to them as that gives me a good idea of what my progress should be. The weight you list is that each end or in total?

Thanks - I really enjoy kettlebells so I'm up for a challenge

My gym has not stop classes from 6.45am to 8.30pm I love Spin, it's a killer but works. I love the lee mills classes and regularly do Bodypump and body attack. I love Sh'bam as well really fun dance exercise to rave/dance music, reminds me of my late teens and early twenties. I went to all the classes at least once and…

Myprotein whey isolate - it's only 95 calories - I have it in smooth chocolate and can easily drink it mixed with just water but actually enjoy the taste with milk slightly better and just keep within CO budget.

Completed day 1

I joined MFP last Monday and due to GF and WF decided to follow low carb diet as it will help adjust to my new lifestyle. Amazed I've lost 6lbs possibly just water though but still cool!

Name: Marianne Age: 44 Height: 5'6ish Current Weight: 167.4 (today's) Challenge Goal Weight: 144 Ultimate Goal Weight: 124 My Motivation: My fitness has suffered as I devoted time to 4 children, hubby is now a retired athlete so finally he was home and my time came but then I was suddenly in pain and having other problems…

So easy to overeat on nuts - that was my problem. I was eating a very clean diet just too much of it. First week of weighing on a low carb diet and I've lost 6lbs, probably water weight, but like to think the weighing of food is more the reason

Best thing I did was join a gym who who offer loads of classes. I do a fab mixture of classes but also go in the gym and do my thing when I want to.

Hi, in the past I've used sweeteners because o can't have sugar but I've never lost weight when using them but that could just be me. That was only in tea and coffee no in any food. But last year just stopped as friends around me said they also had problems dropping weight using sweeteners. I am weighing in tomorrow at the…

Yep raw honey a little bit in warm water with lemon on the morning when I wake up. Pure honey has so many health benifits, I have an allergy to sugar but a little bit of raw honey is ok if it's not raw I can't touch it.

I'd say I'd join you but I go 6 days a week and on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday I'm doing two classes - so I'd feel a cheat - I'm a bit addicted to the feel good factor

I get loads of Pinterest and damndelicious is really good as well, really interesting and tasty meals, but a US site but you get used to it. DeliciouslyElla is good to, uk site, and you can easily add meat to all her dishes.

The exercise is motivating me to keep my food consumption good and clean. It makes me feel great, I mix with like minded people and as well as feeling fitter week on week I'm getting strong. I don't find going to the gym a chore I am pissed if I miss it one day though

Yep since Christmas my weight hasn't changed but my body measurements have and dress size

Happy to add you all, at least we know if we can do it once we can do it again. I'm following the low carb route and trying to do it as a lifestyle thing so I don't cut loads of food to start eating again once I hit my target weight. I guess doing it this way might mean I see the scale moving a bit slower but if it works…

Yep mega heavy periods changing tampons every 1hr an half get through a whole box of 25 in three days - I'm 44 in May and have 4 kids. However accidentally discovered after drinking golden milk every night for two weeks that my period is much lighter and less problematic so now I take it every month - turmeric is an anti…

Trainspotting 2

I'm in bristol I just measure everything on grams but I too have a set of us measuring cups for when needed

Hi I haven't hit it yet but my friends have and exercise has helped with their moods - so they tell me - I haven't really noticed them being moody but then I don't live with them :) Two are following a low carb high fat diet and are losing and one is doing WW and also losing. They all say they find they are dropping the…

How happy that makes me to hear that. Mine can only be from fruits and veggies so I'm getting excited that my weight might actually fall off this time no the carbs are cut

In that case I guess I should do ok I can't have added sugar not even sweet tasting fruit such as mangos. So my only sugar carbs are mainly from natural sugar in veggies and dairy.

This what I was told too I've started Bodypump and love lifting and want to move onto heavy lifting as I've seen the results of some of the ladies who have already moved from BP to the weights floor. I was told to increase my protein and to have my protein shake before and after my workouts. Too early to tell if it's all…

By the way - great drop in weight

Those machines are rubbish our local Tesco one was well out. I was very depressed until my gym measured my body fat. Do you use a gym, if so ask them to measure your body fat

I find the days I don't want to go to the gym are the days I absolutely must go. I always great and charged up when I leave

I feel your pain - i too struggle so try Nuts you only need a few Tablespoon of coconut oil Avocado - mega healthy Sunflower/pumpkin seeds I find it useful to make snack bags with nuts and seeds one for each day as it's also easy to over eat them without realising

I take one. I'm in the West Country, UK and my doctor said everyone would benefit from taking some. Best thing I ever did.
