  • I am 41. Started lifting only 2 months ago so very new to it and started strong curves last week. Not excercise sun 2 years. Have put on weight though in 10 weeks - 2kg!! Don't look any different although husband said I look healthier and that 'rome wasn't built in a day'. Have been eating sensibly. Suppose am being…
  • Hi. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 3 months ago. In retrospect I had every single symptom but kept finding excuses (working shifts, young kids, getting old, feeling cold because I am South American....). I noticed the difference within a month of starting levothyroxine (even the facial swelling, bags and ankle swelling).…
  • I was diagnosed with hashimotos 3 months ago. I am not overweight but maybe 5-7kg off my norm. I had every single symptom. After 1 month of being on meds, and feeling much better (couldn't believe the difference 1 little pill made- the swollen bags under the eyes, swollen ankles, heavy periods, depression,the air hunger…
  • Agree with above about it tasting better sliced and slowly roasted. Goes sweet. I always thought fennel tasted like toothpaste. Used to hate it but now it's ok. Not my favourite... However, I love liquorice! Especially the salty Norwegian / scandanavian liquorice...
  • I am on week 5 alpha. I too dread TBC! Can't do spider push ups! Follow tania most of the time on TBC. Nailed abs this week for 1st time. Not lost any weight and am only now seeing some visible results. Bit off hips but most noticeably 2cm off the muffin top. Husband said my abdomen looks more toned. I definitely feel…
  • Redoing week 5 alpha as didn't manage to do day 5 last week. Also still struggling with TBC. Tania is my friend! Spider push ups?!!! However, nailed abs today. I have finally got some results after almost 6 weeks. Have lost a bit off hips and muffin top. My abs look more toned, I think. No actual weight change but as long…
  • Now 125/56.7kg (was 127.8). Think a lot if normal fluctuation. Have however over last 6 weeks list 2 cm from around belly button and 1cm off muffin top. Finally some tangible results!! L
  • Done day 2 week 5 alpha. 3 TBC this week! Struggling. Think will re do week 5 next week. Follow Tanya half the time, and even then I sometimes struggle. Did you move on to beta no matter what or do you have to nail all of them before moving on? Haven't lost any weight and only 1cm from hips and half from waist. Oh well.…

  • Hi all. New to group. End of week 4 alpha for me. No change in stats apart from 1cm hips. No weight change. Still struggling with mainly TBC, lower focus and abs. Should I move to beta anyway in a week? Live it but getting despondent as no change. I know I need to be patient as have little to lose. I am feeling fitter…
  • End of week 4 for me and nada! Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy it (although total body circuits especially, and lower focus are gruelling to say the least - can't do them) but feeling despondent. Think I have lost 1cm off my hips. I don't have much to lose. Am 165cm (5'5) and weigh about 57kg (126 pounds I think) but…
