This was more like the one I saw on UK TV thanks. I found it on UK Amazon called i-joy, there's another one that looks lighter and is cheaper but is a mechanical action so you kind of do the work yourself. i'm guessing that would burn more calories than just sitting on the motorised version? I'm not sure if I'll have…

I've no idea what my percentage is but I just cut white carbs bread/pasta/rice etc. I didn't count the carbs in vegetables and fruit. I guess in a curry with alot of veg and cauliflower instead of rice the meal still has quite a lot of carbs but they are all healthy ones? The most calories is usually in the small amount of…

Cytomel is popular on body building forums as part of a stack but I don't know if can get it in UK without prescription. I found Tiromel on eBay once and got some but can't find same guy and mine's run out. I'm trying a T3 booster thing thats meant to boost the amount of T3 you're body makes. I think my T3 levels are low.…

I've been tending to eat like this anyway as I was trying fat burners before an early morning workout to boost metabolism and if I took them after food it made me sick. so was eating breakfast after 9am when got back from dog's walk (well actually just a slim fast shake), sometimes another shake for lunch or sometimes just…

I got it as a xmas present so I haven't really wasted any money but I do like it. I like the game I call 'box-a-bear' it's in the games section I think you have to unlock it. you run down a woodland path and every so often a bear pops out and you have to box it, further down a little guy suddenly pops up too you have to…

Exerbeat is a great game it also has boxing and karate and dancing on so you can mix some of those games in too so you don't get bored with all slow exercises. As you unlock more they get longer too so get routines nearly up to an hour long. I only paid £9.99 for mine on Amazon Marketplace. I got a new one to try called…

I went gluten free in middle of last August. I lost 7lb in first week, 18lbs in next 6 weeks (to end of sept) and 16lbs the month after... then it slowed down to 5lb then 2lb a month and then stalled. I have been having problems with my monthly cycles the last month or so when I gained few pound back and now can't get…

I tried OEP and it hasn't done anything. I got better results on Capsiplex when I first started diet and lost loads initially but the next lot seemed to cause severe heartburn, my throat and stomach felt like it was on fire within a few minutes of taking it and made me feel really sick. I wasn't sure if they had changed…

I took a break and am having difficulty getting back into it myself. Sometimes I might try getting a new exercise DVD or Wii game to see if that will help re-motivate me or try a different diet see how much I can lose on a different diet. It just gives body something different to what's it got used to and sometimes works…

Here's thyroid group on here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/770-hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism I was born with mine not working, it was stable through childhood and early adulthood until early 30's. Up till then I stayed around 9st 7 and was physically active and fully mobile. My thyroid started going wrong…

I've gone gluten free over the last year and my periods have also started coming early and just recently only 2 weeks after the last one! I never considered it could be that! I just assumed I was starting peri-menopause as I'm 43 and do incidentally also have thyroid problems.

Thanks I discovered a few days after posting this my monthlies started again.. I wasn't expecting them as it was only 2 weeks since the last ones ended. I'm 43 so not sure if its beginning of menopause to why periods are playing up or due to the dieting. They have finished again now but I still only back to 9st 7 and can't…

Thanks... I'm only 5ft 3 and half so 16st was overweight! 9st7 was in the middle of my healthy weight.. Wii fit said 9st 3 and once I'd got to 9st 7 after not believing it possible I wanted to get the last few pounds off to finish the game, but my old Wii is playing up anyway. I'd got a new black one with black balance…

I found the chocolate shakes good cos I get cravings bad at TOM so it helped that I could stick to two shakes, as the choc flavour ones satisfied my cravings as had two choc ones those days!

I've just bought some more. I had some last year and got good results and switched to regular food, weight loss slowed but still losing. I was a pound off my goal last month and expecting to have reached it this month but have gained 7lb so I've bought some more slim fast to drop the last 8lb and reach my goal by next…

Think I relaxed too much and ate too much, stuff that hadn't been part of my diet for a year (started last June).. annoying when I was 1 lb off goal and so sure that after next monthlies I was gonna hit goal when water came off, only to find I had gone up 7! :sad: I thought I'd be lighter after a workout as I had sweated…

These are the mechanical scales and I thought we're meant to be lighter fist thing in morning than any other time. Yesterday I went to bathroom after eating main meal so can't be much food in stomach and I'd weighed before I had eaten anything this morning. I had been mainly gluten free but last week I'd gone to Asda…

I got tape measure too and checked my waist and stomach was still same measurements as I had lost an inch recently off both. They are still the same. I was 9st 4 before last monthlies expected to go up by about 4lbs then lose it the week after so was shocked to find I'm 9st 12. What I can't understand is how I can be…

I don't get this either if I exercise after each meal burning the cals back off that I've just eaten, then surely I should be at a deficit and forcing body to find extra energy from stored fat? so if i eat 300 cals for lunch then exercise 316 I've burned off 300 of my lunch cals, if do same at teatime eating 600cal meal…

In some people you can store more around there if you have intolerance to wheat and if drop wheat lose alot of the water and consequently some inches, that happened to me. I lost 7lbs first week, 18lbs by end of 6 week and 16lb the month after but then it slowed down.. i guess cos body had got rid of all excess water or…

lol! well I had been more relaxed as last month got to within 1lb of my goal but after my TOTM the water hasn't all come back off again so decided to go back stricter and weigh everything and cut all carbs just till next Tuesday when I get weighed on proper hospital scales to see what weight they say I am. I have…

I went low carb last year after couldn't lose weight at first I just cut all white carbs so no bread, potatoes, pasta, rice with meals and lost 7lb in first week, probably mostly water... it doesn't seem to work as well now though I had gone onto gluten free and try to us it only when craving them bad like when have…

I cut white carbs and have been doing lots of core exercises with an everlast slimming belt on that really makes me sweat loads around middle. Despite been told they don't make any difference I lost inches last time I used one, stopped losing inches when I stopped (just lost weight but no inches) then started losing inches…

well done.. I lost 18lb one month and 16lb another when I first started and dropped all white carbs and first started exercising, it slows down after a while though and the pounds get harder to get off!!

My original goal was 9st 7 and I got there and decided I still don't like my tummy, it still biggest area and shrunk in other areas I wasn't trying to (ie.. boobs!). I'm trying lots of lower body exercises like pedalling and pilates working core work with one of those fat belts that makes you sweat more around tummy in…

I'd got bored this last month or so with been on diet and same routines. I don't have access to gym though and have physical disabilities that rule out alot of stuff so finding new stuff I can do is a big challenge. I feel I've gained but my scales were erratic when went on them the other day went from 9st 1 to 10st 3 in a…

ok thanks.. I had bought some a while back was using it with view to shrinking fibroids rather than actually losing weight. It didn't seem to be doing much but then I got seriously into the weight loss thing last June after realising I had put on another stone (originally had gone from 9st 7 to 16st from thyroid going…

I started off well after dropping wheat and going low carb but then it had slowed down by last xmas (started last June) After xmas I've only lost a few pounds each month and also usually only the week when water came off at end of period. At last TOTM I didn't lose anything the week after at all and month before only 1lb…

I was thinking more of healthy snack ideas as can't just have olive oil as a snack. What do you mean by animal fats?.. sliced meats as a snack or something like pork pies? As I mentioned nuts (or anything derived from nuts is out including coconut, almonds etc)
