http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/3528-p90x-challenge-2-27-12 This group started p90x this week/ last week. I've just finished week1 of lean, lost 3.5lb this week after a 4 week plateau. Hoping to get well On my way to goal with p90x and tone up in the process.

I bought a great DVD called fight-fx from Amazon, it's like body combat (les mills class) and they release a new DVD each quarter with new routine/workout. Burns loads if calories.

<cheapo wide fabrics headbands from primark, and a few kirby grips to hold it in place. This one stayed in for the 7 hours it took me to do the London marathon last year!!

when your eyelids are sweaty and you try to rub it with your arm but that just adds more sweat to your eyes! Or when you try to get down the stairs after a gym class and you need to hang on to the rail cos you feel like bambi.

I had one [deep fried pizza] once, by accident! I bought a pizza on the way home from the pub in my first term at uni in Glasgow (I was ather drunk!) it wasn't until i got home that i realised they'd given me a polystyrene tray. i opened it wondering what on earth they'd given me, presuming the wrong order. NOPE, deep…

I just started p90x yesterday, if you don't mind can i join in too? i'm following the Lean schedule, having watched most of the dvds yesterday i think classic might be a bit too hard just now. edit: spelling

my downfall is usually the text from my boyfriend when he leaves work late in the evening. "need anything" usually code for, "I'm going to the chippy do you want something". and on a good day it's me replying to him to collect milk or something from the supermarket, and on a terrible day it's the "erm... what were you…

I also don't do lent, but that was my new year's resolution, to NOT give up. i have to say I've been fairly motivated this year too, certainly more than last year.

I found using a body brush has reduced the appearance of my cellulite dramatically, after my sister told me my legs looked terrible (whilst getting ready as bridesmaid on the morning of her wedding! Long dress tho!) I started massaging my thighs & bum with a massager thing (circular disc with knobbly bits on one side) and…

I've been seriously looking at p90x this week too. I was doing 30ds but think I prefer longer workouts. I found someone selling p90x in gumtree for less than half the price of the website. gonna try it and if it's not for me it's going straight back on gumtree or eBay, slightly worried about the push ups & pull ups but…

Is this workout suitable for me to do in a 1st floor flat? I'm thinking of buying it, but don't want the neighbours complaining if I'm leaping about!

What about a timer plug? You could set it to come on say 9 or 10am and it'd be perfect when you get in. Having said that I also leave mine on all day. Apparently only uses the same electricity as a lightbulb so shouldn't go on fire so long as there's liquid in it and the seal is good so it doesn't dry out.

you can work out kcal per serving using recipe section of diary, just add all your ingredients and the number of portions you'really gonna divide it into, I label the recipe in 'my recipes' with the date and write this on the tub for the freezer with a CD pen, then I just add to diary when I eat it. perfect portion…

I bought one from Aldi, 'Crane' brand with a chest strap. it was only about £20 last year. You have to watch out for them as they only get them in occasionally. I don't know how accurate it is compared to the bigger brands (polar etc.) but it seems comparable and is very motivating. I am eventually gonna treat myself to a…

I've recently given up WW. had good success on the previous plan (UK) but when they changed to propoints (same as points plus in the US) it just felt a bit too much like calculating things for calculatings sake and i found it harder to choose foods. why not just look at the actual content of the foods and make a decision,…

Yea i've tried doing the jumping jacks in 30ds in the doorway where it doesn't seem to thump as much! But it's really not ideal!

I went to Caley uni too!!

body flow is called Body Balance here in the UK, I have worn my hrm a few times and usually burn around 340 in a 45 min class (express class with no relaxation and usually no twist track) I seem to work really hard, sweating from the sun salutations. no, it's not as much as a cardio class, but I think it's increased my…

1. Where were you born? The Wirral 2. Where do you live at the moment? Glasgow 3. Where else have you lived? no where, came to Glasgow for uni in 1998, met my boyfriend & stayed! 4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? I'm a therapy radiographer currently, my dream job would probably be something…

i like yogamazing podasts from youtube and www.yogamazing.com

Glasgow here! x

i'd like to join if there's still space! sw 186lb

i don't get heatburn any more!! i didn;t notice it had gone until i put a few lbs back on and it came back. EEEUUGH! it's sooo horrid. Was a definate motivator to get the weight back off!

Me too! Think it'd be a great motivation. Lots of you have GREAT losses on your tickers! Well done!

When I first moved to Glasgow From the Wirral (about 14 yrs ago) I was caught out after a night out with a pizza supper. Just assumed it would na a normal pizza with chips, oh no.... Deep fried. Cos I was drunk I didn't notice and happily carried my box home. Only when I tried to eat it and couldn't work out where all the…

I've discovered Scottish Slimmers venison sausages, think they're only available at the mo in scotland but they're only 55 cal per sausage and really tasty and meaty, not like the usual low-fat sausage filled with rice etc to bulk out.

Wow! You look fab! Great inspiration. I'm just starting on my MFP journey. Hoping for results like yours! Claire X

Hi! I'm in Glasgow too, but originally from the Wirral. nice to meet you all :-) Claire

Hi there! I'm Claire, I'm a radiographer living in Glasgow, but originally from The Wirral. I've been a weightwatchers disciple for many years, but am finding it increasingly difficult to stick to it. Joined MFP to give myself a kick up the b*m! originally 2 stone with ww, but have gradually put 1 back on (despite going to…
