someone asked where i want to be in two years time, it nearly brought tears to my eyes, a stark reminder that if i kept doing what i was going i would stay avoiding life and feeling uncomfortable & embarrassed every time i went out. i didn't start right away but i did start. i was also asked to be a bridesmaid the end of…

I'm a rebel and i don't care! oops bit late - that was for trip mom

same here distinctive preference of introversion and sensing, moderate of the other two

how about writing down why you would like to lose the weigh, and take a few minutes to imagine how you'd feel at your goal weight. take one day at a time. just promise yourself you will do good today, or maybe an hour at a time, and remember at roughly 4 days - 2 weeks in are usually the hardest (for me anyway), once your…

that brought tears to my eyes, i'm where you started (mentally and physically), although not as much to lose. (still over 100lbs though), if you can do this i can. so proud of you xxx

why did you want to lose weight in the first place? after you'v thought of that, imagine yourself at the weight you'd like to be, and how that makes you feel. before now i'v googled before and after photo's, the thought of fitting into beautiful clothes and being a lot slimmer for my holiday has helped my mind set…

thanks guys, it sounds as though i'm better sticking to body revolution next and move on when i'm a lot lighter, but still, good to know

which one is better to get first, insanity or p90? i'm obese and then some but i'm currently on 30 day shred level 2 and managing ok. and whats the difference between p90 and p90x? was thinking of going straight into jm body revolution after this, but bridesmaid end of june so would like the best results :flowerforyou:

i'd like to know too, if no one replies i'll google it & let you know what i come up with :wink:

When i first started i didn't own any weights, so used 2 cans of tomatoes or two bottles of water, for me i found my arms were throbbing, my legs were fine. i believe your supposed to do 30 days straight, 10 days of each level, but thats not always possible, do what feels right for you/what fits into you life. best of…

cancel that - amazon now does one for £13 :wink:

lolll excellent

asda do a heart rate monitor/cal reader for £20 - cheapest i'v found. Jillian Michaels is about 164cal for 20 mins, i would guess it's close to that? sorry i can't be more help. are you following the food plan too? i am and loving it :heart:

this had renewed my interest, with all the bending over to pick it up i was shattered lol i'm going to keep practising though, that site hooping.org looks really good :flowerforyou: so glad you shared it

if you have a quick look at this thread there are some vegetarian quick, easy and tasty recipes in there, all copied from josie gibsons dvd http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/859234-food-diary-as-suggested-on-the-josie-gibson-dvd i'v made them myself so can recommend them, will also be checking out the others posted…

@sol 135lbs?

i gave up sugar a few days ago and didn't realise until i read your post i wasn't craving it no more (i was eating choc/cakes everyday before), shape delight yogurts and total greek yogurt fat free has no added sugar. haven't found (or looked as yet) for any protein shakes with no added sugar though. interesting what your…

asda do a calorie burn/heart rate monitor for £19.99 :wink:

that really did make me laugh out loud, best NSV!

thats a great encouragement, certainly helps get things into perspective :flowerforyou:

the only thing i would think was "wow, what an inspiration, good for you", they were more than lightly thinking the same thing hun

she looks amazing although she doesn't look old enough to be your mum now, you'v both done so well

quirkytizzy - for some reason i checked out your profile - best profile ever, had me giggling, you crazy

i am very overweigh so i place a pillow under my knees when i have to kneel on the 30ds & my knees have been fine ever since. Was going to start today too but was waiting for a delivery (that was suppose to be here yesterday) and has now been cancelled :angry:

in fairness she does say she lost 4 stone on this, whereas she has clearly lost a lot more than that. It's still a good place to start if like me you'v lost before and put it back on, personally i was eating the same foods everyday and got board, thats why i fancy this and i can incorporate different foods in time. I…
