Ooooo, that sounds interesting! I am a regular spinner, but sometimes i cant make the classes so this could come in handy for then, i could just do my own spin class through my headphones on the spin bike thats in the gym! Can you let me know what you think of it? Thanks :)

Nikki, do you not get an induction at your gym? If you do, tell the trainer what your goals are and he/she should tailor the work out to suit what you want?

When i was 252 lb i was wearing a UK size 24, i have now lost 100 lbs and now weigh 152lb and am wearing a size 12 or 14, depending on where you buy the clothes from!

I was insired by all your posts so I've just ordered this DVD from Amazon and cant wait for it to get here now! I am already reasonably fit and a regular at the gym, so i might be brave and go straight in at level 2, looking forward to some more inches lost! :))))

Hi Emsi! Well done on your weight loss, we have similar stories by the sound of it, well once i've shifted the last 1.5 stone! Would you mind if i added you as a friend, i think it would help motivate me to see other peoples progress :) Karen
