I have used them, i can't say how much I lost as I would only do it once a week and do other workouts in between but i really enjoyed them and found it a good way to work out even with my rotten arthritic joints :P

Wales :D Hello!!

Where in the UK are you cos we have Yo! Sushi restaurants all over and I am sure that if you look you can find a little independant Sushi bar :) As I don't have sushi very often I tend to just order what I like , my favourite is Takoyaki (octopus dumplings) but Tuna sashimi is really yummy too!! I would only have a few…

I had always been small as a child until I had some operations on my knees at 11 years old, after that I was less mobile and so piled on the weight. I was 196lb at 17 but I was blissfully unaware. I developed osteoarthritis in my joints soon after a second op at 14 and my mobility was fiuther reduced. It seems that my…

Pretty good, just came in from the garden where my little ones and I were planting the seeds for this year's veggie growing :) We shall be feasting on pumpkins, courgettes, tomatoes, peas, sweetcorn and strawberries by late summer :) All grown in pots on our yard. The best parts were seeing my 4 year old daughter getting…

Another Welsh lass here, from Newport too :D I love having new mates, please feel free to add me :D

8lb since January is good :) The slower it comes off the less likely you are to put it back on :) Keep going!!

That is brilliant :) Well done :)

Why don't you try making a similar but healthy dish you can serve to everyone? That dish doesn't sound healthy for anybody, even if they don't need to lose weight so I would suggest not buying the fries and cheese slices when you go to the shop and instead introduce everyone to something new and a bit more nutricious? I…

Noel Fielding is one of the most beautiful men alive :P (Sorry, this has nothing to do with the topic............)

I go to Curves, I have been going since last October/Novermber and I love it! It's a good work out that doesn't take too long, there are only women there so no uncomfortableness and I can take my baby boy with me. I have mobility issues and have found that the circuit really suits me, you can push as hard or go as gently…

I have one sitting in my fridge calling to me................. Is it nice but naughty or naughty but nice????

I had my first at 31 and my second at 34, I had 10 great years with my husband before we had children and now I feel like I can dedicate my time to them rather than worrying about missing out on experiences. However, I have a good friend who had her first child in her very early 20's and she is a brilliant Mum, I take a…

Well done hun! Rainbow Bright is awesome :)

Well done :D

Have you tried making big batches of pasta sauce and freezing it in portions? You can get tins of tomatoes for 33p in some shops, tomato purée and passata. ASDA and TESCO do value packs of onions too. You can add lots of different things to the sauce, ASDa do big value packs of peppers, you can part cook them and freeze…

I love anime (currently trying to watch Black Butler), video games (currently playing Xenosage Chronicles, Skyrim and Skyward Sword), reading and my favourite pastime is patchwork quilting :) I also love baking but I've cut down on that - a LOT since starting my diet :( I am also a Mum to two gorgeous children who keep me…

I get like this sometimes, I can only assume it is because you have to be very aware of everything you are eating when you start something like this and I think you can get overwhelmed by it sometimes. You will gradually settle into your new way of life and learn to trust foods , just keep going and try to keep your…

Can I just say that you rock :)

Well done, you should be very proud of your hard work :) I still can't quite believe that the smaller clothes in my wardrobe actually fit me and in a few months will be too big!! Heh :)

I used to comfort eat on days when my osteoarthritis was really bad. until one day my husband said to me 'Dear, that food may taste nice but it's never going to make anything better, it just brings problems of it's own...' After that I slowly began to realise that he was right. So I now either try and do something else (I…

Please feel free to add me :) The more the merrier :D 35 year old from South Wales :D

Ok, according to the Littlewoods catalogue Levi's now do jeans in differing shapes. They have slight curve, demi curve and bold curve. Here is a link: http://www.littlewoods.com/women/levi/jeans/e/b/1682,5680/s/bestsellers,0.end?trail=1589-1682-5680 Not sure if this will help but the nice thing about catalogues is you can…

From what I remember the post pregnancy exercises I was given after having my kids were designed to help your pelvic floor and protect your lower back. These areas become very loose during and just after pregnancy and so I guess the aim is to get them back into shape. It might be worth a shot, strengthening your core is…

I think your tenacity, bravery and indomitable spirit is very inspirational :) I recently shocked my best friend and husband by telling them that I really want to get below my healthy weight range. It's not vanity or anything like that which has prompted this desire. I just want doctors to take my condition seriously and I…

I did both workouts on my 'Walk Away The Pounds' dvd :) I think that it was around 450 calories of painful exercise. I ate quite a bit yesterday but not as much as last year cos my stomach has shrunk :P Today I am hoping to be a bit more sensible but there are still lots of lovely treats around :P Its back to the gym for…

Yay! You look amazing, well done xxxx I love how you are so motivated to complete Wii Fit :P I get why you want to do it even if your doc says no :P It's just nice to acheive something sometimes isn't it :) You are certainly the Captain of your own ship xxxx

May I ask if you are overeating in order to comfort yourself? Is it a tool you use to reward yourself? When I started this process I used food for all these things. I have really bad arthritis in my legs and so I am in pain a lot of the time, I used to use that as an excuse to eat anything and everything I wanted. My…

I have found that exercise really helps me with the TOM symptooms (when its not being strange) btw :)
