Can you expand on High Impact exercise? Cadio/running? I am going to try and start swimming more as in my mind the water will help suspend me, no impact but it is working the muscles?

A couple I know did liptrim. Having stuck to it the lost a heck of a lot of weight. Somewhere around 140 lbs between them and they looked pretty good. Although the muscle growth was not there. The skin toning was not there resulting in surgery being needed. And now 2 years on they have been eating "Normally" (Read eating…

How many RPM's do you think it would take on an exercise bike to power an XBOX and a TV? Get fit while you game ;o)

Thanks for the reminder. That is just the sort of thing I would do. Already had a soup explode on me. Lol.

Baked potatos is one that has crossed my mind. Need to work on the toppings. Never thought to get smaller potatoes. My mind always thinks a nice big Jacket spud. but that takes ages lol. Topping - Cottage Cheese, Beans, ummmmmm. Chilli? Lol. See my creativity is non-existent. P.s. This forum needs a like/thanks button lol.

creative is where I fall down. That and by the time I get home, put my twins to bed, cook dinner, have 30 minutes to myself, put the dishes away and its already 10:30pm Need to work with my time better but when I only have 4 hours in the evening and 2 of those are taken up by cooking, bed time stories, bath time etc. Hence…

Thanks. Its those sorts of things I am trying to avoid. When I go for the soups I try go for the be good to yourself soups with low sodium, calories etc. The rice is wholegrain rice but cheap nasty ham. Unfortunatly packed lunch I always seem to run out of time for or forget it in the fridge. Hence deliberatly walking to…

Know the feeling. I have had back pain for the last week. Had trouble with lower back since a car accident 4 years ago. Usually muscle spasms. Has the doc given you any kind of anti-inflammatory? Usually works within a week for me but we are all different. Unfortunatly my back is still stuffed so heading to the doc's today…

Interesting. Thanks for the reply's. I agree they are not 100% accurate. I have seen them as low as 29%. Just wanted a rough Idea to try and see that I am going in the right direction. My diet has been shocking at times as time is something of a premium to me with twin girls. But I am dealing with that. The weight loss…

Like I say I am only going on what I have heard. May have mis-understood and they were talking about the calories from Carbs. Something along those lines. Basically I was told you need to get the body into a Fat Burning mode to benefit the most from your Cardio. Whatever the effect this seems to be working for me. But the…

Its whatever you are happiest with. I did read somewhere that anything over an hour does not benefit you as much as you first hour. Not sure where I read it. If I can find it again I will post the link. The benefit of the weights is that the muscle needs to repair itself after you have lift them. To do this is continues to…

Depends who you talk to as with most of these things. The plan I am following is to do the warm up which help to burn the water. I have been told 1st 40 minutes of cardio/exercise is water loss. So I tend to do the 10 minutes warm-up then the weights to get to the 40 minute mark. Then while the muscles are fixing…
