I am also pregnant with my first child and want to try and gain the least amount of weight possible - but by being healthy obviously but I am finding that quite hard at the moment tho as I feel sick quite alot and when I feel sick I need to eat, so I'm hoping that goes away soon - I am 10 weeks so I've heard that after the…

Also doesn't she think if she is consuming 1200 calories anyway she would be more satisfied with actual food rather than shakes, i would still be starving just having a shake for lunch but you can make a delicious and healthy low cal soup that would be way more filling - i don't see the point in faddy diets, I don't think…

Hi everyone, so glad I found this thread, here's some info about me, looking forward to hearing everyones tips on staying healthy during pregnancy. Just wanted to know anyones thoughts on using mfp while pregnant - like how many calories should I be eating, I don't want to gain to much weight but I obviously want to be as…

I never buy chocolate or crisps for the house just healthy foods, that way if I want something I know I'd have to go all the way to the shops to buy it which means you just end up having the healthy option instead. Also I have highlights hot chocolate in the house so if I ever feel like something sweet I just have that, it…

I just ordered my 30 day shred DVD today, looking forwrad to trying it out. I have Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack already and it's really good I just wanted to tone up, but now I'm ready to lose these extraChristmas pounds, all the reveiws sound good aswell so good luck!

I'm 5ft 1 and a quarter (the quarter seems to matter when your this short haha!) I am 120 at the moment I always say I'd love to be 100 but I think Im always happiest at 112 so I'm going for that, think it depends on your body type. I try and eat about 1200 calories a day but I'm not really strict about it (which is…

According to a web site I found 0.09 calories per minute per Lb of body weight. i think that is high as the trainer was using 53lb kettlebells however I think you can probably double 200 if the class is quick paced. [/quote] Thanks for this - i just started doing kettlebell and this little equation should help me with…

Welcome, feel free to add me, I'm kinda new to this aswell, looking to lose about 20lbs :)

Thanks guys :) think I might be starting with to light a weight but we'll see, looking forward to starting it tho, I like that it's really meant to tone you up too.

I'm not sure what the ideal weight would be but I have bought a 3kg and 4kg weight aswell, think those would be pretty good starting weights and ordered 2 kettleworx DVD's on ebay. I ended up getting sucked in by watching a class on the fitness channel and just usung dumbells but i quite liked it and think if you really…

Thanks guys :) I do drink alot of water I just always forget to add my glasses, I think I drink at least 1.5 litres a day. I def ate too much bread yesterday, when I'm off work I tend to eat bad. This week I'm going to exercise everyday and not eat my exercise cals back, eat more fruit and veg and have no bread (altho that…

At Pizza Expres they do a 500 calorie pizza and it's just a thin base and has hole in the middle with salad in it, they're yummy and you can eat a whole one - yum! haha!

I'm 5'1 (and a quarter! the quarter matters haha!) currenly 122 and would love to get down to 100, the lbs just dont seem to be coming off tho! hopefully if I gym like crazy they will start too.

Hey Lisa, Welcome! I just started this week too, kind of feeling the same as you want to be proper healthy and not just do faddy diets! Good Luck :)

kalexander2005 - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I hope your doing ok now and good luck with everything. x

Thank you for all your nice words. It was 3 weeks ago now, so I'm starting to feel a little bit more positive about things and this is a wee step in the right direction :) Hope you are all doing well with your weight loss, it feels good to have some support :)

Ive kind of fallen off the exercise wagon and just trying to get back into it now, I like going to fitness classes cos I feel like you cant slack off or it gets noticed, plus when your exercising try to think the harder you work the more cals you burn i think it motivates me to work harder alse don't weigh yourself for two…
