I have a dillema I am starting out making cakes been doing it for about 6 months and I am quite good at it a talent I never knew I had but it can be fattening all those lovely aromas when the cake is baking and then well I need to trim most of the cakes that means left overs and I have to taste icing it is the only way I…

Thank you everyone for their advice I suppose my diet has changed dramatically for the better I will just see it out for a bit longer and hopefully it will sort itself out. Thanks

I have no faith in docs in these matters my doc is old overweight and smells and he stuck me on weight loss pills and gave me a printout of a diet sheet allowing me at 5ft 9 1000 cals a day yeh I lost weight but when I had taken the pills for the allotted amount of time do you knowhow long it was for me to put the weight…

Definately not lack of water I am very concious of my water intake and I drink plenty I check by looking into the toilet after I pee and the water is water coloured not even pale yellow. I have substituted my coffee with green tea as it is better for you than coffee and I stick to the same routine on my rest days and I…

Hi I log as circuit training. I have just finished day 6 and it is rest day tomorrow and yeh I did 3 proper push ups and nothing else is modified I dont feel like I am going to die anymore but I can feel I am working out. Gonna spend next week trying to build up to full time of un modified push ups then move onto level 2.…

Just eat healthy avoid the foods you are supposed to avoid during pregnancy trust me when and if you suffer morning sickness it is not the best thing to sit and plan your meals as that could make it worse all I could eat with my daughter for 15 weeks was tomato soup granola bars and croqette potatoes anything else would…

Hi katiechakos I know how you feel we did a sleep program with my middle daughter she was a nightmare and her crib was in our room which made it worse we followed the program where day put them into bed and walk away then you set a timer for 5 mins and if they are still crying go in just settle them dont pick up and walk…

drevans_mom - That makes a whole lot of sense I think its a plan. I am doing great at the moment I am trying o eat in the right balance and havent had anything with empty calories in all week and the strangest thing is I dont want them either I am quite happ having an orange or an apple to satisfy my sweet tooth I think I…

I am fed up I was having a reasonable workout on my elliptical and I allways do better in the last 10 mins hr steady at 85% for the last 20 mins today and then the belt broke with my final intensive 3 mins I was upset how bad is that upset that I had to get off my machine and worried that I would be without it. I did…

Nobody is saying that you dont work hard what we are trying to say is when you exercise you raise your heart rate into the fat burning zone as a minimum but to really make it count you raise your heart rate to 85% of your maximum heart rate google it if you want to work out yours mine is 167 now that is a lot of effort on…

Day 4 for me and woo hoo it was actually easier legs still are little bit sore but I am starting to feel ready to try un modified push ups once I can do that for 3 days I will move up to level 2 hopefully by the end of next week I am not very supple though it will get better though I am not really modifying the other moves.

It comes down what your settings are whether you have classed yourself as sedentry active or very active like a postman that then gives you your daily calorie requirement without specific exercise. Lets face it you arent exactly running round sweating buckets all day with your heart rate up to like 80% of your maximum…

firstly you need a calorie surplus not deficit I beleive 10% is about what you should begin with push ups squats sit ups shoulder press chest fly there are loads of things you can do at home lift bottles of water or that isnt enough bottles of sand or stones. There is loads of info on the net of strength and resistance…

if you look at what jillian michaels advises in her books she recommends for ultimate fat loss to work out at 85% of your maximum heart rate for at least 30 mins and believe me that works you hard. interval training is great becuase you get your hr up then slow down but your hr stays up so as long as you raise your speed…

Day three which happens to be a rest day legs are recovering ready to go into day 4 tomorrow with shred level 1 and 45 min walk and 30 min ellitptical hr 85%. I do love this dvd though and the workouts are hard but still ok. Wii fit just told me how fat I was though boo hoo. Gonna have a kiwi and a glass of water and keep…

Fat balls are balls of solid fat with grains and berries seeds all sorts mushed into them I think my Charley (my 3yo daughter wore half of the mix) you leave them out for the birds and they love em. Gonna have a go at making an omelet for lunch I think better wait til hubby home or he will moan that he didnt get one. He…

Wow just finished todays workouts which was 30ds level one (modified push ups and using 5kg weights for most not all moves) walked the dog elliptical for 30 mins probably only spent about 15 of that at the right heart will be working on that. Feeling a little sore but totally energised gonna make a nice chicken salad…

thats exactly what I thought and there is plenty to get through I cant wait to go for a walk now. the woman is pure inspiration.

I have just downloaded jillian michaels from KFI radio onto my ipod just go to itunes then podcast then on the right hand side put KFI then sunday and you should be able to find it. She is inspirational really makes me feel positive she talks about various topics I have hours to get through. Just thought I would share.

No kids tonight they are sleeping at their grandparents house so I got a night of peace and quiet its strange I really dont like it all them empty beds makes me quite teary not being able to kiss my babies goodnight. Dog show tomorrow I am terrified got all my gear ready and the puppys been bathed and looks dashing just…

Want to drop most of the weight by the time I go on vacation 19 weeks to go. I will also be walking my…

how often should this workout be done every day or every other day I know that in jillians making the cut you workout on day 1 and 2 rest on 3 work 4 and 5 rest 5 and 6. Would love to get a good answer of someone who knows going to start this on mon.

Today has been hectic little one was at fracture clinic this morning and now they have decided that her bone isnt broken after all but as she is suffering and in pain still they suspect it is very badly bruised or maybe she has strained something so they are leaving her cast on for 2 more weeks then they will take it of…

Hi everyone I am new here I have 3 children 1boy age 7 and 2 little princesses aged 3 and 2. I love being a stay at home mum its the best job in the world well worth the sacrifices that I have made now it is my turn to lose the weight and feel great 28 lbs to lose.

I live in the Uk and I have just ordered this from amazon cant waiit for it to arrive it should be here withing the next couple of weeks I need to refocus I think this could do the trick.

it doesnt make much diff pushing a stroller but carrying a child in a back pack does as you have to do al the work then were as strollers were invented for a reason they make things easier therefore not as much effort is required. Although going up hills is different I just add calories for walking it is marginal to add…

Was going Ok this week bit tired as normal after my monthly visit but yesterday my 2 year broke her shin bone and now I am on duty 24 7 looking after her end result today I have hardly eaten a thing havent exercised and am exhausted she is going to have the cast on for 6 weeks and I am worried dont know where I will find…

Thank you feeling a touch better. I just cant get over losing her I have spoken to people and they say it can take months she was my first dog I picked her up 3 days after I moved out of my parents house and what hurts was she was only 8 she had heart problems and her organs failed I will never ever forget my last moments…
