I pretty much have a winter breakfast and a summer breakfast - at the moment it is winter here so I have: porridge made with: 40g oats 7g ground linseed cinnamon Then I put frozen blueberries and skim milk on top - Yummo!! In summer I have pretty much exactly the same but eat it raw, sometimes I switch the blueberries for…

I only lost 2.7kg (5.8lbs)!

I did it in 33 days but did the first 14 without a break.

I'm thinking of going the other way! I have P90X and enjoy it, I find it doesn't burn many calories and the DVD's are REALLY long (especially the yoga one), I've got two preschoolers and am starting back working full time in two weeks so I am going to be time poor. I think if I could dedicate myself to it P90X would do…

Paprika chicken (sooooo tasty!!) 2 chicken breasts cut in half (boneless and skinless) 4 medium potatoes chopped into maybe 6 or 8 pieces each 1 tin of crushed tomatoes mixed with 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika 100g feta cheese put the chicken and potatoes into a casserole dish (try to have them on one layer so quite a big…

I haven't but I'll definitely give it a go!! I think my husband has some in the fridge at the moment, which would be handy!!

The shred was all I did - nothing else at that stage anyway! I had a 6 month old baby at the time so found it difficult to do much. during the last couple of weeks I did a few bootcamp sessions but I think the major changes happened in those first few weeks.

Found it! Day one on the left and day 14 on the right.

I saw great results after 14 days of doing it every day (I just did the standard 10X of each level so I'd done 10x level one and 4x level 2) I hadn't lost much weight but looked different! I've got a photo somewhere - I'll see if I can find it!

That is an excellent idea! Thanks for the tip :flowerforyou: I think I'll leave in all the oatmeal (or rolled oats as we call them in this part of the world :bigsmile: ) but substitute ground linseeds for some of the flour - now to peruse google for suitable recipes!!

My bum doesn't touch both sides of our armchair at the same time anymore!! :laugh:

They say you can lose 2 litres of liquid a night - I don't like to think about where it goes!!

Well, I disagree, but that is the way of the world!! :flowerforyou:

I had great results doing it 30 times in 33 days, I was also doing bootcamp twice a week and running once a week as well. I didn't lose anything like 20lbs in 30 days though! I lost 2.6kg (or 5.7lbs) but lost over 10cm in my waist measurement alone - so I wasn't too disappointed!!

A bit off topic, but have you ever checked out the Flylady? (look up www.flylady.net) she is awesome, and free and helps you to get the housework done a bit at a time. She also has ways of turning housework into games to play with the kids - I'm not sure if it would help but it has helped me (2 kids under 5, working full…

I lost my first 10kg (22 pounds or so) without exercising at all!! People may say that you will become 'skinny fat' but in my opinion that is better than fat fat :happy: Also it sounds as though you are burning calories by living a very busy life. Once you lose a bit of weight you may find that you feel like doing some…

Well I didn't make it, but I got pretty close!! I'm still pleased as it was a lot more than I usually burn, even though I ended up 700g heaver at the end of it all!!

There is also a breastfeeding group which has a lot of interesting threads in it.

I used to get really sore feet - I don't really anymore since doing lots of plyometric type exercises (jumping up and down, so jumping jacks - or star jumps as we call them here, jump squats, jumping rope, running, etc, etc) I guess it strengthens up the muscles so they can withstand more punishment?!?

Ground linseeds (I think they call them flaxseeds in America - not sure where you are or what they'd be called there!) I put them in my porridge in smoothies and you can put them in baking (like oaty raisin cookies) as well.

I've been aiming for 36 points(I'm breastfeeding so get a few extra) and find that if I don't eat enough fruit I struggle to hit my calorie goals - even then I seem to be coming in about 200 calories under despite usually eating 4 serves of fruit instead of two.

- while pretending not to notice the big argument going on :frown: - Ask him!!! I'd never asked a guy out before but my sister talked me into it, fast-forward and we've been together for 11 years, married for the last 4 and a bit and have 2 beautiful daughters together :happy: it worked for me!!

I did early on in my weight loss - my husband would bring me home chocolate bars which call to me and drive me crazy until I eat them!! I had a talk to him and basically asked him why he was doing that when I was really REALLY trying to lose weight and regain my health and it turned out that he was worried that I would get…

Kiwi!! :bigsmile:

When I did it I didn't lose much weight at all, but lost a lot of inches instead (I think I lost a touch under 6 lbs over the whole programme). I just did each level 10X then moved on to the next, I found that I was going crazy as it is quite boring doing the same thing every day! Here's a copy of my before and after…
