  • First thing in the morning, so naked - but I don't think it matters as long as you're consistent, e.g. if you wear shoes on the scale, always wear shoes! etc.
  • +1 - they definitely work!
  • Born in Hammersmith, now in Peckham!
  • 26 years old, 175lb I think (80kg or thereabouts) Now 36 and have been "stuck" between 73 and 76kg (160-167lb) for ages! Aiming to get back to 70kg (150lb), that's a good weight for my height.
  • Yup. That. First thing in the morning before I shower. I had to weigh myself every day after my kidney transplant cos they wanted to check for water retention and so on... kinda became a habit. I don't freak out if it goes up, though. I keep the results in a spreadsheet too, so I can draw a graph through the average trend…
  • I try to work out in the AM purely because it's easier for me to commit to then, but I wonder if I could work *harder* if I waited til after I'd eaten a meal. I'm always exhausted at the end of my 30 Day Shred workout or whatever I'm doing. Then again, I suppose I am later in the day as well, but I wonder if I might work…
  • Me too, will add and accept friend requests! :)
  • Caramelised onion hummous with cucumber on rye crackers (ryvita) is one of my default snacks. Mmmmmm.

  • Thank you!
  • I bet there's other brides on MFP! What are your plans and why?
  • Did Level 2 for the second time today. OUCH. So much emphasis on the plank related poses, which I hate but I need! I have already noticed I can do more than the first time I tried it though, so that's good. I'm away tomorrow so will pick up again on Sunday. I watched Level 3 the other day just to see what it was like.…
  • One thing I would say about the Shred - the stretching at the end isn't anywhere near long enough! All the training I've ever done asks that you stretch for at least 30 seconds in each static stretch at the end of a training session, whereas Jillian does about 5. I tend to ignore the cooldown and do my own combined with…
  • That's about what I get with mine too. I don't do it every day, but I try to do it every other day! It's a great way to get up in the morning if I wake up early enough!
  • I'm surprised no-one's suggested making sure you've got a really good sports bra to minimise bounce as well, or has that just been taken as read? :)
  • Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. Works for me. :) I have to disagree with whoever said it's fine to eat all your calories together though... surely you get that post-meal digestive slump, or more to the point notice a downturn in mental agility when you're very hungry? Even if you're a…
  • Agreed. If it sounds too good to be true it is! Any loss is likely to be mostly water and will regain very quickly!
