what about the rower? granted there is still a bit of leg movement, but it is not weight bearing? what about supersets of upper body weights exercises, to get your heart rate up, with little rest in between? you could sit on a bench or fitball and do like overhead press, side lateral raises, biceps/triceps etc, over and…

have drunk coke for about 20 years, and in the last 2 years switched to coke zero. Up until two days ago was drinking about 5 cans a day. Have now gone cold turkey. yes its the artificial sweetener in it which most likely gives us cancer. Particularly if you are drinking 5 cans a day. also i have read some research which…

oh wow!! i weighed in today during my TOM and am the lightest i have been in about 8 years and pre children!

hahaha are these children your biological children - as in you gave birth to them? if so then, pffffft you can handle a tattoo no problems!

hahahaha was thinking the same thing!!!!! well said.

i have a lame 'trampstamp' i got when i was 18 - don't know how to post a pic. i am going to get some stuff added to it soon to make it better as its just a piece of nothing on my back.

cool!

that is awesome in 4 weeks - wow. just imagine yourself in 3 months - you will be a new woman. amazing work!

I'm close to being where I want to be.... I plan on getting into the best shape of my life, even better than before I had kids. I'm on my way. Might be brave enough to post a pic in a couple of months when I'm on summer holidays.

I would say yes, but only have my own personal experience to go by: I lost about 3cm from my belly without the scales budging at all.

i don't really get what the big deal is, but excuse my ignorance, presumably i lack a lot of education with all of this.... i only take half the recommended dose, its less than what would be in a redbull or other energy drink.... and i get a boost of energy without having to be bloated by drinking a soda etc. i am training…

I tried my Dymatize Dymaburn pills today for the first time. I just took half the recommended dose, as I am only small. All I can say is - WOW - I went from not really being in the mood to work out, to burning the most amount of calories I have burned in ages!! I was so focused. Probably due to the big caffeine rush, but…

there is a reason for this, but i forget what it is. lol. its a real reason though, after consuming alcohol you crave the fatty fry up foods the next day. also when drunk your are more uninhibited so tend to stuff your face without care.

i think it sounds fine - if you are enjoying it then keep doing it, as long as you are not pulling up too sore, or getting run down etc. if i could do it i would, i get frustrated and feel slack when i miss a day at the gym - but ive got to balance the kids and family life. i guess it depends on the intensity of what you…

Hello! Aussies Represent! From Victoria here.

I've just started baking! If you love it why give it up, there are lots of low fat / lower calorie recipes out there that are pretty nice... this morning i baked some apple cinnamon muffins, and some banana/coconut/choc chip muffins for the kids. its okay to still have something nice to eat and at less than 100 calories…

Coke Zero for me.... I used to drink a lot of coke, thank goodness I weaned myself onto Coke Zero for the no sugar part. I absolutely love it and it is my one consistent pleasure. I know its bad for me, but for now I have no intention of giving it up - it gives me too much joy!

holy crap does it make you NEED to work out for longer? I don't have a lot of time in my day to work out and usually hit the gym 5 times a week for about 45 minutes.... will i be climbing the walls with excess energy??!!

i've heard from a few people the same thing, they have taken a thermogenic supp and lost body fat FAST. obviously combined with training and a reasonable diet/nutrition. i have some i have just ordered, from dymatize - think they are called dyma-burn. hope nobody tells me anything bad about them, lol, i'm looking forward…

1200 calories is low for a lot of people, but please keep in mind there are some very small, lightly framed girls here, where 1200 calories may only be giving us a small calorie deficit. I usually consume about 1300-1400 a day, but for the past few days have consumed way less. I have been a bit off colour and haven't had…

there is an easy solution for when you are at home - DO NOT BUY THE JUNK OR ALLOW IT IN YOUR HOUSE - Then you can't snack on it. This is working for me. at work it will be harder - and it will involve discipline.... find some healthier alternatives and pack them in your lunchbox to take to work. this week for the first…

hey Heidi, I have a similar deficit of around 200-300 a day (besides the last 2 days) and am also losing inches and am now 1 -2 sizes smaller, from 6 weeks of lifting and having a very small deficit. what do you make of this theory that you NEED cardio to get lean? couldn't the same results be achieved, just more slowly,…

so in regards to 'needing to do cardio to get lean' and not relying on diet alone to create a deficit - i'm interested to know - how much of a deficit are you talking about per day, to get lean. i do minimal cardio and don't intend on increasing really, but obviously i want to hear about this. i am not sure i understand…

right - so using a heart rate monitor while strength training will show me calories burnt during session, but not the afterburn, so underestimates? that's cool, anything extra burned is a bonus. ps nice pack!

but by using a heart rate monitor, i am going to see how many calories were burnt during the strength training session - right? i don't actually do this anymore anyway, i only did it once just cos i was curious. what is the danger in using a heart rate monitor to see calories from strength training? is the danger that it…

i haven't read all the responses as there are so many, but don't compare yourself to other people.... lifting heavy means lifting the heaviest amount of weight that you can & feeling like you can physically do no more.... so if you are doing 10-12 reps, you really should be finding it difficult by about rep 9, and the last…

oh and just wanted to add, i hate cardio too, and i don't do it.... the way i think is, why slog it out doing something i don't like, when i could just do strength training, and eat a realistic number of calories, and get the exact results i am after? some people keep preaching cardio to me, but for me, its really not…
