What a change, you look fantastic. Well done, you're awesome :D x

Some responses have had me laughing so hard I can't see the screen for tears. Thank you for brightening my day. On the serious side, the scientists who have posted on the previous pages - these are the responses that are the ones to read, read and read again. As fitness instructors we get this bit drilled in to us. I could…

Krissie - well it's my name Triaxis - that's my band's name Simples ;) x

I'm 5'8" and I started at 250lbs, and working to 150lbs. I have to be honest though if I got to 157-160 and I was lean, my body fat was around 20% then I'd be happy and say enough is enough. I'm currently at 172lbs, so my next target is 170. And i'll carry on working down in 5lb incruments :)

Well done lovely, keep going :) xx

Amazing work, well done lovely :) x

One of my favourite Silver Screen actresses and a stunning woman. :) I've been told I look like Eve Myles from Torchwood, probably because we're the same age, dark haired and Welsh ;)

Awesome work, you look fantastic. :)

Hello, I'm in South Wales. :D Morning all x

And I obviously mean those equations the other way around - this is what typing first thing in the morning before coffee does to me ;) The H-B is the older of the two - Mifflin is the newer, and the one used by MFP. Sorry, must remember to wake up before posting :wink:

Aye the Mifflin is the original, older (somewhere around 1911 if memory serves) and the Harris-Benedict is much later and apparently more accurate. Both are essentially rough guesses either way you look at it as unless you go have a full body scan to work it out which takes in your individaul make up (which costs a lot)…

The answer is both are correct depending on what formula you use. These are the two formulas that are used by most dietians and food diary sites. The Harris-Benedict equation for BMR: (used by Mayo) For men: (13.75 x w) + (5 x h) - (6.76 x a) + 66 For women: (9.56 x w) + (1.85 x h) - (4.68 x a) + 655 The Mufflin equation…

Hi gang, mine's http://nomoremrsfattymcfat.blogspot.com/ Starts with my story and documents the last year so far. Will check out all the other blogs posted. xx

Yep I'm aiming for 4lbs off by Christmas too, that would see me at 12stone, my next SV. :D Don't think of the christmas parties as a defeat waiting to happen or it'll turn into a self fulfilling prophecy. If you've a party coming up, burn more calories by doing an extra 20mins workout to counter it. Plan in advance so…

Hi I work out at home, and resistance bands are AWESOME. Here are some links to some sites with ideas of exercises you can do: http://resistancebandworkouts.com/ http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/resistance-band-exercises.html http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/portable-resistance-band-fitness-routine And as Snookumss…

Oh my :( Oh no, that's so sad!

Very funny :D And so true as i know many of those types of people haha :) Thanks for posting that.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. As an Army brat I had it drummed into me from an early age that giving 2 minutes to stop and think once a year was a tiny ask in comparison to the…

Hello Thanks for adding me :) I can't sing the praises of this place enough. I've used it for around 2 and half/ 3 years. The key for me with losing weight was not to be put off if for a few weeks you hit a plateau, or that it comes off at a snails pace. It means that the likely hood of you keeping the weight off is…

WOWZER, what a difference. I met her once, in Leigh Delamare Services on the M4 and she was just as infetious and wonderful in person as she come across in her programmes. Go Dawny, :D

Hi I'm Krissie, from the UK. I'm a lead singer in a heavy metal band called Triaxis. And by day I'm a Managament Information Officer at a local University. I'm re-training to become a fitness instructor and a weightloss coach. I love the Beachbody workouts and they are finally opening up WOWY to us internationals who…

Haha because she's hot! ;)

Awesome :D well done lovely, you look amazing. x

Haha, great thread. Mine would be Dina Prince (to stop copyright infringment from DC Comics) I'd wear a modified Wonder Woman costume - but because I'm british it would be made from the Union Jack and not the Star Spangled Banner (sorry to my USA pals - they know I love them really) And my finishing move would be a DT but…

You can't spot reduce fat unfortunately. All you can do is cardio to help burn fat, ab exercises and core work to tone and strengthen that area and ensure tht you eat a healthy balanced diet making sure you watch your saturated fat intake, Also watch your sodium levels too.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step..... the same can be said for the jounrey of shedding pounds. The first step is hard and there will be tough times because the path is winding, long and trecherous in places. BUT, you've done the scariest part - admitting to thousands of people you don't know and will…

And also a glass of Cherry juice after a workout.

Poi rocks and then some. Use a HRM - seriously. you are moving your arms forcing your heart to pump blood faster so you are having a cardio workout albeit to a lesser extent that running. Don't forget to stretch after too as it's a great resistance workout for your core, arms, back and chest (especially if using kevlar…

Hello, Welcome to the worlds most supportive food dairy and accountability group :) It's a bit of a shocker when you start keeping a food diary but that can only be a good thing ;) I gave up smoking almost 6 years ago and the health kick started soon after. It does take time for the weight to come off, the only real advice…

It's howzit as in 'How's it going?' :D That's why it sounds lispy as it's got a 'z' in instead of an 's' :)
