Slow weight loss is best. I'd always heard it before but now I actually am patient enough to go by it. Less calorie restriction equals sustainability.

Thanks for the reply :) I'd be interested to see how you get on!

I completed W6D3 today, I was so worried as I had to repeat W6D2 as I just couldn't do it the first time round... but I did it! Very proud! Running is so much to do with your mentality as well... there was no reason why I couldn't complete W6D2 first time round, since I had done the much longer 3.2km run of W5D3 just days…

I was shocked by the difference between treadmill and road. A couple of years ago I started using the treadmill in the gym a few times a week, and within a month or so I could run for at least an hour and a half on 1.5% incline between 7 and 10mph. When I decided to get back into running last month (after a two year break)…

I've been loving NMTZ but it's starting to not be so much of a challenge anymore after a month or so of doing it twice a week. Which of her other dvds do you guys think is the most similar to it? I like NMTZ mainly because it is a total body workout, and not cardio based. I'm thinking maybe Ripped in 30 or Extreme Shed &…

Thanks for having a look for me :) Maybe I'll just have to adjust to time intervals instead... I will go check out runners world though!

Add me, I've got 18lbs to lose until goal weight!

Hopefully next week I can finally break into the 130s! Good luck…

A couple of squares of dark chocolate usually, and/or some wine, or some brie on an oatcake... yum!

Thanks, I've been struggling to up my daily protein and this will be really helpful to look at every time I go for a snack!

I started on December 24th (2012) at 155lbs, looking to lose 33lbs. So far it's taken me 11 weeks of logging and exercise to lose 14lbs. So yeah, I do think your goal is unrealistic... it's frustrating, I know, but trying to lose weight sensibly (and keep it off) from a lower start weight takes a lot of time. Currently I…

Feel like I really did everything right this week, so -0.2lbs is a little depressing. Hopefully it's just one of those things and the scale will be more positive…

I do! I alternate it with running. I like it because I find some of her other dvds have too much jumping around for my liking.

Hi guys, I've been doing Jillian Michaels workouts but I recently discovered blogilates, and I love it! What have your results been just from following her calendars? I'm thinking about switching to them (plus running 3x a week) but I'm scared it won't tone as quickly as JM's workouts, as I've got used to doing all the…

The plan is to keep on doing what I have been this week... just got…

Bit late with the check in this week, but I'm very happy as it's the most I've lost in a long time! Strange since I've given in to a little too much junk food this week and…

It's taught me that I can actually stick with something!

Thanks for all the advice :) I plan to get down to sports direct tomorrow and get a moisture wicking base layer, a jacket and some gloves. And then just to wait for the snow to melt...
