When done correctly Pilates is a killer, very good for core stability. I have a bad back and use pilates to help strengthen the muscles.

Interesting read but too many pages to get through right now. Bedtime reading!

What happened to 'if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all'? Different things work for different people, advice is great, negativity for most people isn't. Good luck to you and everyone else on their journey, if it works for you go with it!

I see my trainer once a week and love it (I go to the gym 4 times a week). I've always been around sport but he has taught me how to exercise properly and efficiently and introduced me to loads of different exercises and ways to exercise. No two sessions are the same and I get to use a lot of equipment that isn't available…

That was me although I don't think i lasted 3 minutes! I signed up to take part in the London Marathon and my first 'run' was awful and demoralising but i tried again... and again ...........and again! Walk a bit run a bit, mark a spot and aim to run to it or run for a certain amount of steps or a certain amount of time. I…

I'm always over on my sugar (mainly from fruit) but I have reduced the level by which I'm over and it has made a difference to my weight loss. I still eat fruit but I will have blueberries instead of sultanas, a nectarine instead of an orange etc

I'm a brazil nut and pumpkin seed girl - if you had told me a year ago I'd ENJOY pumpkin seeds I'd have laughed in your face. Also sunflower seeds in cous cous is a nice post gym food for me (a few sultanas don't go amiss either but only a few).

I am exactly the same - I'm not alone hoorah! I spoke to my trainer last night as i just don't know what to do for best and he reminded me about eating nuts and seeds which will bump up your calories, they will bump your fats up too but as long as you are eating natural nuts (not dry roasted etc) then they are good fats…

It would depend on what you were doing (pilates no, kick boxing yes) but generally yes.

So many opinions, so many choices I guess like everything it is about what is right for you! And being patient so you can work out what that is (something I'm not good at). I actually spoke to a trainer about IF (16/8) a couple of months ago and he swears by it, then i spoke to my trainer and he's not so keen. The other…
