Thak you all, my HRM is a good one (polar) but all HRM's have difficulty picking up my HR because my resting pulse rate is about 35-43, and it takes a alot to make it higher

I wish :-)

Welcome to the site. You sound very positive and I am sure you can do it. Whilst all these conditions can cause weight gain, if you lose weight they can also be controlled better. I have GERD, and since lossing 50lb have become mostly symptom free, just the occaisional lansoprazole if I have not eaten well. My daughter has…

I agree with both, you really need a set of weights for the CLX, though you can get away with the resistance band (it is tougher in my opinion)

I love them both Turbofire is more cardio, base on kickboxing, very like Billy Blanks Tae bo Chalean extreme is more weight lifting circuits - abit like Jillian Michaels but more positive and upbeat I am currently doing the Chalean extreme/turbofire hybrid programme to get the best of both worlds

I know that age and genetics play a large part, but loosing weight slowly, ensuring that what you eat is nutritious, weight training and applying firming creams can all help

Just amazing, what an inspiration

Thanks some great ideas, though belts aren't that helpful for us girlies as rarely does girl clothes have belt hoops

I love turbofire, and managed to complete the programme, much to my own surprise as I am at heart a couch potato. I am now on the ChaLEAN extreme / turbofire hybrid. and today that meant Fire 45EZ and stretch 10 xxxx:happy:

You need to adda sweetner, because the greek yoghurt is very sharp and the other ingredients take on the flavour of it as they are bland, made the same mistake myself

You could try adding to oats, and making an overnight oatmeal breakfast, you add a scoop of oatnmeal, a scoop of fat free greek yoghurt, and i then add protein powder mixed with water. You add the flavouring you want, such as fresh fruit, or fat reduced cocoa powder and a teaspoon of peanut butter (add sweetner as cocoa is…

I am in week 15 of turbofire, so nearly at end, but have really enjoyed it and you can see how much weight I have lost, however it is also the inches, I am much snaller that I was when I last weighted the same

Sounds good

The legs, bums and tums, should be fine as long as you modify and do low impact during the cardio bit, but lay off the step for a while as it is very taxing on the foot

It sounds as though you have tendonitis or even a sprain of the inter-metatarsal ligements, they cause acute pain, but also heal well, even though you may get the odd stabbing pain every so often in the next few months Exercise - you can continue with low impact aerobics, elliptical exerciser, static bike and swimming,…

I love the Jillian Michaels workouts, zumba for fun, and more currently Turbofire

It is good fun, I bought the DVD's and you have the choice of several classes, love the music

I am so embarrsed about my weight you will note that I just have how many pounds I have lost, not my weight

You are not too fat to be here, we are all on the same journey even if it is just a few pounds or over a hundred like me. You are very welcome and can add me as a friend if you want to :-):flowerforyou:

I have been advised to take milk thistle and krill oil to help move the visceral fat,

I have a similair amount of weight and its going very slowly, I agree with some of the others, set small targets of about 10lb, and reward yourself when you get there, distract yourself with other hobbies, and make slimming buddlies

You can add me I need to lose 112lbs though 29.2lbs have gone now. I will be here for the long haul, I lose very slowly

Yes it is happening to me too, and my resting pulse has dropped considerably

Hi I love Jillian Michaels but also developed pain in one knee (why one I don't know), nearly all they other DVD's are easiers on the knee but then have burpee and planks which are hard on the wrists LOL I alternated the workout with other in her series - and took glucosamine, and it did improve as I got stronger It may be…

I used a HRM to work out the calories burned and then entered as my exercise, create own and entered it as Jillian Michaels 30 day shred xxx

Put the new swimsuit and then pop a long t-shirt over the top

Are you dehydrated, it measures electrical impedience, so if your water levels are low it will misread and raise the body fat reading

I love it too, and though the weight loss has remained steady and nothing amazing, the inch loss has been incredible, and I am certainly getting fitter

No you need to take time off, ( I am a Medic) but never mind fighting off the infection means your metabolism will be faster
