blogilates is worth a look for many many free exercise videos pilates rather than yoga but high level of exercise and you can add segments together to build your own programmes http://www.blogilates.com/

Hi, just checking in. Hope every one is having a merry break and fun with family and friends. Not been getting any decent exercise apart from dog walking but eating still on track. Looking forward to the new year

they pay the money, they have the same rights to use the stuff as everyone else paying the money. Regular users should not become judge and jury on what people can and can't do with regards to gym access, especially as we all started somewhere, regardless of the trigger. Many many people start in the spring to get ready…

Mine is!!! He is pretty slight though has muscles, a physical job and plays league squash 4-6 times a week and walks the dogs too!!! for years I was always 1/2 stone less than him and we both slowly went up as we got older but then he stopped and I carried on. It will be a great day for me when I weigh less than him again,…

my kids are grown now but at primary school 5-11 I would usually pack ham/chicken/beef sandwich (with salad) either in bread or a roll or a wrap, banana or other fruit, jelly with fruit in it (home made) or a yogurt and a chocolate biscuit bar of some kind. usually they ate it all but did go through phases when they didn't…

rats some one beat me to it A wearing odd trainers by mistake same question fav animal

lose yourself in the music Eminem Q favourite animal?

SW: (11 stone 2 CW: 10 stone 9 GW 10 stone 4 Weigh in Dates: 12/1 12/8 12/15 12/22 12/28 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Total weight lost: Just for fun: What is your favorite December holiday tradition that does NOT involve food? visiting the local garden centre that does a great Christmas display every…

when you have been brought up with weighing body weight in stones and pounds it makes sense and you automatically have a sense of what someone means when they say they have lost a stone, weigh 16 stone, etc but can see it does not make sense to anyone not used to these measurements lol.

in the words of a song (replace alcohol with guns) alcohol doesn't make you fat you do!!!! It is all about moderation

well done and you look so much happier too

I have not been counting calories for a couple of weeks now due to one thing and another (mild illness. very sick dog and more) but it does not seem to be affecting my weight at the moment. no doubt it will catch up at some point though.

on top of baked sweet potato/ as a wet flavour to any salad, with any tart tasting fruit grapes/pineapple etc on top of oat cakes with a bit of pepper

nothing interesting to post but thought I would just check in and say hello so hello

had mine taken out at 17 with no real issues. went to a theme park about 10 days after and was fine. Might be a British thing but at hospital I was made to have scratchy foods such as cornflakes and toast after the first two days. The thinking being that it scraped off the scabs and helped things heal quicker. This was…

the one I most enjoyed........... Dirty Dancing yes I know not the best of plots but I was a teenager in the 80s lol and this just fitted into what we were all looking for when still very innocent in life!!! Star wars the first one (but actually 1V) also very good

Just tried Handmaids Tale, sorry not sure why others like it so much. I found I was skipping long montages as they were quite boring. (PS aware that we all have different tastes though I am a fan normally of sci fi and fantasy)

none of them need it but if wanting some taste then chicken does well with just a few drops of lemon, beef is slow cooked needs nothing and other meats can be cooked in a healthy gravy to add taste.

If you are tied into the gym then I would put a complaint in writing about there not being enough equipment to go around and/or the practice of stockpiling without blaming any individuals. If not tied to the gym then I would look elsewhere for somewhere where you feel more comfortable. Just a note to add, stating that…

when I first taught an adult ed class I thought great, I really have found what I was meant to do and compared to the dead end jobs I had done before (to fit in with child care needs and study) it even paid quite well. Fast forward 15 years of doing this and even rising to dept/curriculum manager posts the pay now does not…

it might be too much to lose that weight in so short a time (especially as you are not big in the first place) but you could do a lot to make your body look better and look like you have lost 9kg even if you haven't. Look at taking up exercise like C25K (a nine week programme) supplemented by strength exercises and/or…

exercise!!!!! go on walking missions- use a map, get lost by only taking left turns or something equally mad, run in the parks etc all free. Use the many different ethnic food markets to explore new ingredients and take home to cook new meals, public libraries for new books to read, take up photography and look at…

bump so I can check these out

I only started this a few weeks ago and I found that I really like it but after the first session I could barely walk for a week!!!! I had never ever had muscles that sore before. I am ashamed to say I am a total weakling!!! I am on very low weights and still struggle to make it to the end of each routine, yet I have seen…

Lots of people report their stomachs looking bigger as they lose weight. think it is because other parts are shrinking first e.g. the waist , , so your stomach stands out more. It is not getting bigger just looks it as other parts get smaller lol

I suspect you might be making a mistake that many many people make with c25k, including me and that is running far to fast in the first few weeks on the running bits. I apologise if this is not the case but otherwise try slowing down. I thought I was running slow until I really listened to what you are supposed to do. for…

Had a reminder last week of why I used reins 20 plus years ago with my sons. I agreed to watch my brother's kids one day in a school holiday while their mum was at work and decided to take the 3 kids to the local cinemas. While there we had to walk a bit and the 8 year old girl was fine, the 5 year old boy ok but needed…

to be honest, after a few months, if I was eating familiar foods then I can do it roughly by eye and I am not worried about not being exact with veg. I would also make sure to just have one or two potatoes and not bother with mash if it is there. Any meat again I can tell roughly by size on plate but it would be the sauces…

bad parenting is not defined by the use of a leash or not!!! Most parents that use them use for safety reasons and still interact with children fully, those that don't use them also interact with their kids fully it is just an extra safety tool Yes bad parents may use them too but there is no way they would be better…
