I got this a couple of months ago before my wedding. I did actually faint one day too (bit scary!). I went to the doc and she tested me for quite a few things, but thankfully I'm fine. She thinks it was stress, which I would probably have to agree with. Only had it a couple of times recently so fingers crossed that's all…

Don't let it get to you. I went through a phase where everyone (people at work rather than family) were always commenting on what I was eating, and not in a good way. It was really winding me up especially as some of their diets are absolutely appauling! I got to the stage where I started thinking they might be jealous…

Hey girlies!! How are we all?? Just wanted to put a wee note on to say that I've put some of my first fitting pics on YAYW! So exciting just over three weeks to go! When's everyone else's dates??

Hi all!! How's it going? I've not been doing this for a bit coz I've not been feeling well, but he's what I've managed today... pressups: 89 - max 22 situps: 259 - max 100!!

Hey! I'm a bride to be also! Getting married in 5 weeks (eeeek!) and had my first fitting this week - so excting!! Feel free to add me! :smile:

Well done Ruby! My next lot have been delayed a bit as I was away for my hen weekend. I'll hopefully get them done tonight, but I am a bit sleep deprived, so they may need to wait until tomorrow!!

Good work Ruby!! How'd it go Mikeast?

Hi All! Did my next sets and got: Situps: 175 - 55 max Pressups: 67 - 22 max Squats: 132 - 40 max :smile: How's everyone else doing??

Hey! I did mine yesterday, but can't remember all the numbers! I did manage 20 press-ups though so I was quite happy with that!!! :smile: Well done - you're all doing great!!!

Hey Guys! Everyone's doing great. Mine got delayed from yesterday until today due to travelling yesterday taking it out of me! I decided to start the squats too, so here's the results: Sit ups: max - 25; total - 106 Press ups: max - 12; total - 48 Squats: max - 36; total - 108 All improving slowly! And still aiming for at…

I've got to do mine tonight. I was just thinking it would be handy if I could do them at lunchtime, but I'm scared someone would walk into my office when I'm in the middle of it all!!! :laugh: Mikeast - I'm still trying the full pushups. They really are hard work but I'm going to stick at it for now and not do the 'lady…

Justbreathe - that's fab results!! Well done you!

Let us know how you get on Renaejae!

Well done Ruby! I'll be back tomorrow!! :smile:

Well done Ruby - that's fab! Wow Mikeast - gold star for effort definately!! I think C25k is a program that basically gets you from no exercise (couch) to running a 5k in a certain number of weeks.

Yay! More people!! :smile: I've not done c25k but it sounds like a good idea to mix some cardio with the strength. I have ran a few 10ks (in very slow times!) but it's just something I've done by myself. I think if I knew of any of the programs when I started jogging they would have been really useful. Hope it goes well…

Go for it Mikeast - let us know how you get on!

He he! Thanks!! Rest day today - think my shoulders will be happy not having to do any push ups!!!

Is that good?!

Hmmmm... JustBreathe you might have just convinced me! I just tried the initial test for squats and managed 35! I'll give it a few days and think about doing it! :smile:

Push ups are def the hardest for me too. I'm trying to do the proper push ups (not the 'girl' ones!) and I am ready to accept it may take a while, but def worth giving a go!! I usually do my exercise in the evening but I'm awake bright and early this morning so may get on with them soon!!

Yay!! I do love my iPhone, and I must say the MFP app does make life very easy!

This is the website - http://www.twohundredsitups.com/ There's also iPhone apps (I'm a bit of an iPhone geek!) to keep track of how you're getting on.

Well done JustBreathe! You're def beating me!! I started the push ups one last night - only got 6 in my initial test - oh well I suppose at least there's room for improvement!!! :laugh: MrsSchmidty - it's crunches they say to do, apparently full sit-ups are not recommended as they can injure your back.

Cool!! Think I'm going to dothe 100 push ups one too. I'm just giving myself a few days before I dive in!! :smile: Let me know how it goes!

Bump! :smile:

Hey! Thanks all for your lovely comments! :happy:

I find level 2 more challenging, but def in a good way. It keeps my heart rate high throughout and I actually like the exercises better. Like said above - less jumping about like a nutter!

Think I maybe started noticing about 10-12 pounds down (had to start wearing belts with all my trousers!). I'm now 17lb down and am needing a shopping trip! I guess it's just different for everyone.

Fab results!!
