Thanks will go and check it out :)

I just realized at the Gym i have been using a Stair Master not a Elliptical Trainer so i guess i cant really say too much :)

I have just discovered the Elliptical trainer upstairs at my local Y after hurting my lower calf muscle which meant i could not take part in group fitness for a few days. I love it ! I can get a good sweat up and be almost breathless with 10 minutes using high Resistance. I will do around 80 minutes on the machines now and…

Woohooo awesome work :love:

All excellent advice .... i do spin all the time and it is one of those classes where you sweat almost straight away ! i always have a bottle of water with ice and water in it and in the warmer months a wet wash cloth to wipe my face down and keep me cool !! You will love it its a great workout

I always have 4 or 5 almonds before a workout and that seems to work a treat

I have never done it (not sure if my old bones can handle it) but we did a snippet of it in a Les Mills Launch and it looked awesome. Its very high impact you would burn tonnes of calories :)

I think its more strength training :)

I agree i am still overweight but not for long now i have discovered MFP .... have normal everything and resting heartrate of around 57 to 60. No excuse to be fit :)

I have recently starting using the Elliptical trainer at my local YMCA after hurting my calf muscle in one of the group fitness classes. I am pretty impressed with it ... I am sweating almost straight away and can burn a good 600 calories in 80 mins. I must admit i warm my body up first then turn up the resistance up full…

Excellent !! every step towards our goals is worth celebration !!:drinker:

I think MFP has been my saviour just knowing what i put into my mouth has made a huge difference infact i am amazed at how much i can still eat and lose a pound a week. I had a band 2 years ago .... i only lost 10 kilos with it. If i had of had the band and MFP i would of lost more and kept it off but next year when i get…

Im the same .... if i am hungry first thing in the morning i will have 4 or 5 almonds and that seems to do the trick.

I burn around 350 to 450 calories doing RPM. I have been doing for over a year now and do 3 classes a week. I find it hard now to get the calories up so am going to drop a couple of the classes and do something different. I have a Polar FT7 HRM

Yum so i can eat as many crumbs as i wont ?????? ...... off to look for Crumbs:laugh:

I have used Stevia for over 10 years now in my coffee etc

Congratulations you have done a amazing job :smile:

Congrats !!! u can really see the difference

Congrats !! Nothing better than clothes getting baggier !!

Hi BB i dont weigh myself at all. As i just want this to be forever not for a short time. I like u dont want to become OCD over the scales i know i will be on them every day if not more. i use my clothes as a measurement of weight lose. I want to measure myself but have not found my tape measure yet. You know those really…

I have a Polar FT7 and love it ... my trainer swears by Polar watches.

I love all the group fitness stuff !!! Body Vive atm is my fav but love RPM Zumba etc ... i never miss a day at the gym

Yes my favourite snack of raw almonds floored me, when i looked them up i was shocked! Now i only eat 5 to 10 a day

Even though i want to lose all my weight in a very short time i think 1 pound a week is very very doable. To me i can eat very normally not cutting anything out. Just learning about Caloric Intake and Deficit was a huge turning point in my life. I have no idea what i have lost (have been on MFP for 4 weeks) but i know…

I have been doing Zumba twice a week for over a year and love it !!!! Yes my legs still get tangled but what a great workout and what a great laugh :)

I have a Polar FT7 and love it

Curves is a awesome workout if you only have 1/2 hr a day or a few times a week to workout. But if u have done spin/pump/vive etc you may find Curves a bit too easy. :)

I was finding that. i read somewhere to get half a lemon doesnt matter if it has been squeezed put some honey on it and then rub over your face and leave for 2 mins then wash off. It works a treat for me.

The way i think of MFP is its a food tracker and as long as you are having a caloric deficit then your body will shed weight. I am actually amazed at how much i get to eat and how i can incorporate everything into my day. I am a gym junkie and love a great workout and wear a Polar FT7 to keep track of of calories burnt…

I love my Polar FT7. Just out of curiosity how many calories do u burn when swimming compared to cardio! I love the idea of a accurate record of each workout
