yes - I havent lost any weight - I stayed the same - but I have definitely shrunk/tightened up

I have to eat breakfast - otherwise I'm a junk food addict by 4pm. :ohwell: It might be my mind telling me that I've started the day strong, and that I don't need rubbish today, but I've lost 21lbs since my attitude to meal timing changed. I understand the maths - calories in have to be less than calories burned in order…

Whoa!!!! You've done so well! Well Done, jahnca02. I didn't bother taking Stats, I thought I would have given up by now, but now I'm thinking, maybe I should, at least today I will :-) Well done again!

lol! i just fast forward

"OH MY GOD! Would you look at that fat girl trying to run?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA". Yeh! YOU were running! Amazing! you did it and just keep doing it!!! Well done! I'm still not over that hurdle of having the confidence to do it! once a jerk, always a jerk, once a fat girl... but now... sexy mama coming through! stand up and…

Apparently, Jillian was 175lbs at the age of 12!!! Shocker! I want to thank you all so much, last night I got on the case and did the 20 minutes workout and I felt so much better! I think the stress of a voice in the back of my mind saying "you've already quit on day 4!" didnt help, so I really appreciate the support last…

Thanks ladies - I'll think up of some goal. I'm too complacent with this and a family wedding certainly is motivational. Earlier this year, I discovered JM because I wanted to make a significant difference to my body shape and the immense number of reviews on Amazon US (I live in the UK) convinced me to buy this "nobody''s…

Maybe I ought to have a goal - other than losing weight, and inches? :indifferent: I saw Faye had bought a smaller bridesmaid dress than she can fit into now... hmm...

how exciting Faye ?! keep going because it works! November - pst! thats so reachable - but you have to put in the work!

i havent as yet - had to take my mum out, but with the rain, she decided not to go! So will log in later and let you know - Well done guys. (how are some people on day 5?)

Wow! Ladies you all sound like me, it's so tough, but I'm feeling my muscles getting tight! I am the lightest today, similar to what I was 2 babies and an op ago, about over 10 years ago! My quads were killing, I didnt know I'd cope with the lunges, but pulled through, still on the girly push ups, but improving! yay! (I…

ice for sore muscles - watched biggest loser and after the cycling challenges, the smother the contestants legs with ice packs. Sir Chris Hoy recommends sitting in an ice bath after a day of cycling (or some other famous cyclist)

Hi guys Day 2 - determined to get done - really glad I joined this group or I wouldn't have been motivated enough :-) I found a pretty raincoat on the web, I don't do pretty - but want the option, so I'm keeping going! Still eyes on Tina!

Hey - anyway - if you stop exercising, it's a slippery slop back to 18 stone... that should be enough for you... Also , I have always wanted an honest opinion of "Insanity" - it looks great - how does it compare to Jillian Michaels' workouts?:smile:

Well, my 12 year old daughter was present, and she's savvy enough to understand her dad can be a real jerk, but she saw that I'm above that and that life throws those sorts of curve balls. It would've looked crazy if I'd slapped him, she's the school kid, not us.

Oh Werner, how true! It takes a lot to get going and then it probably hurts the ones left behind, who do know better but haven't overcome the hurdle of "getting 'round to it". :ohwell: Claire - I can't agree with you more, I've lost a stone and a half and when playing hide and seek in the park this weekend, I hadn't…

wow! A lot, lot harder than I remember! shower then time for lunch... How many calories did I use doing that 30DS __________________________________________________ Edited with calculation: 3.27 x weight in lbs = cals burned per hour divide by 3 for 20 mins worth of exercise…

Ok - Just off to do mine - are we all on Level1? Or are we setting our own levels?

my husband occasionally grabs my flab (sorry - I cant seem to phrase this any better) and says "it's not working that well is it?" - it did upset me tho I didn't say anything, and it put me off exercising for a few days each time (until I joined MFP) But I'm over it; mums at school have noticed that after 7 weeks of not…

I watch the Biggest Loser and on there I recall Jillian saying it's best to work out in the morning, something to do with when you've slept, you digested/burned last nights food and now you have just the stored fat to use as fuel... I can't recall specifically what was said, but I know it made me feel better as I try to…

Hi Thanks for that calorie calculation. Fitbit tells me I spent 500+ calories unlike the 266 calculated (and frankly more believable) I desperately need motivating - at plateau with everything... not really listing all my foods (you know, that extra biscuit with a cup of tea) not really completing a proper workout - I…

Ok, so 2 things, first give up Tasting anything sweet. Just say to yourself, no, not doing it. Trust and believe in yourself. Ok, not to preach, but I have 4 kids and potentially everything could sabotage my goal. So what I do is I get on the Internet and find Jillian Michaels cake recipes and make them up with my kids. (I…

I take evening primrose oil... Not a hippy, but after having kids I started with pain coming up to Tom, never ever bothered me before, and now I'm more or less settled again.

I think some people lose themselves getting hypersensitive I think Jack wasn't trying to get at anyone, so, SMJ1987, cool it girl! You started an unnecessary squabble. The science is simple, Calculate / or in my case, decide what you need to eat to lose weight if you sat around doing nothing all day. Say 1400? (I'm 163 lbs…
