  • Swimming is great for no-impact exercise. Your body weight will be supported by the water as well. Have you ever gone climbing? I'm not sure if your knee can handle it (not entirely sure what movements may hurt it) but climbing is good exercise because you're having to lift your body weight. You could go to an indoor wall…

  • Wow, such amazing results! You've really inspired me to look into New Rules as something to do after Insanity.

  • I was going to suggest Insanity too. It's great for getting fat to just drop off you and the first phase workouts are about 35 minutes long. It's the hardest workout I've ever done and no equipment is needed! I've done P90X too and that's good for toning and fat loss but the DVDs lasted longer (sometimes up to 90 minutes…

  • I have similar values with female, 29, 5'5" and 130lb.

  • One of my exes used to say I was fat all the time when I was with him. He'd call me stuff like Fat Cat and make a big deal out of me eating dessert. I only weighed 135lb at 5'5" so I wasn't even overweight: it's a healthy BMI. The funny thing is that he was overweight himself. And he also used to go on and on about how…

  • I thought the same thing just a months ago and was determined not to even try it; I wanted to lose weight by 'clean eating' and not by relying on an expensive meal replacement. Problem is, I work away from home at a drilling camp and the cooks were feeding us rubbish (hotdogs, pre-salted fries, etc) so I bit the bullet and…
