Have you done any circuit training? Perhaps have a crack at Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred or Ripped in 30, hoping a bit of toning might help you (and even if it didn't, at least you'll be stronger :-) )

I was lazy too, I joined a group doing the 30 day shred, it was brutal, but I hung in there, and by the end of it, I had made better friends with exercise, the next thing I tried was TurboFire, which is pretty full on, but boosted my fitness through the roof. My advice, start small, like you say, commit to 3 times a week,…

Burning between 600 and 1000 somedays for a while there and eating almost all of it back in treats (ice coffee, donuts, savoury pastries), I lost 10 kilos doing that :-D (still in a deficit so what I ate didn't seem to make a huge difference).

Not being able to wear skirts because my legs were chafing. I too have a pair of boots which won't zip up but I'm not sure losing weight will fix that, dang calf muscles *shakes fist*

Suspect low carb inevitably leads to low cal (as in you would feel full on protein and fat before you have really consumed too much). Personally still eating carbs, in moderation, or if it's convenient. A small calorie deficit brought on by exercise has been serving me well.

I'm pretty happy in Australia (although I've no where else to compare it to). Also, I've heard carrying a gun is an invitation to be shot at.

I have my settings on sedentary, but when I do work, it involves some walking around like that (and definitely being on my feet). I tried logging it as walking (always for shorter duration though say, somewhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending on how exhausted I feel after). Regardless of what others say, try…

mmm spinach bump

There was 'Music' created in 2011! *covers ears and la las loudly as she attempts to purchase things from the On The Run (24 hour convenience store that plays all the "latest and greatest" auto-tuned dance hits)* I guess Devin Townsend released something ok, even that wasn't his best effort though.

That is Exactly how I felt when I took my before pictures, a real eye-opener.

Count me in, Turboed through the end of last year, ended up hovering around week 6/7 for a bit and then stopped exercising for a bit, back into it now though yeah. Turbo will boost your fitness levels right up :-D

Anyone......

Kath and Kim?!!!! (Australian version obviously, not the American remake). "Look at moie"

Love the hippies :-D

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to make of it. I liked reading it though, thanks for posting.

I wanted to be a sound engineer now I am, that'll show all those old techs telling me "it takes a certain kind of person to do this job" in a tone of voice that suggests I'm not it. I wanted to lose weight, now I have (but only because I made good friends with exercise). Punctuation woman, I love you (in a purely platonic…

I've always been bemused by the fact that $1 beers (a 5th of the normal price, maybe even a 6th) are an integral part of orientation week for my city's most conservative uni (imagine what it might be like at the others). Let's take kids straight out of highschool and teach them to drink before the year even starts, very…

Not one for drinking here. ....I wonder about the black face, is that meant to be humiliating?...

Good way to pass 50 minutes http://www.uctv.tv/search-details.aspx?showID=14209

Along with proper strength training, have a crack at some circuit stuff, not as dull.

As long as the cheese fits within your daily calorie goal, don't sweat it. I sub cheese for meat a lot too and I've still lost. Forget the low fat stuff, eating small amounts of the full fat cheese will be more effective at filling you up and keeping you feeling full for longer (maybe also make friends with eggs. Eggs and…

Cheers, anyone else with any advice?

I have a strong sense of self, I grew up in a country town, I was different to the other kids (dunno how, just was), I was teased from grade 5 to grade 10 (finally kids started to grow out of it). I too have a tough skin now but the scars run deep. Conclusion, kids are inherently cruel! chubbieBunnie - I hear ya.

Along with drinking water and eating better (lots of vegies, small amounts of high protein and or 'good fat' foods). Setting your weight loss to something slow (maybe even as little as half a pound a week) is a way to manage the hunger. You might not be losing as quickly, but if it means you don't fall off the band wagon,…

They sound like the wrong bra for you. Perhaps you could benefit from a sports bra without underwire? Getting a professional fit couldn't hurt either. Good luck.

I agree, leave (there will be other romances waiting for you along the way). Wishing you the very best whatever course of action you take.

HIIT is incorporated in most Turbo Fire routines. After a few weeks of Turbofiring my weigh has diminished somewhat and I feel a lot more fit, could be HIIT related....

*cries* Turbo Fire!

So many Alice in Chains fans :-D Five I'm fond of (in no particular order) Rollins band Devin Townsend Project Alice in Chains NIN Augie March If you'd asked me 10 years ago it would have read something like Limp Bizkit Eminem Prodigy Gorillaz Cypress Hill ...I think I've come a long way since then :-)
