do it once, and it will be 30 minutes more exercise than had you never tried it = win. If you like it, keep going. If you find you stop doing it, try something else and sell the dvd to someone else. You still get 30 minutes exercise done, and that's not crazy in my books.

who cares what other people think, if you think it's sexy than it is, end of story. You aren't trying to please their significant others, you're trying to please yourself. In my experience the most attractive females are those that are happy in their own body - whether that is little, big, muscles, skinny, curves..…

I like this response. Good point, if you decide to give an ultimatum be careful that it isn't a form of emotional blackmail to get him to do what you want to do. You can't force him, but if you are unhappy with how things are you can express your feelings to him, tell him why you'd like to be married for example. Make sure…

chia seeds in a drink (eg milky type of drink, whatever you like, almond milk, protein shake, standard milk) = pudding + very very very fulling soup loads and loads of veges lean meats

yes they will, mine were like yours and now I barely notice anything. I wish I'd taken before photos of my stomach to prove it. Now I miss the red lines like fire.

I lift, it's fine, I don't care about anyone else. I'm often the only girl over there, but not always. I am at a gym that isn't too flash and has mostly older people, which is better I think because they are just there to do their thing and not to pick up girls or whatever so I don't mind them and they don't mind me. One…

Me too :) Portion control and/or substitute ingredients. It's easy. Pizza > replace the base with pita or some healthier base, reduce the cheese and use fat free cheese, add tonnes of veges to the top, use a leaner meat. 3000 calorie meal becomes 300 or less calorie meal. Cake > use a better flour, substitute butter with…

you are amazing!

I'm 23 and have a 3 year old, it's totally do-able & enjoyable, don't give in to the feeling that you can't do it or that you are too young because if you can imagine what a good mother would do then you are able to do that no matter what your situation is. Over time you start to see the benefits of having a child younger…

They sound horrible! Hmm... I think they sound just awful and I agree with the comments that you should limit your time with them.. Or perhaps not so much avoid them but focus instead on spending more time with the people you come across who are supportive, so by trying to spend more time with nice people what happens is…

You need to describe what you mean by new material - as all towels should absorb moisture, what is different?

you are awesome & good luck with all your goals

Those are so cute, although perhaps a bit high in calories (except the glowstick), however I think spreading it out across the days makes it slightly better because it's the one treat for the day. Very sweet of her. Haha pun.

Any exercise that you find fun :wink: Mix in some resistance, some cardio, some stretching.

coconut chicken breast: - minced garlic, shredded coconut, and a little olive oil: mix together (do ratio to your taste but don't be scared of the garlic, and don't add too much oil, just enough that the bits stick together not enough that it's super wet) - plain chicken breast, no skin - spread the coconut mix out onto…

I find combat style classes really good for working my arms, punching and that kind of thing helps to tone the different muscles of the arms, but in a class setting with music and kicks and jumps etc you also get the cardio going which helps burn loads of calories. I think strength exercises are also great, because they…

yes, I am from Wellington

I think weights would help you a lot, especially ones designed to strengthen the back. Muscle burns more at rest too so you'll find it easier to lose fat. However, because you have back problems it would be a good idea to get advice from a physio &/or personal trainer who is familiar with those issues to ensure no injuries…

I think I go through this with my husband sometimes. The thing is, while you are your biggest enablers you can also be your biggest supporters. Perhaps try changing your activity and treat it like a date eg: go to gym together; go for a bike ride together; go to the beach; go to a local park or for a hike; go for a boat…

The thing that has helped me most with energy levels has been exercise. Yes it is hard to start, but start slow. Build up. You will get stronger and you will become more energetic. Every day tasks will become easier for you when you are stronger.

haha. With spinach it took me ages to figure it out but the key is to add baby spinach to smoothies, rather than just any old spinach. Baby spinach doesn't leave any bitter taste but just nice vitamins and a green colour.

frozen berries, banana, just enough water to cover, a teaspoon of honey. It's good. The more frozen berries you have, the thicker it is. Or just blend frozen berries up for a yummy sorbet.

that's a lot to celebrate! well done

Good suggestions on here already for how to do it. If you want to you can. I'd suggest breaking your goal into smaller more easy to achieve goals to ensure you have the success feeling along the way and not the "I suck I'm still so far from my goal" feeling which really does not help at all, and instead leads to a lot of…

I gained a minimal amount of weight when I did it for 20 days, but my body fat % went down & so did my measurements. My shoulders looked more muscular afterwards. In 3 days it probably is water retention, but do make sure you take other measurements & not just weight as gains are demoralizing. It's about a week and a half…

you have a lovely smile, and wow that is so amazing, you have lost so much

oh no! maybe you need to focus on different goals? Like at the gym focus on getting stronger, lifting heavier, running further or faster.. and don't focus as much on calories burnt so long as you're going.
