I have one too, and I love it! Especially during the summer when I often want to eat something light (instead of, say, pasta). Like most, the main thing I do with it is spaghetti or salads. In fact I just had a bowl of zucchini and carrot "spaghetti" with some sauce; you get a ton of food for very little calories. But as…

While normally there would be separate changing rooms provided I've seen a couple of places in Finland only have one changing room (I assume because there really was no room for two). So yeah, not normal practice but it happens. Personally don't care either way, I just couldn't care less if it's men or women who happen to…

Now next week I'm off and won't be doing my "mandatory" commute walk, so I might struggle more with getting enough exercise in. Still aiming for…

I have 120+ to lose, and while some of it is already gone there's still an incredible amount of work to do! Anyone in the same situation can add me. :smile:

I know I'm a day late but I want to take part too! :smile: Name: CC Age: 28 Height: 163cm (5'4") Start weight (1st Feb): 98,5kg (217lbs) Goal weight (1st March): 95kg (209lbs) Weigh ins: 1st Feb: 98,5kg (217lbs) 8th Feb: 15th Feb: 22nd Feb: 1st March: Weight loss/gain this week: Weight loss/gain so far this month:…

It's already been said, but I'll say it again; find a certified instructor and take some classes with them to make sure you get your form right. Just make sure they really are certified, just because they are holding a kettlebell class does not mean they know what they are doing (I have seen things that will haunt my…

Congrats on your loss so far, that's great! :smile: For those of us who have more to lose it often takes a lot longer to see changes. I've lost about 30lbs so far and am only now starting to see some differences (even though I know I've lost both weight and inches). I think it's because you usually lose fat pretty evenly…

Have you thought about T-Tapp or Pilates? In T-Tapp most exercises are done standing up and you sometimes have to balance on one leg, so I don't know if that suitable for you right now. However I think Pilates is mostly floor work? And yeah, like it was suggested above body weight exercises like planks, push ups etc. would…

I'm sorry you're struggling with such severe pain, I know from experience how miserable it can be. :( I too would wait until you see your doctor before you get back to the gym, it's better to be safe than sorry. If you can get in on Friday do it. Just a thought; if you do think that the pain is related more to muscles than…

I've already lost a little but as I'm still 227lbs at 5'4" (yeah, our stats are almost identical!) I have ways to go yet... Definitely on the market for friends with more to lose, so I'll add you (and anyone else who fits the description can also add me if they wish). :smile:

Awesome job, you look fabulous! :smile:

Kettlebells and T-Tapp. :smile:

I'll add you! Might be interested in doing a challenge at some point too... And I too would like to connect with people who are into kettlebells so feel free to add me.

Yup, this is me as well. In addition to that I have a massive sweet tooth and have trouble with portion control (I like to feel FULL, so have trouble stopping at "no longer hungry"). In the past emotional eating (coupled with the above) was the biggest issue and the reason I ballooned up to these proportions, but…

What a fantastic post! Thank you for writing it, and congratulations on your continued success. :flowerforyou:

You've done incredibly well, congratulations! Such an inspiration. :flowerforyou:

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. Excellent. Love, love, LOVE both Pratchett and Gaiman! :flowerforyou:

I suggest you look into the DVDs made by Lauren Brooks. She also has a book out (called Kettlebells for Women) which I've found really useful when I've come across a new exercise, so definitely recommended getting that even if you don't get her other stuff. If you want to start with a cheaper DVD you could try Kettlebell…

I would stay away from the vinyl covered ones. I tried them once and HATED them, they tried to murder my hands. Whatever make you go for the cast iron ones are a safer bet. I've bought cheap (cast iron) kettlebells from eBay and Amazon and haven't had issues with them, but if you can afford the better quality ones they…
