I'm really impressed! You are doing very well.

I love Zumba, and am trying to work myself up into doing the EA Sports Active again. Both really make you sweat!

And tastes SO much better! It's worth the cals!

You should always break yourself in slowly with inserts to allow the joints and ligaments to adapt, so wear them for half an hour the first day, then gradually increase the time daily.

Eye of the tiger by Survivor has to be my fave.

Oh Jake that's a good one! Finally we have RAIN! You can hear all the plants slurping it up! I put loads of veg seedlings in yesterday and they are all standing to attention this morning. Hope you all enjoyed Mothers day yesterday and were thoroughly spoiled. We had ours a few weeks ago. Spoke to my sister who had been…

Sandy, that's BRILLIANT!

Hi everyone! Just coming up to lunchtime here. It's dull but warm, but everyone's praying for rain as there are loads of fires on the moors. Away from houses so no danger to the population. Connie can you give me the recipe for sleep please? Since the menopause arrived it's a mystery to me :frown: Jackie, I can sympathise…

I would say that your body has been shocked into starvation mode. 2 hours is way over what is recommended over here (UK) If you are burning loads of calories and restricting them too then you won't lose.

Oh I SEE! You thought I was brewing tea in a crocpot :laugh: No in actual fact it was a rather yummy lamb curry! Over here, in polite company, we have lunch and dinner. BUT! I'm from the North , and we have dinner at lunchtime and our evening meal we call tea!( In VERY polite company there is afternoon tea, with cucumber…

Sweat!

You have alot on your plate at the mo, cut yourself some slack. Are you sleeping well?

Loving thoughts to you Maddie. Remember the happy times, it will help you get through. :heart: Hosepipe bans, ah well. We use hoses to water our gardens, wash our cars in what we laughingly call summer! If the reservoirs are low, they stop us from using them and we trail water out in our watering cans and the lawns go…

Morning ladies! The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky but we have a chilly wind. Lunch is made and the tea ready to go into the slow cooker. Lamb in black pepper sauce with lots of spices and chillies. Mmmmm! Scrummy! Oh is defrosting the fridge again, it has a design fault and if the power goes off then it freezes in…

I'm with easiyo too. Obviously love the full fat one but I use the low fat most.

Ah weekends! Relax,,,alcohol!

When I went on Prozac I lost weight because I didn't "feel the need" To turn to food. As my Dr said, it was just replacing the chemicals that were out of balance.

Sounds like pain referred from your back. Have you ever had a disc problem?

Good post!

I used to hate cardio. I'm very strong and love weights! But I l;ove Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred ( once I could cope with the jacks , 6 days!) and zumba is wonderful! I can feel my lower abs and saddlebags after every workout. And it's FUN!

I love Zumba!

Rumour has it that 3 cups of green tea a day speed your metabolism by 80 cals/day.

I'm 60 and got very good results with EA Sports Active, but I upgraded to a blue resistance band. You definitely need some resistance sort of exercise in there. Oh and I started 30 day Shred with 1kg weights.

Chuck the scales out and use a tape measure!

When I used to drive with mine, it used to clock up every time I changed gear!

Just a quick dash in! Went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park today. I'll post photos tomorrow. To everyone who needs thoughts from my Angels I shall ask for help. Bless you all! Judi xx

I felt shaky too! I thought my knees were going to give out on me and I had a real headache! Drink plenty of water and by day 5 it'll feel alot easier.

I really must get back into the habit of drinking more water. When I was at work it was difficult to get to a drink and I used to make up for it on my days off. But now I'm retired I seem to have lost my way. Makes a note to herself to do better.

Hi from E Yorkshire. I've been on here a few weeks. I've been going to Slimming World, but struggling so I decided that this week I'd track calories on here and see what happens. Morag you will LOVE the Zumba on Wii! Mine came on wednesday and I started the 20 mins beginner "Party". OMG! It took me an hour to stop…

Morning girls! Up at the crack of dawn again, OH snoring softly! So crept downstairs and put the computer on to catch up. Percy the pheasant is in the garden with his new partner. I hope it wasn't her I frightened coming down the lane the other day! I had to brake quite hard, a pheasant once took the grill out of our old…
