I got mine on wednesday. I did the 20 min beginner party. I didn't stop sweating for an hour! Then I did the no 2 easy party one yesterday which seemed easier, so switched back to no1 tonight and I have rivulets of sweat pouring down my neck! I love it! Off for a tepid shower! And I could feel the abs in the bottom of my…

How often are you weighing yourself? Are you doing your measurements? When I started EA Sports Active 2 years ago I lost 1 1/2 lbs in the 30 day challenge, but lost 2" off both my hips and waist. I lost off my legs too but hadn't measured those. It's easy to get hung up on the scales.

Oh and Happy Birthday Dee!

Get well soon Maddie! All this stress won't be doing you any good. Thanks for the help, hope I've sorted my signature!

Hi everyone! Another glorious day in the North of England too Jackie. OH is painting, (in one of his few decent t-shirts :angry: MEN!) And I took advantage of a few clouds to do 20 mins zumba. My thoughts are with you re your mum Maddie. Connie, we've just had the first series of Mrs Brown's boys! I think it's been going…

Evening peeps!It's been the most beautiful day here in Yorkshire, 20c, way above what we should be having, but What Ho! I lost 1lb this week which makes up for the half I put on last week. When I got home the postie had been with my Zumba game for the Wii, so I set it up and did a 20 mins beginners ?class. SWEAT? I was…

First of all, please Maddie don't go. I know I haven't be around much lately, (still struggling with the Glums) but I've been reading posts. The trouble with forums is that the posts don't allow for the inflection in your voice. I have often , on other forums read what I posted and it looked far different than the way I…

Bread baking Newly mown grass Seaweed.

I lost 2" off both my waist and hips the first time I did the 30 day challenge on the original EA Sports Active.

Start your Kegel exercises ladies! It takes dedication but if you do them several times a day for a few months, you'll be able to squat and sneeze without any probs!

I'm with Rick re Glenn Harold, his cd's are well worth yhe money. I'm currently using his slimming one. But if you hate exercise why don't you do something like a zumba class .

Side lunges.

I wish!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the fitter you get, the more you sweat.

Dee, try the cycling on Wiifit + it's addictive. Recipe for piri piri chicken here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/piripirichicken_72310 It was scrummy :smile:

I can't believe no one has mentioned Eye of the tiger.

Oh LUV2Cruz! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Well I'm feeling alot better today, the training session turned out to be computers for dummies so I reckon I'll cope with it :wink: Out of the 5 of us there, 3 are going to Canada for their hols, so prepare for an…

Just out of interest, how much does your 30 Day Shred burn? And big respect to you for doing it! Lets show the youngsters the way to go! Judi

Now if you went to learn a foreign language, you wouldn't expect to be fluent within a fortnight would you? It takes time to get your muscles working, and the half moon pose isn't the easiest! Why not try the step. It's only a few minutes to start with and it will start to tone your quads. Then as you work through you'll…

Afternoon my Lovelies! Sorry I've been a bit sporadic with my posting over the last week. A combination of being busy and the dreaded "Glums" creeping up on me. I've always had a tendency towards depression, but thought that SAD had passed me by this year,,,, HAH! Just not being able to get the frames I wanted for my…

Morning all! I'm struggling with my back today. Haven't been able to exercise for 3 days and I'm really grumpy! I'm hankering after cheese on toast, but I know I wouldn't stop at one slice if I started! I shall watch the rugby this afternoon . Basil seeds have germinated so I've sown some coriander. I can't wait to be able…

My thoughts are with all the people in Japan who have lost loved ones. It makes all our worries seem trivial.

At a bustop in Edinburgh ( Scotland) , 10.30pm, after he'd danced with everyone else in the pub. We've been married for 40 years this June!

Of course you can't stop thinking about him! You have a big hole in your life and you are still in shock. Try to remember all the happy times you had together, and talk about him every day. He will always be with you and watching over you. Talk to him too. I will ask my Angels to help.

Quick visit! Barbie you make me feel tired! I found this webpage for midges http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/tfl.midge.html. It cannot convey the misery of being covered in the bites! Hi Laura! Join in! I lost half a pound this week, but my inch loss makes up for it. I'm trying to do the 30 Day Shred every other day, but my…

Good evening ladies! Yesterday got away from me, so I didn't drop in to see what was going on. What a cheerful lot you all are! I'm struggling to identify all the names so forgive me if I only pick a couple out. My concentration is not what it was! Brain Fog I think they call it! Jeri I hope your cystitis is improving.…

Well done Caity! Just finished Day 7 L1. I really felt as though "I did it" today. The cardio is definitely getting easier. Oh and thanks to whoever it was saying to do it without trainers, my jacks now look like jacks! I shall measure on Wednesday when I've been to weigh in.

I would go for it! I'm 60 and I do it every other day because my knees get sore if I do it every day. You do feel as tho you can't breathe the first day, but I can now do all the cardio without stopping (day 6)

Yes I'm in Yorkshire! Well done on the early start! I'm just screwing up the courage to go and do day 7 now! I gave my kees a rest yesterday, but I need to get it done.

Zumba still hasn't come out for the Wii in the UK :frown: they've put back the release to April now. Have to say I can't get on with the Biggest Loser. I prefer the EA Sports Active. The calorie burn seems very low on TBL.
