I was saying this to someone on here yday. Was it you? lol The zumba instructor is rather curvy at my gym. I was thinking of taking the class until I saw her taking regular personal training sessions!! Personally I want to be taught by someone who is proof of what they are teaching works. Sorry if that makes me un-PC

Thanks. The DVD is Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack.

Thanks all. I cant recommend this DVD enough. I am a complete fitness DVD convert now! I did it 4 or 5 times a week. Then I gymmed once or twice a week but mainly did strength training.

Hey all. Good to hear you are all sticking with it. I posted my progress pics today so I hope this spurs you on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/250416-6week6pack-completed-pics I am going to continue with it twice a week for maintenance I think.

Try six week six pack. I just completed the six weeks yesterday and got fab results (see profile pics for pictures of previous weeks) since you're already lean you should try it. I still lost 1lb a week whilst on it.

I complete six weeks tonight! Gonna push extra hard if I can! Nervous for my progress pictures tomorrow!!

Oh ok cool. I didnt realise you could still get results if you didnt do it everyday. You should hop on over to the six week six pack thread. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/240738-starting-jm-6-week-6-pack-sunday-22nd-may I would highly recommend 6W6P, its a great workout and I have gotten great results from it. I…

Have you tried Nairns Oatcakes? I eat the cheese flavoured ones with soup instead of Bread. Three of them fill me up just as good. I also have them with peanut butter for an after gym snack.

My dad once bought my mum six garden bulbs (the type that sprout into daffodils) and told her "now you can have flowers all year round honey"

on the flip side the worst gift I bought someone was when I was 13 I bought my mum a set of knives and forks for Xmas. She was not impressed. My logic was that she was always complaining we didnt have any matching ones.... Now I am a mother myself I would be so upset if anyone bought me cutlery for Xmas...

I was really mad at my ex one time as when he was away on a lads holiday I found some pictures on his PC from his last lads holiday of all of his mates taking it in turns to peck some girl on the lips and there was one of him!! I was furious and made sure I rang him to tell him he was in the doghouse when he got back.…

If someone else pays for my flight I would love to come! LOL

Right I'm definitely buying banish fat next then we can start a thread for that! Lol we are like the jillian michaels fan club! Lol

Something about the shred just doesnt convince me enough. Also I think it would be hard for me to commit to doing it every single day with my little girl around! I would feel awful if I missed a day. I would rather choose something that I can see through. Thinking of getting "Banish fat and boost metabolism" next. Feel…

You look so beautiful! Well done on all your hard work, it couldn't have been easy so very well done for sticking with it. I know u will probably hate me for mentioning your age but I really am impressed at your determination and stamina for 16 years old. I know a lot of adults that could learn from you! Well done again!

The side plank lifts are hard. Try doing just normal planks instead then when u have some spare time try doing just a normal side plank with one foot slightly in front of the other. I actually found I could do these if I wore trainers (better grip) so ended up doing them in the gym instead of at home during my DVD workout.…

You guessed right! They're there!! Trust me those seem like a walk in the park on L2...

I dont know if there is much truth in it but a few people have told me that your body only starts burning calories and fat efficiently once you have done 20 minutes of cardio exercise. I am off to have a google now! Edit: I had a google and cant find an answer. Tbh I have always done at least 20mins of cardio anyway. I…

I did jillian michaels 6week 6 pack DVD (in my final week) to tone my tum once I lost the fat thru cardio. It's worked a treat (pics on my profile) Good luck

Wow what a question. Everyone has different preferences. I guess its like asking people whether they like Marmite or not. There isn't a right answer. Just do whatever you feel comfortable with. Sometimes we don't know what we are comfortable with until we work a little closer to it. eg. my ideal GW was 161lb now I am 1lb…

Wow that is really impressive! Well done!

Sounds like you are all doing great! I am in my last few days now and can see the finish line. I have my workout tonight, tomorrow and Thursday and then I am done!! I think I will definitely keep doing level 2 once or twice a week for maintenance though. Don't wanna lose the six pack now I've got it!! LOL

Even by the end of week 3 I still hadn't mastered those properly!! Wait till you see what level 2 has in store. There is this move called "moguls" and it is my nemesis!

I am a reluctant member of fitness first in the UK. I used to be with Virgin Active who were AMAZING!! So clean, friendly and a POOL! My only complaint was it was too expensive for me to continue going whilst on maternity leave so I joined Fitness First in Finchley (North London). Whilst it is a bargain I think it is a…

I'd like to think I am a fair person so I guess I can understand that there needs to be a separate groups section for this kind of stuff. I guess I took offence because to me, a forum is an open discussion board and there seems to be lots of things that are limiting members. I think I can see both sides of the argument now…

Think u need to remove the spaces :)

Sorry to gear about your struggle. I don't have depression so I can't relate to that but I do have an 8m old baby. I've always been fairly slim with a naturally toned tummy so I struggled getting bigger during pregnancy. After I had my beautiful daughter I had 45lbs to lose and my lack of confidence spurred me on. Mfp…

Just stopping by with my 2p worth! I'm in my final week of 6week 6pack and ive got great results. I'll be posting my final progress pics on Friday but have some from previous weeks on my profile page. Good luck, it's a tough one but stick with it!

Great loss! Well done on your dedication. Under a year is a very quick turn around for 110lbs you should be proud!

Thanks for the great advice guys, I think I am definitely going to invest in one!
