I have just started level 3 and have 9 days to go! I have really enjoyed it so far, and at first you think, 'how the hell am I going to do that???, but the exercises are not difficult once you have done them once and you can do the easy version at first. The only thing I would be mindful of is doing the exercises…

It's intense and quite tough, but the exercises are not too technically difficult and there is a lot of strength training involved which really gets your heart rate up. I am on day 12 and really enjoying the challenge, but also really noticing a change in my body which looks and feels much more toned. But be warned Gillian…

~Hello I've just lost a stone, it was tough but sooo worth it, getting back into my old clothes and feeling like I have loads more energy! I would like to lose another 7-10lbs but I am going to take it slowly. I used to run like you but stopped about 2 years ago I really want to start again, but my knees are a bit dodgy at…

I will start to drink more water and keep you posted if I notice any changes in my rate of weight loss. Good luck to all of you too, I'm really glad for the feedback it has really…

Big up to the UK crew! plenty of us here by all accounts. I've been using MFP for nearly 2 weeks now and its been a revelation! I'ts really helped me understand where I have been doing things excessively, I can now accurately keep track on what I am eating and hopefully get back into my redundant wardrobe! good luck…
