  • The thing with slimming world which I love is that it is easy to continue the plan, as more of a lifestyle rather than a temporary diet. It has taught me how to make different choices on food, and though I occasionally fall off the wagon and gain a bit of weight (mainly if work gets so hectic I get lazy and order takeaway,…

  • Absolutely gutted at the moment :( Meant to be on Week 4 now but I've had to take a break and didn't manage to finish the end of week 3 as I had an appointment with a client at the weekend and did a set of eyelash extensions, and not thinking about my 'form' was bent over in the wrong position for 2 hours and now can…

  • I love cardio abs! My favourite (I'm middle of week 3) is Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs - it just feels better working out a little longer! Don't you enjoy it?

  • Lol RoseTears143 I was a little naughty with the booze too! :( I had a christening yesterday and the sun was shining so everyone thought it would be a good idea to open the champagne! It totally finished me off for the afternoon/evening so I didn't even get the workout I had planned in (I have now had a rest day on Friday…

  • I agree with the snacking in the evenings - though the last few days Ive noticed I'm not as hungry after Ive eaten dinner so I'm not sure if it helps by just trying not to snack! Usually if I get hungry though I'll either have a banana or some sugar free jelly - that helps with the sweet cravings! It looks as though…

  • So true - me too! I was meant to do day 6 today but missed it :( so will catch up tomorrow instead (just means the program will take a few days longer!) Im loving it so far; never thought I would get into something like this as I'm not overly fit but can already notice a difference (lost 3.75lbs this week too!)

  • I have a soft boiled egg (dippy egg) with a slice of toast - boiled for 4 mins so normally do it whilst I'm just at the end of getting ready for the day.. great for the protein!

  • Hope you guys don't mind me joining; I actually started the middle of last week but thought it would be good for motivation for me also! Lisa please don't give up; you'll see the people on the DVDs get so tired out also, and they are trained to do the beachbody workouts! You have to always remember to GO AT YOUR OWN PACE…

  • Im on day 5 today; I did hardly any exercise prior to starting this (just power-walking to work most mornings for 10-15mins) - you can definitely do it! The thing is, the people who work out on the DVDs get tired and puffed-out and have to stop to take breaks, and they are used to doing the beachbody work outs - just go at…

  • Hi all, I'm Charlotte and I started Insanity on Wednesday 3rd April! Hope you don't mind be joining late! I was a bit naughty and had a rest day after Day 2 due to having a late night and just being too sore the following morning to get up, however I was back on it again on Saturday morning. I used to weigh 188.5lbs but…
