  • I joined April 2013 and began with 30 mins daily swim, increasing to 60 minutes daily. After a month or two I added in the 30 day shred and cut back to 30 mins daily swim. After the shred I went on to Boost metabolism burn fat dvd and 6 weeks to 6 pack. I started at 189 and lost around 40 lbs over 4-5 months. I just got…
    in Swimming weight loss success??? Comment by pelpec July 2014
  • Bump I am working on BFBM (Jillian Michaels) on 3 days, alternating with Fitnessbender workout with weights for Fat Loss on 3 days, swimming half hour after each session, with a rest day on Sunday when I just swim. Doing this thru August then on holiday for 2 weeks, so I will be looking to change up mid September.

  • Only 111 days so far and I'm halfway to where I think I'd like to be....but I feel as tho I may carry on logging when I get to maintaining as I don't ever want to put the weight back on again!

  • I started out swimming half hour daily and quickly built up to an hour daily. After a few weeks I added in the 30 day shred and I've been doing 100 squats daily for 63 days now. In 15 weeks I have lost 28lbs. I eat up to 1400 cals eating some exercise back. I feel so much better and I am swimming stronger and could go…

  • Good luck! You have come to the right place. Just keep coming back , track your food and keep up the exercise. Take it one small challenge at a time. You will get there if you persevere :o)

  • I have weak knees and especially my right knee. I feel it using stairs. I figured I hadn't helped being overweight. I don't know if I can fix it, but I started doing 100 squats every day...day 42 now and I have lifted my bum, slimmed my thighs and I have begun to strengthen the muscles that support my knees. I think it…

  • I just got to day 8 level 1 and using only 3lb weights, but that's enough for my weedy arms just now. Like you I plan to move straight on to level 2, no breaks, as I feel I need to see a difference in my shape as soon as possible to keep my motivation up.

  • :ohwell: I am down 21 lbs and still in the same UK size 16 pants, but they are no longer squeezing me like a sausage in it's skin, they are loose and comfortable. I think like everyone else I will have to lose another 10-15 lbs to get down a size, and whilst we all work hard to get there it is still disheartening sometimes…
