It has helped me no end! If you have hand weights you could add resistance to any of the step games, also if you can get a riser this will give you a better workout. I find the boxing and the free run the best to increase my heart rate, but go for it!

Well, I did say last time I lost inches more than lbs! So officially the end of L1 today - did L2D1 proper! Think I hated it so much last time because I couldn't do most of the plank moves even by D10, but feeling much more positive about it today! Just don't like the chair squats with V raises... Anyway, my measurements:…

Right! Did D10! Woohoo! So that's L1 done and dusted! The last time I did this, I struggled on D1 on L2 & 3 because I think I was still 'learning' the routines and watching the DVD (which is hard when I'm not facing the tv and I can't wear glasses when I do JM), so I thought I would give L2 a test try straight after, to…

I'm in Worcestershire!

Up as far as D9...about to start it in a bit! Last week I didn't do any additional cardio so am gonna up that this week! Keep going everyone - we're doing brilliant!

Lmao!! Is so very true!

I tried it like that today - was good! Tomorrow I may try them outstretched but no more than a foot off the floor...I think she does something like that in No More Trouble Zones. I remember it being gruelling!

Did L1D7 today - not going to badly tbh...the anterior raises - thx to whoever said they stretched their legs as wide as poss - it DOES help! Woohoo! Only 3 more on L1....I hated L2 last time, so it will be interesting to see if I feel any love for it this time through!

I try to give positive comments - whether I can see their diary or not, and as I often respond on my iphone, as yet, unless you go into the proper site, there is no way on the app to view people's diaries. I am uncomfortable with the notion of 'checking' diaries...I will look, out of interest, but the only things that will…

Did D5 today...yesterday I switched up from 2kg weights to 3kg ones...on most of the exercises! The ones I upped were: Squat and press (although on the 2nd time today I swapped back!) The back exercise one - dumb bell row? The chest fly I also did proper push ups (yeah!) and...despite my hatred and loathing...did all the…

About to do D4....I STILL hate the anterior raises with the side lunge!! Although, I managed to get through them...a bit slower than the DVD, but I did it! Re stretching, I go on to do some more cardio after the DVD so do some stretching after that. In her other DVDs she does spend longer on the stretching...:smile:

I think I would be apprehensive in your position, so it's totally understandable. FWIW and as your friend here on MFP, I think you've coped marvellously since your injury and I would keep all those achievements at the forefront of your mind to hopefully chase away the nasty demons come Monday!

Count me in - I did it earlier this year and although only lost 2lbs it was great for toning and losing inches! I did D1 yesterday, a bit sore today. I'm looking to do it straight through this time, although am going away later this month.... Starting stats: Weight: 63.1kg Waist: 68 cm Hips: 80 cm L thigh: 54 cm R thigh:…

I try and get three in before or around breakfast - 1 glass to take my tablets with (woohoo, at last, I'm grateful for morning medication!), 1 glass of hot water with a slice of lemon and a 3rd glass after my breakfast. That puts me a 1/3 of my way through. If I don't, then I often struggle because then I forget until…

We grow our own and are just beginning to see the fruits of our labours! We've got cucumbers and lettuce, toms beginning to ripen, cabbage, courgettes, mange tout, broccoli, spinach and potatoes! Later we'll have sweetcorn, squash, leeks, onions, carrots, parsnips, celeriac...oh...a bit of everything! We try to grow for…

I use 2 and 3kg weights. I didn't buy them as a set, however. I use the 2kg weights when doing wii fit free step - bicep curls, tricep extensions etc and the 3kg on JM DVDs...although sometimes I have to take it down a step depending upon the move!

I love my porridge! Have it 5-6 times a week and it totally keeps me filled up until lunch, which is great, as I do my workout during the morning.

Jillian Michaels does a couple of inner thigh exercises....they both involve you being in a side plank position! No1: In a side plank, supporting your weight on your top leg, bend your lower knee up towards your chest, squeezing your inner thighs as you do. Do a set (30sec), Swap sides and repeat. No2: T stand raises (I…

I make my own bread using a breadmaker too. I think the quality is much better than shop bought, although the lack of preservatives means it doesn't last very long!
