brilliant! I wondered what the lingering fog was in London :wink: I think it's important to get good quality protein, how do you find the almond milk in your shakes. That sounds like such a nice idea. I wanted to avoid the lactose so been mixing with water, however perhaps an almond/coconut milk might be better perhaps? x

This thread is awesome...great responses everyone. I'm losing fat and can't wait until I can see my six pack and my arm muscles and look really toned. I also cant wait until I can drop some dress sizes and wear whatever I want and look cute - I love fashion too much to be fat!

As someone very pear shape or hip heavy, I think for me the most attainable shape - well the one I am aiming for - is Kim Kardashian. I would never want to lose my curves and I think she really knows how to dress heavy hips and bigger boobs really well. I don't think I want to be supper ripped, but I do want a lot of tone…

These are all amazing tips, thank you so much. Also I have a bit of a Shaun T crush - always an extra motivator to keep pushing play! ;) I am loving it and after re-starting ( i had someone come to stay so didnt have the lounge to workout for 3 days) I am on Pure Cardio today, which I have to say has me nervous BUT if I…

About to complete Day 5 of week 1 round 1. Hoping to get two rounds completed back to back. Would love some more MFP Insanity friends - please feel free to add me - extra support and motivation is always very welcome x

I am literally having that moment right now. Last year I lost 4 stone really fast using Lighterlife, since then i have put on 15kg! I stepped on the scale this morning as my jeans are so tight, even though I think I eat well and exercise - clearly I dont. I feel mortified, i feel a bit scared that I am going to wake up…

How long do you go away for each time? Is it overnight or a few days consecutively. A few suggestions below perhaps? Meal Replacements: Pre-pack sandwich bags with portioned protein shakes for however many days your gone. Again you could replace additional meals with protein bars perhaps? Generally you can get milk/water…

I just completed my first insanity work out. Week 1 Day 1, so a proper newbie. My calories burn was 368, max HR 188 Ave 144. I couldnt do all of it, but I did every exercise just not so many reps and still covered in sweat. It will be good to one day be able to do the full routine at pace and the whole thing...but for now,…

Hi Amolina I am also starting on Friday . Have done the fitness test and a bit of the first workout so I can get a taste of what to expect and its awesome. Sweaty, but awesome. I just need to find a bit of a bigger space and hope the neighbours downstairs dot mind my jumping around at 530am for a few days ;) Keep in touch,…

THAT, sounds really nice! Did you make it? x

ahhhh, you're all getting me so excited about picking up my watch! I have to say the one thing I am most looking forward to is more accurately recording the calorie burn at home workouts, and also during gym classes. So glad to hear you rate the polar watches, its such an investment of money that with so much choice you…

also, another good cheapy is cous cous. i'm not a fan myself as its wheat based but cous cous goes on and on and on - plus is a great option for a lunch. alternatively if you have £5 i would go for quinoa, its a seed/pulse but isnt high on the carb factor, great protein too and swells when you cook it so it goes great in…

hey guys, how is everyone doing with this? I'm going to be starting ripped in 30 and would love to hear how you are all getting on!? Good Luck and get ripped :) x

hiya, I am on a mega budget at the moment and currently spend around £25 a week on my shopping for me. I try not to buy any more at work or eat out unless its a special occasion. Apart from the obvious of trying to shop the bargain aisles for any meat or special items that are on sale you wouldnt usually get. I have…

i didnt think of that jellybean, using it to see which classes do the most for me. thats a great idea. also i'm so competitive it would be very monica like to be in competition with myself, awesome! :) The only annoying thing is it was bought for me as a present and delivered to work yesterday as a surprise, so i dont have…

I agree with a lot of the previous comments in that I think it depends how you spend your calories allowance. I think if you are sticking to a clean diet i.e no processed foods, no wheat/cheese/low fat etc you need a lot of food to fill up the 1200. For me, I have mine set to 1100, however I struggle to eat all of that on…

hey guys, great to meet you all and will be sending out friend requests so we can keep each other motivated! Currently I am trying to really keep my food clean, whole foods, and keeping my cardio up, mixed and fitting in weight training too. I am a member of pure gym and attending pure loser so i'm getting weighed…
