I downloaded a free pedometer app on 31 Dec for android and it seems to be working ok. Seems fairly accurate. I do turn it off when driving as I think some steps can be added then turn if on again when I get out of the car. Think it could be trial and error to see what works best for you (and your phone).

Up at 5.30am for Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones workout. Nearly halfway through the 30 day slim down programme.

Belonged to various gyms over the last 15 or so years and always enjoyed it. Then about 5 years ago I started having sessions with a personal trainer which made me realise I could push myself more than I thought. However in Dec 2012 I was really disillusioned with the gym and decided to cancel my membership to work out at…

Jessica Smith has a standing abs workout on youtube. It's about 30 mins long and worth doing.

Flying from the UK to Orlando for 2 weeks in May. Hoping all the walking round the parks will help to keep things under control as the food portions there are much bigger than we're used to in the UK. Planning on sharing some meals if necessary. Orlando is a one off holiday as it's so expensive to get there so not going to…

Anyone out there with any thoughts on this???

I set my alarm for 5.20am Monday - Friday and workout for 30-45mins. Either treadmill, elliptical, dvd and/or power hoop. Nice to know it's done for the day then!!

Guessed myself 15% to big - and apparently a rectangle shape!?!?!

I'm with you on this. Never attended classes at the gym. Taken it one step further now and cancelled my gym membership to work out at home for the first time in years. Love it and wish I'd done it ages ago - seen more results in 6 months working out at home using treadmill and dvds than in all the years I slogged away at…

At the moment I get up at 5.30 to do 30DS before work. Sometimes I get on the treadmill as soon as I get in from work or jump on it while dinner is in the oven. You just have to try different things until you find what works for you now and then change and adapt as your children get older. It does get easier as they get…

This is copied from the link in the OP. The next step to 30 day slimdown as it changes slightly. Good for the UK as Yoga Meltdown is being released here in August.:drinker: blacKandi’s “Slim Down…Some More!” Workout Rotation Day 1 – 30 Day Shred Level 3 & 1 (in this order) Day 2 – 30 Day Shred Level 2 Day 3 – No More…

www.greatruntraining.com have various learn to run programmes and they have a 5K one. Might be of some help to you.

Have a look at www.resourcefulcook.com - they have weekly meal plans for one. I have used it as I always plan the family meals for the week to make life easier. Hope it helps.

Thought people posted for help, advice and support??

MFP is set up to create a deficit BEFORE exercise... that is why you should then eat back exercise calories, as too large a deficit can be detrimental. [/quote] Please explain in more detail - eating back calories I've exercised off doesn't make sense to me. If MFP gives me 1200cal and I eat 1100, doing exercise could give…

Seems stupid and surely defeats the point if you burn off 300 cals then these are added back to your allowance to eat?!?!?:huh:
