I tried Adios which say they increase your metabolism - I definitely don't recommend them! I got heart palpitations (occasionally still do), couldn't sleep and it was pretty scary. I'd never try anything like that again. Diet and exercise is the way forward. Good luck with your journey.

This is exactly what I'm going to do. I've gained 5lb since sp (I won't tell you what I call them!!) came in because as soon as I see that I've gone into deficit everything goes out of the window and I gorge on chocolate, cake, anything I can get my hands on - it's so demoralising to see a deficit when I've eaten healthily…

I am the same every Monday I'm up - but by Wednesday it's gone again (providing I'm sticking to it!). It's not real weight. My husband also seems to be able to eat what he wants all week and not work out and still lose after just one workout. He then has the cheek to moan that he's not losing if he's only lost 1lb - whilst…

Wow, that's commitment!! ;-)

34 26 33 119lb

So I did my fit test this morning - I didn't get much sleep last night and my legs were like lead thanks to my gym session yesterday, so I think I could've done better, but on the whole I'm pleased. Here's my results, wk 1/wk 3/wk 5 Switch Kicks = 47 / 60 / 64 Power Jacks = 31 / 39 / 35 Power Knees = 70 / 75 / 70 Power…

I agree completely!

Exactly this for me too - even been doing Insanity and eating 1200 and not losing! When I go to 1000 I lose. I'm 5'4".

@laurelderry OMG you go to the gym for 1.5hrs after work and doing Insanity before work?!!! You really are insane!! Lol love it!! :-D

I've been absolutey knackered all week too! Falling asleep at my desk by 2pm (I do Insanity before work!)!! Glad it's not just me!! I've been way hungrier too! I wasn't expecting that! :-)

Woo hoo - I completed the first week of Insanity yesterday! It's flown by! I weighed this morning and I've lost a pound after being stuck for months so I'm really really chuffed! Hope it keeps working! The program will finish right before my holiday! Good timing for me! Dig deep everyone! :-D

Hi all, just found this thread. I'm on day five - Pure Cardio - wow! Loving it so far tho. I'm 5'4", 33yrs old, average HR 142, max HR 178, cals burned 330. Dig deeper everyone!! :-)

Hi! I just started this week! My stats: Weight: 143 Height: 5'4" Ave HR: 142 Max HR: 178 Cals burned: 330 I think anyone can try this, it can only make you fitter! So I can't keep up with the peeps on the DVD, and some moves I can't perform at all just now - but I WILL get there eventually - as long as you've got the…

bump for later

Starting this tomorrow - yikes! A little nervous!! ;-)

Wow, that sounds pretty cool! Thanks for the info everyone! I'm gonna find out my gym's schedule! :-)

What do you do at a body pump class? I really want to add weights, but am also scared of the machines!! But my gym has body pump classes - I just wondered what they were?

Me too! When Bob and Jill suggested broiling chicken I just thought that sounds disgusting!!! Finally I know what they're on about!! Lol

Aubergine = eggplant Fringe = bangs

I do this!!! LOL :0)

Are you English or American? I'm English - and I know that in London they have a duathlon which is run/bike/run. Try searching the net to see if there's one near where you live? :-)

Defo Colin Farrell - he looks like Kevin Webster's long lost identical twin! (for the English out there!!)

Lol Totally agree on all three!!!

Me too!! :-(

Brilliant!! Well done!! :-)

Hi Sam, I just joined today too, I'm also 5'4" and I currently weigh 144. I wanna get to 126. I started dieting last year at 165, but I've lost nothing since Christmas! I thought I'd join here and see if it gets me back on track! Good luck with your journey! Let's hope it works!! :-) x
