Highly recommend couch to 5k program!

Thanks all - a lot of food for thought for me!! Where can I get electrolyte fluids, is that like a lucozade or something different? Might try the supplements too - I have just started with a protein shake after a work out too :)

Thank you for your replies. I do drink quite a lot of water, but may try and increase it a bit more. It only seems to be recently I get them during exercise which would indicate lack of water, but it is mainly the night cramps. Will try more potassium, water, and some stretches too :)

I do a lot of exercise so I have set my diary to 1200 and eat back half or so of my exercise calories, I stick to the basics of slimming world (green day , 2 A's, 2 B's ) etc and make sure I don't go over my cals - I always go over my syns though and most of the time lose weight - although I do need to get back to tracking…

wow well done :)

I would love to get back to it but no time to fit it in any more - in our county we have a 'back to netball' scheme which was great.

Not a photographer but like taking photos with my new toy My daughter on holiday in front of our ship - I just like the photo itself with her in front of it Sunrise into La Palma

I was going to do the 5:2 and struggled when to fit in the other day on the lower cals as I can burn quite a lot on a Monday and a Tuesday, but then I thought I don't want to do it on a Sunday for the same reasons you mention, nor on the Monday or Tuesday itself. So I do it on a wed, and so far that it is. It shows you how…

These were to die for! Thanks for the link

I am off to bed now but will reply properly tomorrow. We have a lot of quorn products in the UK so I have what the meat eaters eat and lots of salad. I do veggie kebabs too

Hello I am a vegetarian (have been for 15 years now) and in the UK Feel free to add me :)

How long is the workout on BFBM?

Going to have to make up my own rotation for this based on when I have the children. I had a go at no more trouble zones today not realising it was 50 mins in total, so no good when the kids are off preschool. I can manage one level of 30DS when kids are about, although I usually like to do L2&L3 together, but the aim is…

Mine get bored after 10 mins or so, or get in the way as the space I have available to do the dvd isn't much unless I move furniture, give it a shot!

Audi A4 avant S Line in Brilliant Red Its hot in red, and the bose system roars ha ha

Thank you - just getting copies of the other dvd's - I have ripped in 30 Level one on sky+ so may have to use that with 30DS until they arrive! I usually do Level 2&3 together on 30day shred anyway :)

I might try her level one of ripped and see how I go. I am just wondering whether to buy the JM collection DVD, as I was thinking of mixing it up a little, and I have just found on here about her JM slimdown in 30 days which combines all workouts on different days :) Thank you for your input :)

At the moment, I don't really have a goal as such, I still have approx 20lbs to go but will see when I get closer to getting the final 14lbs off. I would love to tone my arms and tops of thighs more, and of course the stomach, muffin top!! Thanks for your input :)

Thats an interesting read, thanks for your input! And thanks for the info re the other dvd, I have two days without the children so I can workout for longer, but the other days its hard, so anything 20-30mins would be good

I have been doing 30DS and started doing L2 & L3 together when I don't have the children and have also integrated killer buns and thighs, so this looks great, can someone explain a little more or do you just follow the plan that was suggested above?

I have a friend who is using the insanity dvd's and loves it, I am trying to get hold of a copy of it as I would like to have a go!!

Mine is a pic of me at my cousin's wedding two weeks ago - one of my targets was to get back into my purple dress 'aka operation purple dress' and I did it!! Its to make myself proud of my achievement so far even though it is slow, and to prove I can do it :)

Thanks for the information!! I call mine bingo wings!

I need breakfast but I think it is also now psychological for me If I don't eat it I am not too hungry till lunch time, if I do eat it and I am hungry mid morning -weird!

I really want to do this, when you get to the big numbers do you have to do it in one go i.e 80 burpees, or can you split it over the day?

I don't eat meat - so I use quorn products on the BBQ Veggie Kebabs as others have said, love sweet potato too but never thought to put that on the BBQ Asparagus on the BBQ - bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt I also put on - corn on the cob done in a lemon and lime, with garlic, chilli and herbs marinade I make a…

Wow, thank you all for your responses, I have just had a quick read through but will take on board all of it I am going to make an appointment with the doctor and get checked out. Guess what it happened today and I had a piece of wholemeal toast with peanut butter and I am good now, this happened 3 hours after eating…

see the next problem I have is I am a vegetarian and I am struggling to eat the right amount of protein (carbs is fine :D ) - could protein be causing this? I don't know whether I should go to the docs about it, I gave blood last week and when he dropped my blood into the two little bottles to check for whatever it is they…

hee hee I love nakd bars, get what I need out of them and they vary from 90-135 ish calories
