Truvia is the UK Stevia. It is totally natural and can be used like sugar.

I have not weighed in for 3 weeks and am trying to stabilise my maintenance calorie intake. When I stepped on the scales last Friday I had gained 3.9lbs so I guess I need to cut back a bit. Hopefully I will be able to lose some of this by next Friday.

I agree

I'm proud that I have made it through 6 complete weeks of Jillian Michael's Body Revolution! Roll on week 7.

Down 0.6lb plus 0.75" on hips and thighs. Delighted.

I have lost 0.8lbs since my last weigh in. I have also lost 1/2" round my waist and 1/2" round my hips. I am pleased with these results. I have tried to stay close to my calorie allowance but went about 350 on Wednesday when I had to attend a lecture after work. I was not going to get dinner until 9.00pm and so tucked into…

Nakd bars are totally natural with no added sugar and contain nuts so good on protein. The cocoa flavoured ones are a really good chocolate fix

I stayed the same this week but there is no real surprise there as I have been so hungry with this cold weather that I have not always stayed within my calorie allowance. I have now been trying to get down from my current weight since September last year. My body measurements are where they need to be for me to wear all of…

I have gained 2lb this week. I think there are a number of factors responsible one of which includes eating too much cake in the office - my downfall! I have started taking measurements so that I can keep an eye on what's happening in terms of shape and body composition. Have been working out to Jillian Michaels' Body…

I am happy this week. I have been keeping within my calorie allowance and doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and I have lost 1.3 lbs this week which is half a pound short of the weight I gained at Christmas but hopefully that will be gone next week and I will be back to my goal weight I hope you have all had good…

You really need to cut all junk food out of your diet for at least a month. During that time your tastes will change and you will no longer crave the sugar and salt in the junk food. You then need to restrict the consumption of junk food to no more than once a week but less frequent if possible. It gets easier as time…

What a fantastic achievement well done & keep up the good work

Oh well. I faced the scales this morning with some trepidation. The result? - up 1.8lbs! I suspect some of that might be muscle weight due to the amount of walking up mountains in the Lake District and also I have been doing Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution and my muscles are certainly feeling more toned. Hopefully I can…

Hi Everyone I am Angela and I have just celebrated my 52nd Birthday. I reached goal weight just before Christmas and am now hoping to maintain my weight in the longer term. My JMBR arrived on 31 December and I set to that day with the first workout of phase 1 and also Cardio 1 as I knew that I would not be able to exercise…

Nope! I enjoyed a workout at home. I do not belong to a gym any longer as I got bored with it. I much prefer to do my own thing at home. This morning it was Jillian Michael's Body Revolution which arrived in the post yesterday.

hello everyone. I think I missed checking in last week. I am down 1lb this week and have decided to move to weight maintenance mode as I am within my ideal BMI and body fat % now and if am very comfortable with my current weight. If I happen to lose another few pounds whilst I am trying to find my ideal calorie goal for…

I shall not be Counting on Christmas Day as it is also my Birthday and I have worked hard to continue losing weight to the last moment. I lost 1lb this week. I deserve a day off from tracking but I shall try to be sensible about how much I eat on that day.

Wow!

I spent hundreds of pounds on advice from a qualified nutritionist after suffering health issues as a result of my dieting over the years. I do not need any other advice on my food intake. I can also be totally honest with myself about much I eat and may not be so honest if my diary is open for inspection.

I think your new hair colour suits you much better. You look fab.

You look amazing at the weight you currently are so do not get too hung up on the last few pounds.

Work out your total daily calorie expenditure. For a woman this is going to be between anywhere upto about 2,000 and then reduce it by 250 to 500 calories depending on how much you would like to lose each week. Exercise 4 x per week and eat a well balanced diet and the weight will come off. There is no magic to it. It is…

I am pleased to report that I lost 1.3lb this week. I have tried to ensure that I drink more water and that I move more and that I stick within m calorie allowance and it seems to have paid off. If only I were so focussed every week.

I am 5'4" and if I go below 140 I now look ill but when I was younger my ideal weight was 133lbs. At that stage I did not work out and did not have any muscle weight. I am almost exactly the same size between the two weights

if you have a computer and internet connection then go to FitnessBlender.com. They have loads of great workouts that you can do in your own home. There is no music in the background but you can play your own or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.

I knew within a week of meeting my hubby that he was the one for me and we have now been married for more than 24 years. I am as happy today as I was all those years ago. We have grown together over the years and have many of the same interests but also have individual interests which means that we always have things to…

You are not eating enough calories. I have looked at your diary and you are eating less than £1,000 calories at day. You should not eat any less than 1,200 per day and preferably you should eat to your BMR which is usually around the 1300-1500 mark depending on your height and current weight. Your body is likely to be…

Strength training will not make you look bigger unless you have high levels of testosterone in your system. However it will lengthen and tone the muscles which will make you look and feel slimmer. Muscle also burns more calories so you would be wise to include strength training to your workouts.

Well what can I say. I have lost 0.4lb this week. After my mammoth exercise challenge last Sunday I decided to take the week off as I have not had a break from exercise for many months. However I have been careful to ensure that I have stayed within my calorie allowance all week. I am beginning to think that my body is…

I agree.
