I live in Italy - stars and stripes T-shirts are EVERYWHERE this summer so maybe you SHOULD wear the flag to fit in! If Italy didn't have tourism it would be in an even bigger economic mess than it is - have a great time, you'll love it!

I live in Italy and I go to the gym with a British friend. We overheard this in Italian about us.... "Aww, don't you love hearing them speak? I'm going to get one from England for my house!" Er, we are actual humans. Thanks.

I think you need to let your head catch up with your body! your BMI is healthy, you're nearly at your goal weight, focus on the positives! When you're older you'll look back at photos of yourself now and wish you'd appreciated how great you looked instead of stressing about your appearance. Enjoy your success and enjoy…

Sounds like you're WAY better off without him, well done for not putting up with that!

If you go to "settings" you can change your privacy levels. (OK, so two others got in there first while I was posting!)

It's a good approach, it makes the whole process sustainable as a lifestyle not just a diet. I live in Italy - try NOT having a pizza at least once every weekend here! Planning exercise and other meals to make way for an evening at the pizzeria or Sunday lunch with the in-laws has been working for me. Congrats on a great…

Hi Gemmie, I started this after Easter (creme eggs! how I both love and despise you!) at 172lbs, as of today I'm just in the "healthy" BMI range at 153lbs. (I'm 5"6") That was my original goal but I'm amazed I can do this so I'm going to lose a few more. Charity skydive - OUCH! I've been doing the 30 day shred workout and…

You're not the only one, I'm with you Haley! I think we have a similar starting and goal weight too. I'm happy with my new found healthy BMI but don't want to lose any curves along the way! (can you hear my husband yelling "too right!" in the background?)

I'm on Day 8 Level 2 - I agree that it gets a little easier and the difference from the beginning is tangible. It still feels like a serious workout though and I'm slightly scared about Level 3, I don't dare peek! Good luck everyone!

"I also tend to mute it because I really find Jillian to be annoying" My post was a reply to this since everyone else had made useful suggestions about being unable to skip the intro. If my copy is illegal then amazon.co.uk have some questions to answer :)

In the menu of my copy there's an "Audio Options" part where you can choose to do the workouts with just the music - yap free! I'm halfway through Level 2 and tempted to use it but I'm not sure I'd know when to stop the exercises where I can't look at the TV the whole time - like all those plank things which make me go…

More than "the neck is not invited to this party"? Can't wait to move on to Level 2 to hear some more gems.... It is working though!

I tried this at the weekend (I saw your recipe the other day) and it was GREAT! Thanks!

Thanks for your replies, I feel more chilled now! I think I might just remove that setting, I don't like all the scary red numbers!

Thanks so much! This is genius! I live in Italy so all the ingredients are very comon here, unlike some other great sounding US based recipes. I really need a way to escape the endless pasta! My husband also likes it, even though it's not like "mamma used to make-a" !! Grazie!

I live in the north of Italy and the women here are sooooo small! When I go home to the UK I am "average", but here I feel like a heffer in comparison! So just looking around me makes me feel HUGE!
