I'm back too after losing about 4.5st...& then putting most of it back on booo! I dnt do WW but eat alot of the meals :o) Tiff

Lovely :o) Hope you've ordered it! i'm March 2nd & recently found out its too late to order most dresses! I'm going for tea-length lace with a 60's feel...

Hi, try http://www.zumbacalories.com/ Its not bad, i just tested it against my zumba cals burnt this morn & it was only about 30 cals out. I was using mfp for estimating cals burned for almost a yr before buying a heart rate monitor & turned out i had been underestimating. My HRM is one of the best things i've ever bought.…

Bump! I really need some high protein ideas too :o)

U can rent alot of decent dvds from the library for £2 & they even do some exercise ones too. Recently i've enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes & also Arthur or Get him to the Greek are both FUNNY films. The last one u cld defo buy for under a fiver. For workout i wld recommend any Davina (u mite've done them tho) I do…

Lol I love my equipment, wish I had more room to put more stuff. I have quite a few DVDs & wii games inc Zumba2 & personal trainer, elliptical trainer, 2 sets weights, twister, mat, trampette, Swiss balls, bands errm, I really want sandbag & dip station too but I do workout at home mostly...Anyone else workout at home?

Fab figure. I'd kill for those boobs!

Hey mfps. I love Bodyrock & want to start the 30 day challenge but haven't got an interval trainer, equalizer (dipping station) or a sandbag. I cld use my dumbells in place of the sandbag & phone for interval timer (or maybe buy one) but HOW can u replace the equalizer?? Wot do u use instead? I wld think about getting one…

Thanx for that. Anyone else got an opinion?

Got some Puma ystdy. They were on sale for £18. Just tested them with some circuit training dvds & they are so flexible & grippy, complete opposite to my Nike runners. I'm pleased :o) Thank u so much for ur help x

*BUMP*

I just started with protein powder & had the same thing, orrible! It was bad mixed with milk & even worse with just water. Today i added a tiny bit of golden syrup to the powder & half as much milk & it was really nice. Has anyone got any better alternatives?

TY, i just didn't realise duhh! Now i cld just do with some ideas to jazz it up....Anyone? :o)

I'm so confused BUMP!

Thanx for that. This is my problem area (that & the tum). I'm working hard to tone them up. I have lost as much weight as i want but am left with these flabby areas. It's weird how fat loss is not equal all over - my top half is skinny, i just need to get everything to match up, easier said than done!

Hello gang :o) Thats what im doin increase cals 100 at a time. I'm only just getting over the scariness of it after eating so few cals for months all of a sudden i'm not focusing on the cals so much as the protein at the min. Did anyone else sind it a bit scary at first?

Me too, i am clueless & a rubbish cook to boot. I do not exagerate :o)

Does it sound like it's doubling up for some reason?? I did 9.3k in 25 mins = that would be 4.65k!

Thank u so much for clearing that up for me! Bit annoying, i did get the trainer off ebay. Oh well, it does the job still just wld be nice 2 know what i'm doing! cheers again x

I forgot to say - i reckon i go at a moderate-fast pace. At 20kph mod & 25kph fairly fast. Does this sounds right?? I have nothing to go on bcos i dnt go 2 the gym only train at home. Hellp!

Sorry, 9.2k in 25 mins!

Thanx! I had a couple voddy diet cokes last nite & no guilt :o))

It's not painful but its not nice is it guys?! Thanx so much for the info Diamond x I also have started takin omega 3 tabs whether it will help or not i do need supplements. I've noticed when i exercise the joints more & workouts that put pressure on my knees, it gets worse. I really try 2 keep good posture & do it right,…

TY! I have started doing some squats n other exercises so hopefully will make a diff...eventually lol. and thanx i will look at the link in a min ta x

Thats what i did too. Can only see how it goes. I'ive lost over 3 stone in about 3 mnths like this with the help of mfp. I feel ok & i'm sure it can't be as high sodium intake as before (all those crisps etc cldn't have been good lol). Good luck x

Love this! Any more?? It's gr8 2 hear about uk foods bcos alot of the stuff mentioned on here we dnt get over here :o( (alot of it i wish they did tho!)

BUMP! Hi Ava, I eat alot of Weight Watchers stuff, nearly every dinnertime i have WW ready meals for the same reason as u :o/ I wld like 2 know ppls experiences too!

Hi, My eliptical trainer has got a heartrate monitor where u have to put ur hands on metal pads & it works out calories burned - prob is after 2 mins my hands are sweaty & it doesn't pick it up properly! So i use this website to calculate how many cals - i really rate it: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

I love WW food & its really working for me. Most dinners are WW meal & salad/veg & WW dessert. I love the WW yoghurts at lunch too with soup or sandwich. I do use sweetners in my tea too which have enabled me to not add sugar anymore (luckily as i used to have 4 heaped tsp, i kno yuck eh!). I wish i cld cook for me & the…
