Wow, I used to do the billy blanks tae bo dvd, then I got really into the gym instead, but a 45 min gym session only burns about 400 calories (i don't count calories from toning equipment) might have to get back into the tae bo!

Firstly 4 days isn't very long, you need to give it time if you want to keep it off. Weight yourself once a week at the same time of day, for example I always weigh myself on a Sunday at the gym as soon as I get there. Sometime the results can seem a little odd, but that depends on whether I went out the night before. I…

I use sauces to make things more interesting, you can get loads of low fat ones, or if you have the time (which I dont) you can make them yourself! For example, the other day I had a skinless chicken fillet on a bed of courgettes, peppers, mushrooms etc (you can use more exotic veg), but mixed all of the veg in with a Asda…

I'm always worried about doing press ups because I really don't want to bulk up. I defo have the bingo wing problem, and I seriously lack upper arm strength so I find doing too many weights hard (my weights I mean 1 or 2kg) :( I think I'll just have to keep trying in little sets! x

Oh congrats on the weight loss so far! I found that, I lost over a stone leading up to March, then it got hard and I started to slack and put it on again, hence why I joined this! Are you measuring youself? If you are working out you'll be building muscle, which is heavier than fat, so your weight will stay the same! If…
