Try counting while you breath.. so in 1,2,3,4 and out 1,2,3,4 ... find a way to regulate it and you'll be surprise. Also the HRM monitor is a great idea (that's how i started too). As for results, how many calories are you eating per day? if you under eat results may not be evidence, you need to eat to lose, but the right…

The cramp could be a change in breathing pattern. I often get cramps (as for some reason, i seem to hold me breath) ,... I find if a start a breathing pattern and concentrate that breathing pattern the cramps are not as frequent. Sign up for the 5K run, it doesn't matter how fit you are... it's a starting point, if you…

Could not agree more with the above. Unless you have experienced the tears, blood, heart ache and the joy of the weight loss journey you can not even start to think about what your clients are going through,. View this as a career opportunity, you'll be able to relate with the people you help in the future and your clients…

I knew enough was enough and that I needed to take control of my weight when I had to go the "larger ladies clothes" area at clothes shops ... i was only mid 20's and that was heart-breaking. Within saying that, it is also the best thing that ever happened, as now i have control of my weight, food and my life.

Feel free to add me. I know the struggles during this journey, I too had to lose weight for health issues.

i'll try it .... need to refocus ...

will be trying this.... thank you!!!

That Pizza sounds good, although I don't have access to a toaster oven at work!... will be trying it this weekend for lunch though.

That sounds yummy!!!

Good to see there are many of us in the same boat!! It's so hard to get back on the right track, but I know we can do it!!!

I'm in.. need motivation for these last few kilos! ...

You would be surprised on how your feelings will change once you enter the class. Within saying that though, I do 5 group sessions a week and 1 Personal training session, and in the group training sessions there are all different body shapes... BUT we often get newbies join us... the latest one was a slim young girl... who…

Hey, Australia here... add me if you would like :)

Hi there, Just had a quick look at your profile and noticed you were from the ACT, same here. I am so sorry to read about the difficulties you are facing. You have to make the best decision for yourself in these situations. I have seen the impact of depression and my heart feels for you, you are only young. I hope you take…

Agree, it does get easier.. As you get more into the journey, you'll start to change your life style and way of thinking about food. Don't stress, it's all about learning and understanding .... a good idea is to check out other peoples food diaries for ideas.

Interesting I read this tonight. This was actually the decision in my workplace today (I work on a floor with males, only 2 females occupy the whole floor)... The end result was that most of the males on the floor didn't like Skinny women.... it was noted that those women who lose weight but do no toning just look…

Wine and chocolate.... Although, it has gotten a little (and i do mean a little) easier over time staying away from these.

Hi MakeItHappen (awesome name) Congratulations on your 15th day streak! that's an awesome effort!!!! Please do add me as a friend.... i agree, they can not stay on forever (well I hope not anyways) .... It'll be great to have your support...

Hi ejhayes I do a lot of different training, it's more the past few weeks there has been a lot of functions on in life and i've been a little more relaxed with my diet.... Thanks for your advice, I am going to start to listen to upbeat music in the afternoon whens the chocolates start to calll my name... Great to have your…

Hi I just had back surgery, but exercised right up to 2 days before surgery. Speak to your dor before starting anything strenous, but I found anything that wasn't land impating caused no pain. Water aerobics was great too.

Good luck.... I had to give up wine... Well reduce intake. It does get easier... If you wish to add me for support, please feel free to do so.

Hey, totally understand what you are going through. I have just returned to exercise after numerous months off injured and then further 2 due to surgery. Getting back the motivation takes a LONG time... but if you keep making yourself do something you'll start to get into that new routine and it does get easier.

WELCOME!!! P.s. ... i know it's freezing... apparently snow on ranges..

Thank you Mandy ... here is hoping... I'm in the ACT....
