  • Jillian's 30DS was where I started way back when and, since I fell off the fitness bus, where I have started again! I completed a 7 week run of 30DS not long ago and I am now doing Jillian's Body Revolution and have Jillian's Body Shred lined up after that. If you have the will power and drive to train at home plus a…
  • I'm doing P90X so it's 6 days per week for me. Each day is a tough workout but it focuses on differnet areas or different exercises styles. I would say listen to your body. If you can do more then do it, if you need a break then take one. Just be honest with yourself! I was a proper dunce when it came to what I should be…
  • I have had issues with not losing weight since I started P90X. I can see a physical difference in myself but the scales have stayed the same for almost a month. Don't lose heart! If you are working out regularly then you are building muscle and your body shape will be changing entirely. I was a bit disappointed with not…
  • Always in trainers except for my yoga workouts. I fear I'll damage myself with the high impact I do particularly as any weight you carry will impact your joints greatly. I'd rather not run the risk of severely damaging myself when just wearing trainers provides me with comfortable support. Plus the resistance of carpet on…
  • The first few days are the toughest but you'll noticie your fitness levels going up fast. Before the end of the 10 days you'll be ready for the next level. I loved it and it kicked off the fitness bug for me. I lost about 5lbs in total, the inches dropped off and I ended up with a changed body. I'm doing P90X now. Good…
  • I went cold turkey over 7 years ago and never looked back. I was absolutely sick of the smell, taste, expense and the fact that I almost coughed up a lung every morning. One day I threw down a ciggie halfway through and decided that was it. All the while I lived at home with an entire family who smoked and had a boyfriend…
  • Started level 3 of the 30 Day Shred today and I think so far I've lost 4-5lbs. I can see a HUGE difference in inches though which makes me is making me a feel a bit fantastic! Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much I am! :happy:
  • After only 15 days of the 30 Day Shred I'm running up and down the stars at work when walking use to leave me out of puff. The dress I have bought for my brother's graduation has gone from looking completely unflattering to fitting me beautifully. I still have 9 more days of 'shreding' before the event too!
  • Well done! Only after close scrutiny could I see a little extra weight on your face but you still looked great in the first pic! :happy:
  • Wow! You look fabulous! I'm a tad inspired as I'm the same height and wasn't sure what would be a healthy weight for me. I know I can aim lower than I was. :happy: Also, thanks for the link to Bodyrock. I will be using and abusing that site!
  • It takes the mind a little longer to catch up with the body when it comes to weight loss. (Well I've found rebuilding self esteem is certainly a much greater task than losing weight.) I think we all have days when we feel like we're back at the start but you just have to keep reminding yourself of what you have achieved.…
  • I'm 9 days in now and LOVE it! I do like Jillian Michaels a lot too though so I think that helps. I can already see the difference and as I can feel my fitness level rising I realise I'm almost doubling the amount of exercise the girls on the DVD are doing. (A clever tactic with a faster music beat methinks). It really is…
  • I loved this post and I love your positive approach despite the fact that you are in a less fortunate position than most. Good luck with your own weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. It's always good to remember that. :tongue:
  • Well done you! :happy:
  • Thank you very much! I am noticing there is a lot of support here which is great. :happy:
