I don't have anything original to say but I was just SO impressed by your story and the progress you have made, both physically and mentally, and I had to comment :smile: I really admire the courage you had to start on this "trip" . I wish you all the very best in the coming months and look forward to hearing about your…

I started today. I wasn't planning on doing it every day (probably just 3 times a week), because I also want to continue Powerplate and my other weight training, but I'd like to join the group and compare notes. I don't have my measurements yet but will do that at the weekend so that I can check on progress. Good luck to…

Hi, I've been doing Power Plates for several months now and I totally agree with your point about the good trainer. With the trainer you don't just stand on a vibrating plate, you do a variety of strength training exercises that, I find, are intensified by the vibrations. I'm sure that my strength has improved with this…

Hi, I used the Kettleworx DVDs for a while and they're pretty good but I found it a bit irritating that the exercise programmes always seem to be a "cut and paste" job, just using the same clips of each exercise but in a different order. Now I also have a Kettlercise for Women DVD and I find that even better. The…

Hello, I bought a Leslie Sansone DVD last month and love using it. I'm a bit late joining but I would like to try for 60 miles.

Hi, I'd like to join again this month. Started badly but hope to catch up today. 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 4: ???

I'm struggling I'm afraid - just too much going on this month. But I'm in tonight, so I'll try to put in a few miles with Leslie Sansome.

Total up to Sunday 11 Decembe'r 23 miles. Only 52 miles to go!

I add dried apricots and cinnamon and sometimes a mix of ground flaxseed and cocoa.

1/12:20 2/12: 0 3/12: 70 4/12: 0

I didn't quite make the 7.5 target for yesterday but I did 7.

I'm in again for December. Try to beat my record ... but there might be a few lazy days over Christmas (when I'll probably need it most!)

I managed 1207 in the end. This was a great idea and I shall continue in December - maybe I can beat my record. Thanks for suggesting this!

Yes, I'm in. it sounds like a challenge but I've just received my first Leslie Sansom DVD and I also power walk a couple of times a week so I ought to be able to do it. And it'll be a great preparation for the excesses of Christmas!

I'm up to 977 so I think I'll make it.

Well, I got a bit behind - had a lazy/sick week last week. But I'm up to 6150 swings and 3095 twists (trying to 50 per day).

Hi again, I'm up to 836 minutes now.

So, today I passed the 5000 mark !!! Almost halfway there.

360 minutes yesterday - 33km walk! This should let me off doing much today.

Another 40 mins today, so total of 234 so far.

Hi, Seems like a great challenge, I'd like to join too. So far I've done 194 minutes but still have to do some today. I'll see what I can do about adding a ticker. Tuesday 1 : 20 Wednesday 2: 134 Thursday 3: 40

I don't have shape ups but I do have a pair of MBTs. I can't really say if wearing them toned my legs all that much and I don't really believe the weight loss claims of this type of shoe but I do love wearing them to power-walk. I find that they help you to move along at a faster pace, pushing you forward as you roll…

After almost a week off I've only just about caught up with the schedule. I'm at 3040 swings - almost a third of the way there! But I'll have a bad week next week because I'm away again for work. Maybe they'll have kettlebells in the hotel gym...

You probably have a much heavier kettlebell than me.

Hi, I'm coming up to 2000 but I've been doing extra to make up for a few days this month when I'll be away and won't be able to do any. One nice thing is that it's getting easier. At first I couldn't do more than 50 at a time but one day this week I managed to do the whole 100! By Christmas it'll be a walk in the park :-)

So, I've done a few days now and it's early days but I'm still going! I'm trying to do 130 a day for the moment because I shall be away a couple of times in October and I'm trying to get ahead of myself now to make up for that. I also do 50 twists, which I hope will help trim my waist (medical check-up in October and I…

I'll give it a go!
