Apologies for no replies! So I'd like to lose about 8 pounds. I've been stuck around this weight for the past 9 months! I've just returned from a 2 month holiday...lots of eating out but luckily not too much weight gain. My fitness suffered a little though. Since coming back 2 weeks ago, I've been back to the gym. Today…

i'm in!

AC/DC!

Sydney :)

Wow that is awesome! Here's mine most of the time: Mon - rest day Tue - 60 min boxing class Wed - 60 min boxing class or 30 min weights Thurs - 60 min boxing class Fri - 45 min boxing class Sat - Zumba, core work or weights Sun - 60 min boxing class It's not the same every week...I find that if I have a very intense boxing…

Hi, I'm from Sydney and I love boxing! I first started boxing with my trainer and then joined a boxing gym a couple of years ago. I learnt a lot about technique there. Stinkiest gym ever but it was fantastic! :) Since then I have moved onto outdoor boxing classes / boxing classes at the gym and most recently running. I…

Today, I tried a Freeform class. Felt it right in the abs! Takes a while to get used to the board! Lots of fun - crazy instructor! Check the video out on http://freeformboard.com/ We did some basic moves and a few advanced ones. It's a new class at the gym so everyone's new to it. Will definitely go back next week! The…

It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Just bad luck with injuries, sickness etc!! Glad the weight is staying stable but today I will start getting back into it. Boxing tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. Makes a big difference to my upper body. Amazing cardio workout!! Unfortunately I can't run for a month or so (hip injury…

I'm a bit late but would like to join! :)

I'm in the same boat! 2 pounds to lose. Been hovering around the same weight for a month. I am letting myself go a little with food (but not by much though!) I am training harder now too. I am persisting...trying new exercises. Keeping carbs down. Slowly slowly...

WOW!!

The clothes I didn't think I'd ever fit into again, fit again or are too big!!! 3 months ago, I couldn't run down the street without stopping. Now, I can now run 5km straight!!

Hi! I've recently started running! I couldn't run down the street 3 months ago but last month completed my first fun run...14kms! I've started doing 5km night runs once a week and next weekend will attempt my second fun run 9kms. I'm not overly fast but my main aim is to finish each run without stopping. I'm really…

Argh...that's my issue too!! Can't stay away for too long. Will try and limit it but don't know if I can cut it all out!!

Starting weight - 57kgs/125.66lbs Bring on September!!!

Guilty too! Haha!

Definitely no make-up or even jewellery. Hair in a plain ponytail. I do however LOVE workout gear!!! Love love my Lululemon stuff. Sweat wicking stuff makes it so much easier to move and stay cool.

That is awesome Maggie!! Keep it up! Just gotta keep moving whether it's running, walking...sometimes when I'm feeling a bit tired I just browse the shops for a couple of hours even. Still counts as moving and get to check out what's on sale ;-)

Thank you Maggie! :) I find my weight will go up and down for a week or two until is stabilises. I'm sure your loss is only temporary. Bring on week 3!

YES! It is a lot of fun!!!! There are lots of instructors/classes all over the world... Try this - http://www.zumba.com/en-US/parties/search I have tried out at least 10 different instructors. They all have different styles- latin dancing, aerobic, hip hop, etc. I have done Nathan Blake's class...he was the BEST!…

Thanks Maggie!! Eating healthier food has definitely made a difference. Also portion size. Question for all...eating back calories. Do you do it?

Had a good couple of days with boot camp and walks and seeing results measurement-wise! I wore a dress last night that I had never been able to wear. Still had the tags on it! One size smaller!! I am getting a cold again though!!!! I hope it's just a day thing!! Will need to drink more fluids and stay warm. I have a 14km…

4.6 loss!!! That is brilliant!!! :)
