  • Hi Cass I have the same problem. I am about 61 kg and would like to be 55. I've started doing body pump classes along with military boot camp classes and I must say although my body is changing (I can see it and others told me too) I hardly weigh less nowadays. With exercise your body turns the fat into muscle, which…

  • I would recommend leg exercises mainly (lunges, squats preferably with weights) The thigh-muscles are the biggest muscles in the body so by exercising them you'll get the maximum calorie-burn. My best friend is a body pump teacher and I go to her classes regularly. I used to be a size 12-14 (UK) now I am a light 10,…

  • Welcome - drinking mint tea does count towards your daily water intake. I usually make a large flask of hot water, put one herbal tea bag in it and squeeze in half a lemon and I am sipping that all day. Its a great way to make your water flavoursome and not boring!

When the truth is, these are just every day things we gotta do, walk to our car, cook a meal, walk from your office desk to the toilet, these count OUTSIDE our exercise regime, surely?!?! What…

  • Hiya I am from Ascot in the UK. I have the same problem. I am a female, 32, used to be 11st and I am now 9st 8lbs thanks to introducing healthier eating and exercise into my life a year ago. However, I seem to have a problem getting down from that to 8.5 stone which is where I want to be. I am only 5'3" so that would be…

  • I know I can add it myself and I know I can get a heart-rate monitor but it would be an easy option if they just add it so it's already on there. I know calorie-burn depend on your weight, the room temperature, your effort etc. They have some silly things on the list like Cooking which really is not an exercise, lol. I…
