Best use of a week to myself?
I am a working mum with 2 small kids. Over last few years I’ve used all my capacity trying to progress at work and juggling all the kids and house stuff. That’s meant my mental and physical health have been neglected. I am 20lbs overweight and often very down. I’m in the very lucky position of having a week to dedicate to…

My friend has just signed us up for my 1st 5k in June!

Stay at home parents
I’m current on maternity leave and am having a really hard time not snacking at home. I have a 3 yr old and a 6 month old and my partner is away all week so I’m always exhausted and basically grab any food I can throughout the day - usually craving sweet carbs and eating far too many calories by the end of the day. Any…

Beat chocolate cravings
I know that snacking, particularly on chocolate, is undermining all the efforts in putting in through exercise - in working out consistently and most of my meals are fairly healthy. So, any ideas please for low calorie chocolate / chocolate flavoured snacks? Ps I've tried other sweet things e.g. Jelly and I always send up…

Very slow weight loss if you've not much to loose?
OK so slight rant, possibly aimed at those who didn’t have a huge amount to loose to begin with. For the past year I have been counting calories and for the past 9 months or so have added exercise to my routine. I began at 137lbs (5ft 4) and have realised that I have taken a whole year to loose 10 stinking pounds! I DO…

Not very heavy ladies on the 30 day shred
Hi all, I was wondering what results people have seen from the 30DS if you start off fairly small. I'm currently 132lbs 5'4" and on day 3 of the shred. I'm mainly aiming to tone up but I suspect my weight loss will stop if I build muscle - which would be a real bummer considering how hard it 's been to shift ANYweight so…
