Bunion surgery. Who's had it?
So I'm being referred by the doctors to go for a consultation about my painful bunion on my foot. I may or may not need surgery but my doctor thinks I most likely will.

Not only did it keep doing that but it kept cutting out completely :'( Anyone else had…

Need a strength/fat burning at home routine
Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has a routine/dvd/anything that will help target fat loss, help lose inches and build up my strength at home? I want to tone up desperately. I'm 3lb away from my pre-pregnancy weight and look nothing like I used too....not even close!

Hey so I'm on the lower side of 150lbs maybe less and started Insanity 10 days ago.

Bit of a rant!
I am incredibly pissed off with myself! 2 weeks before Christmas I'd got down from 157 - 146 in 3 months!!! ..........And put it all back on within 3 weeks and it is NOT shifting! I am so angry with myself! It is just like when I was pregnant I thought f**k it I'll eat what I want as much as I want and worry about it later…

Womens Insanity results who are 140lbs+
So trying to be patient and look through older topics I've failed because all I really saw were women who started at (what I would call) low weights and just lost inches and toned up. I'm interested to hear from and even see result pictures from women who did this at 140lbs+ :smile:

HRM Polar FT4....To buy or not to buy
That is my question!! I can get it for £53 BUT I'm wondering if its going to be worth it? Everyone who I've noticed has one LOOOOVES it. I'm not made of money so £53 is a LOT to me, especially when its spent on myself and not on my family. Can I have some pro's and con's? I'm pretty much only going to be using it at home…

Rapid weight gain
Hi, well today was my weigh in day and even though I have been TERRIBLE this past week and barely logged and exercised I still weighed like an idiot and in 2 weeks (with 1 bad week) I have gone from 10.6 to 10.13! Major de motivator! Now I know most will probably (hopefully) be water retention? But I'm not sure. How can I…

Help please. What should I log this as...
I just did Bob Harper's Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation and I don't know if to log it as circuit training or not..... Also while I'm here if I was to do his Pure Burn Strength should I assume to log it as strength (probably a REALLY dumb question that one ha)

Ladies - Measuring yourself....
I'm confused as when I get measured at a store I have my bra on, but I did it before with my bra off and there's an inch difference between me having it on and off. So, do you measure with or without your bra and which is more acurate? :)

Cleaning. Do you or don't you log it and why?
Hey, I just thought I'd ask the question, for no particular reason to be honest other that curiosity :) I personally don't log it as I clean throughout the whole day picking up after me and the little one, washing the pots just after they've been used etc so I don't see the point in logging it :) The only time I do clean…
