Holiday in 8 Weeks!
I go on my holiday in 8 weeks from now, and therefore have 8 weeks to do something about my body. I intend to start on Insanity tonight (again). I've only ever completed it once, this was back in 2013 and at the end I looked the best I've ever looked and felt the best I'd ever felt. Since then, it's gone downhill…

Home Exercises
Hi all, Apologies if this has been done to death in the past, however - can anyone recommend any exercises to do at home, with little or no equipment? With work and family life (kids are at some activity or other nearly every night) - can anyone recommend a good workout plan for home, short and sweet. say 30-40 minutes…

Depression = Lack of motivation
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same slippery slope as I am. I have previously lost 29lbs, but gradually put it back on. I've known there's been something wrong for some time but I finally built up the courage to go and speak with my doctor just over a month ago and he diagnosed me with depression. I have been…

Measuring Up
This may sound silly - but how and where do you measure yourself to get an accurate waist measurement? I'm in 34" waist trousers, however when I try to measure my waist I get anywhere from 38-40" - which doesn't make sense. And that's around the waistband of my trousers, well, where they would be if they were on of course.…

Fitness Hobby Needed
Hi all, I'm looking to start a new hobby of some kind which will also act as further exercise. I love playing squash, however the only courts in travelling distance from my home are always fully booked up, so unfortunately that's looking like a no-go. I've been contemplating some form of martial arts, such as karate,…

Best exercise for 'moobs'
Hi all, I lead a busy life both at work and home and there isn't often too much time available to visit the gym. I have lost some weight and although not exactly where I want to be (so there's more fat to be lost) I can't seem to shift the moobs. They have decreased, no doubt about it but what home exercises can anyone…

30 Days Abs - iPhone app
Hi all, I have downloaded a 30-day abs app on my phone, just wondered if anyone had used anything similar to this in the past and if they had seen any results?

Small but satisfying....
Clear your dirty minds... I'm talking about my weight loss over the space of 6 months. It's a relatively small loss in comparison to many others on here who have done brilliantly! But the 33lb drop has been for me has been fantastic and has given me a massive boost! Plan for January is to concentrate on fitness again -…

Insanity - not ready for Month 2
Hi all, Just wanted some advice off anyone who's completed the Insanity workout programme. I've done really well for the first 5 months, but moving onto month 2 is an absolute killer! I'm tempted to go back and start Month 1 again, and hope that by the time Month 2 comes round I'll be in a better position. I'm disappointed…

Group Insanity Workshop - Does it work?
So... I've read lots and lots about Insanity. I've seen lots of inspiration before and after photos and I am determined to do it. I'm thinking of setting up a group workshop, there'd be about 6 of us doing Insanity together, but I keep wondering if it would realistically work or if it's better to do Insanity alone. I have…

Friday Sh!ts and Giggles Day
As it's Friday... a few jokes to get everyone in the weekend mood! Feel free to add plenty more :) 'There's two fish in a tank, and one says to the other "How do you drive this thing?" Doc, I can't stop singing the 'Green Green Grass of Home'. He said: 'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome'. 'Is it common?'I asked. 'It's…

Can you count 'bedroom time' as exercise....?
Half serious / half not question here... But I was wondering, I've heard / read many times that it's one of the best forms of exercise, but can it be added as a form of exercise on MFP? Obviously, there are lots of potential variants, but I was just curious...

Not reaching my calorie goal...
Hi all, Just a quick question and hoping for some advice. I have been logging my food intake, but as I'm doing both MFP and Slimming World I have changed the way that I eat. I'll be honest, I'm enjoying it! I'm enjoying fresh food, lots of egg noodles with veg and lean meat etc etc. I've also cut out fizzy pop (soda, for…

M ( . Y . ) B's
Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions for the best exercises to get rid of moobs? They're not massive, but still want them shut of and toning up. I'm a member of a gym so pretty much have access to any type of machinery. Thanks!
