I've made a decision
Hi Guys, I hope you don't feel let down by this post or my decision, but think of it as me trialling something for you guys and we can all hopefully learn something. I've been reviewing some of my therapeutic exercise books, because of my issues with upper body strength, and I feel even more sure now, that doing the shred…
Anybody want to join the current 30 DS support group?
Just to let anybody starting out on it know, there is a support group, it's a little bit quiet in there at the moment so join!!!!!!! I have just finished Level 2 and am nearly dead. There are people in the group doing the workout every day, there are others doing it alternate days and some doing other workouts on the off…
Support from friends.......
Hi guys, When I first came on MFP I thought it was odd how many people seemed to have strict criteria on who they would accept as friends, and if a certain friend wasn't helping them or whatever, they would delete them. I saw a few threads about this when I first started using the site again a few weeks ago. Anyway, I've…
Jillian Michaels Yoga
I've found a 60 minute video on youtube which I was thinking of trying on my rest days. Anybody done the Jillian Michaels one before?
Any tallish girls with transformation pics
I'm 5.9/5.10 (depending on who measures me). I use 5.9 for bmi and body fat figures just to be on the safe side. I presently weigh 13st2lbs, but have weighed as much as 14st7lbs in the past. My body fat worked out on an online calculator came out at 37! But I do think that's a bit of an overestimation because I carry all…
Anyone doing extra exercise as well as 30DS
And if so what are you doing and how are you finding it? I'm on week 2 of a 5k training plan so running every other day, 30DS every day (except Sunday), and also doing some walking and horse riding, and some weight training. I'm starting to feel tired now and today has been a difficult one, more mentally than physically…
Any horsey girls?
Or boys of course. I was just wondering how many of us have horses and whether our goals are linked to them in anyway. I have two horses, a 15hh Welsh Section D called Sherbert and a 15.3hh Arab x PRE called Rocky. I ride Rocky more and my husband rides Sherb. I don't do much with them apart from lots of hacking. I try to…
30 Day Shred - On Day 3
Hi Guys, I'm currently on day 3 of level one, and just wanted to say for anyone thinking of doing it, or who tried it once and felt it was too hard, it's getting a lot easier already! The first day it kicked my *kitten* big time, today, ok it still kicked my *kitten*, but I felt a bit more like I have started to get a…
No weight lost - just a bit of advice or support please...
Hi guys, Having dieted in the past, using a site very similar to MFP, I expected this time to be similar, in fact better. Last time I dieted I set the calories to lose 1lb per week. I set it to sedentary and then added things such as mucking out my horses and riding, and walking the dogs. I also ran three times per week on…
how come I don't get my friends' status in my profile?
Should I get my friends' updates when I go into my profile. Not sure if my particular friends don't really update or if I've got the settings wrong? Any help?
Body Fat Percentage Calculators
Hi there, I used a calculator the other day that somebody put up on the forums. It used a waist, hip and neck measurement. I came out at 37% which I was shocked by. I'm very apple shaped, so my waist measurement is a couple of dress sizes above the rest of me. So, I tried another calculator that took wrist and forearm…
Green Tea?
Probably been a million threads about this in the past. I really don't like the taste of it, but have looked up the benefits and found there's actually some really reliable evidence to show that it helps reduce cholesterol, increase fat oxidation without an increase in heart rate (so metabolism I think) and some other cool…
Fat Burning Around Your Waist
Hi, I've just started dieting again, have about 39lbs out of 45lbs left to lose. I am very apple shaped, so my waist is 2 dress sizes above my hips. I used to run and have just started again using an interval training plan, so that will help with my weight loss, along with lots of walking that I do and activities with my…
Hi there!
Hi all, my name is Cheryl, I'm from Bolton England and have joined as I want to get my weight down now that I am studying to be a physiotherapist. I'm not sure what field I want to specialise in yet, but just doing activities at uni with loads of really sporty kids has made me want to be better myself. I have two horses…
