6 months now and next to no overall loss. :(
Hey there, As a teacher, I'm always willing to take advice, and I am a lifelong learner. I have been doing boot camp at school twice a week, and would usually go cycling on the third day.

My boyfriend is a bit apprehensive.
My boyfriend is supportive of us losing weight together, but he was riding to Uni 30km a day, and had a good eating menu, and only lost two kilos. He's about 93kg. So he's a bit reserved about getting his hopes up for 'getting buff' and losing weight with me. We've been eating well together, and walking, and doing aerobics…

So disheartened
I have 20kg to lose. My body doesn't seem to want to shift it. Nothing is moving that dial.

Tell me it gets better. Any hints and tips? I was…

What are some good Wii Console Fitness Games?
I will be having a Wii delivered within two weeks. I have bought Wii Fit and the balance board and also Wii Sports.

Push Up Help
Hi there, I am looking to start training to get in to the Australian Defence Forces. I was always skinny (60kg) at school, but got up to 80kg. Although I was skinny, I was never fit. I need to know how to do a proper push up (not the girly ones). I can lower about half way down, but if I go any lower I fall. Can anyone…
