Here's a bit of info about him and the diet, if you fancy researching it for yourselves: "We are privileged to welcome Mike Dolce author of the best selling ‘The Dolce Diet’…

Kettlercise
Hello! I am 25 years old, female, 5ft 5 and 11 stone. Could anybody give me a rough estimate of how many calories I might be burning in a 50-60 minute Kettlercise class, giving it all my OOMPH?! I know it's down to the individual, but if you have a HRM, how much are you burning?? I'd love to just have a bit of an idea!…

NSV overshadowed...
So earlier on I was going to write an NSV on here because myself and three colleagues went to get our BMI, blood pressure and body fat percentage measured at work today because we've had some people from the local gym come in and visit us. One of my colleagues said "I am concerned that I'm going to get this done with three…

Steps for healthy weight loss and keeping it off!
Just read the following and it made a lot of sense to me, so I thought I'd share! It's quite a lot to read, but well worth it! Steps for healthy weight loss, and keeping it off for good! 1) Weight loss = calories burned > calories consumed. 2) 3500 calories = 1lb fat 3) The recommended healthy amount of fat to lose =…

Slow cooker recipes

But I've left the planning a little bit late! Can anybody recommend any good slow cooker recipes?! Or maybe a good website where…

Mission LBD
Okay, so if you take a look at my profile picture, you will see exactly what I am talking about. This was a photo taken last night, in the dress that I wore for my 21st birthday. The photo doesn't necessarily do it justice, but let me tell you, this dress is GORGEOUS and I've only ever worn it once. I can't let that be the…

Google Yourself
How many people here have ever Googled their own name? As a journalism student when I was at uni, we were encouraged to do it on a regular basis as part of our Investigative Journalism unit. It's crazy how much you can find out about a person, just from Google. We even had to do a project where we picked a famous person…

HEY, EVERYBODY! LOOK!
I need some really FUN and not too messy ideas for fundraising in the office! So far, my favourite idea is getting everybody to bring in a baby photo and we play guess who. Now your turn...!

I strongly dislike...
...how you can't just reply to what looks like a normal forum post anymore! You read through everybody's posts then go to have your say but get told "you need to be a member of this group to post a reply"! But I don't want to be a member of every single forum post I read through! I think the groups are a great idea and I…

Strange question...
Ok, so I've never been one to drink enough. And I've never been a water drinker. Up until recent months, I could even go a whole day without realising that I hadn't had a single drink! But now I'm changing that. I'm certainly drinking more often and I'm beginning to notice when I've not had a drink, I actually feel…

So I just went to the loo...

30DS Level 2
I have been doing the 30 Day Shred for 5 days in a row now, as well as all my usual exercise (including some days of 2 exercise classes AND the shred). So far I don't seem to be aching too much and I haven't struggled with the workout at all, so I'm thinking of bumping it up to Level 2 already, after just 5 days of Level…

Body fat calculator
So I've been on Google trying to calculate my body fat percentage and every site I have been on has given me a different result, ranging from not bad at all to obese! What sites/calculators/formulas do people use? And can anybody shed some light on how I know what is accurate?! Thanks :-)

Anyone fancy joining me?
SO... My 30 Day Shred *should* be arriving in the post today. I have a few MFP friends who have said they'd like to start at the same time when mine arrives, but I wondered if there were any others out there who would like to join in the shredding fun as a way of keeping up everybody's motivation! If it arrives today, I…

30 Day Shred weights...
So, following on from my post yesterday about 30 Day Shred naivety, I have now ordered the DVD and can't "weight" for it to arrive! Because I will want to get started on it straight away, I want to be prepared. Can someone tell me what weights/equipment are involved so I know what I need to go out and buy, please? Thanks…

30 Day Shred naivety...
So, I know what the 30 Day Shred is and I've seen some AMAZING results on here from people who have done it...and I've been kinda jealous. I've always assumed that it's not available in the UK, blah, blah, blah... But I've just checked it out on Amazon and I can get it for really cheap! So my question is this...(coming…

I fear...
...that I may be approaching the dreaded plateau. And I really don't wanna do that! Now, I have approximately 12.5 pounds left to lose and I know that I naturally think "the faster, the better", but in all honesty, Christmas is my ultimate goal - which a think is very achievable if I put my mind to it! I currently have my…

Ever listen to a song without paying attention to the lyrics

Pink 'n' Whites
I was just banging my head on my desk at work because I was having a sweet craving (as I always do at around this time of day...), when a colleague of mine asked if I wanted to try a Caxton's "Pink 'n' White". They are FANTASTIC! Gorgeous marshmallow sandwiched between two wafers, a bloomin' good size and only 50 calories.…

Photos as requested...
I've had a few people ask me to post some progress pictures, so I've finally sorted it out. Unfortunately, as I am using my work computer, I can't get on Photobucket or Tinypic as those sites are blocked! So instead, I have posted them on my profile for you to feast your eyes on...
