Has anyone got any recommendations for a dvd I could purchase and what weights I should purchase to start on.

Can I manually change my MFP calorie goal?
I have entered all the relevent details and labelled my lifestyle as sedentry - which it is, I sit at a desk all day.

Cramp

To exercise or not when feeling unwell?
I started this exercise malarky three weeks ago and I am loving every minute of it :heart: :happy: So much so that yesterday was a rest day and I was restless as anything and really missed doing a class - so unlike me whose b*m has been firmly planted on the sofa for the last three years! I have been advised by the gym I…

Can someone please tell me why...
I started a new exercise and healthy eating regime last week and I only lost 1lb - doesn't seem much reward for the effort I put in! Starting with Sunday 7th April I did a step class, followed by spinning on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I felt that four classes in my first week after having done no exercise for over two…
