Go you!!

What DVD do you use?

 

[Baby_Cakes]

I have a couple. Mafia swahlas I quite enjoy and a very old Natalie Cassidy one. I have a couple of davinas but I find the cool downs too long

 

[spursgem]

I loved the Natalie Cassidy workout out, although her voice grates a bit :giggle:

I like the Vicky Enthwistle one too

 

[Baby_Cakes]

It's definitely a killer for the 50 mins u do! Cocky ent whistle bored me a bit. All seemed to be shuffles

 

[LadyJo]

I never thought I'd ever say this but I really enjoy th gym. Good thing about exercise is it shows u how much u actually have to do to work off even just little treats and sometimes it's just not worth it!! 15 mins on cross trainer for a two finger kit Kat??!! No thanks!!!

 

[Baby_Cakes]

Vicky entwistle was a bit repetitive for my liking, too many shuffles. I liked Hannah watermans too!

 

[sarahmun]

I love billy blank tae bo as it really motivates you but the women are a bit annoying. Im dyung to try insanity or jillian micheals body revolutiin but its pointkess at mo when not fit enough lol x

 

[Baby_Cakes]

I'd love to try insanity, but I'm going to leave that until I am closer to goal. Plus it's so expensive!

Hi could I join you guys as well please I started my diet on Monday so that will br my weigh day I was 17st 10.5lb and I would like to get down to 11 stone. I am going to try and do it in small chunks as nearly 7 stone to lose seems to be so daunting. Looking forward to getting to know you all

 

[spudnik]

Hi kellie! Good luck with this week hun, i agree it can seem daunting to think of it as a whole figure, do you have any occasions coming up in the next few months like a birthday or holiday to set a little goal to? Im wanting to get to 13stone for my anniversary in July, breaking it down does help

 

[Kellie mum of 4]

Hi Sophie what are your losses like if you are losing weight I would say carry on doing what you are doing and only eat fewer calories when the losses slow down or stop but thats only my opinion. As for me no I have nothing coming up but I would just like to lose a couple of stone before it gets to warm as I am fed up of not having any nice summer clothes or being able to wear shorts as my body really needs to be hidden

 

[spursgem]

Really struggling tonight!!


I'm on 1630 calories, and burning around 600 calories a day at the gym, but I always eat half back - and on some days I have 2000!! I don't feel as if I'm on a diet (obviously its a lot lot less than what I usually eat or I wouldnt be this big!)

What do people reckon, should I reduce my cals, or say to never eat back exercise cals?

I just feel like Im not doing much!!

I have 1600 calories a day and aim to burn 200 - 300 a day exercising at home, I'm doing cardio and strength exercising. I personally don't eat the calories as i am trying to create a bigger deficit.

If you start to plateu or start struggling then look at reducing you calories. I started at 1800 and weight loss was ok but i have better results at 1600 x

 

[spursgem]

Hiya,

Right today I'm gunna try and not eat back my calories! And I think I'll take your advice, I'll wait until WI on Monday and then decide what to do

Thanks xx

Good luck. You can do this xxx

 

[spudnik]

I'm on 1500 a day and say if i'm hungry i will eat the cals back, though i don't seem to lose well on 1200 so if i burn 300 then i will always go for eating half at least back, however i always seem to be ravenous in an evening when i've worked out so i usually end up eating all of my cals back!

you guys tried Jillian Michaels 30 day shred? i got on day 2 of that but couldn't do anymore, mainly due to a problem with my back, but it makes you work and apparently the results are brilliant! would love to be able to do it one day but i have trouble doing much exercise because of my back, so i have to stick to things like my bike and using a gym ball to work out with, but its more than i was doing 2 weeks ago! I have got a wii so might give just dance or zumba another go, ive also got biggest loser for the wii i think i remember doing step aerobics on there which i loved so if my board is working i might have a go on that later!

have a good day everyone x
