Kettlebells will build your body strength up, a strong body will burn lots of calories! I do 3 different classes a week, this includes kettlebells, boxing and spin but honestly what I eat mainly determines my weight loss! When your body gets stronger that's when you'll notice the loss. you tend...

Kettlebells!!! 30mins intense workout! I love it!!! The best thing is a 20 minute workout burns the same amount of calories as running a 6 mile a minute pace!! 13.6 calories/minute aerobically and 6.6 calories/minute anaerobically! This is awesome!! I am going to hurt tomorrow but that means...

This weekend has been the worst weekend for me and eating :-/ I think I've put on 2lb as well :eek: anyone got any advice on how I can redeem myself and hopefully get a loss on Thursday? Thanks :)

I think you need to make sure you are getting plenty of protein and drinking plenty of water, if you don't eat properly but go to thr gym your body goes into survival mode! You won't lose weight! Make sure your diet is spot on then the excercise will compliment this! Remember when you diet 80%...

Thank you very much :)

I have just been to frankie and bents with a friend for dinner, I had chicken carbonara and cheeses garlic bread.... I'm only in my first week of sw and already I've messed up! Arrrrrgh!!!! It was pure greediness to, I always have that dinner.... :(

I was just wondering what everyone has as a snack after the gym? I tend to eat my dinner around 4.30pm and then go to gym /class at 7pm or later. I'm always starving when I get home, fruit just does nothing at this point or me. anyone got any suggestions?

It's delicious and filling!

Cooking competition in work.... Hi Does anyone have a nice easy recipe that I can use to take into work. We have a cooking competition and I'd like to enter something healthy and preferably veggie! It also has to be ok to eat cold thanks

I was going to mention the slow cooker, it'd be great to make yourself a stew, that you can freeze, bologna she, chilli. Make a large batch of a Ragu sauce, separate into portions for each meal then you can have bolognaise one night, add some chilli powder and kidney beans another night for a...

Hi Does anyone have a nice easy recipe that I can use to take into work. We have a cooking competition and I'd like to enter something healthy and preferably veggie! It also has to be ok to eat cold :) thanks

Thanks for the advise everyone :)

Yeah I like to weigh every morning just to make sure it's not going back on, I weigh the same time etc which means my weight shouldnt be too different

I have just stopped meal replacements and joined slimming world on Thursday, it seems since Thursday I have been losing 1lb a day... Is this the slimming world diet or is it still the meal replacements?? It's confusing me :-/

I've been suffering with my shins to the side too :-/ I'm hoping the more I get used to it the better!

I think I need to keep an eye on the carbs situation, think I will stick to one portion a day or now and see how I go!

I gave up on meal replacements :-/ doing slimming world now, hopefully this will work for me.

I can't get over the pasta, potato and ice thing, you can eat as much as you like! For me who has done weight watchers, celeb slim and another meal replacement, that's just mad! But day 1 of week 1 here we go!

Will do :) thanks

I am so glad I went to class tonight! Can't wait to read everything properly and start again! And the bet thing is I won the raffle!! I got a bag of Maris piper potatoes, fry light, paprika and a cooking mesh.. I'll be having sw chips tomorrow night! :)

I have my birthday on June 8th,I want to have lost 3stone by then:) oh and a couple of days later I'm going to see bonjovi :) plenty of gigs

Well in that case I highly recommend my fitness pal, help you track everything. Worth looking at :)

Nike run is good :)

Thank you so much for all the advice! Really appreciated :)

Have you tried joing a slimming club. Biggest loser online is very good x

Hi all im currently on meal replacements, I've never been so hungry in my life and its bothering me now! Plus the weight loss hasn't been so great because I find it so hard to stick to. So tonight I'm going to a slimming world meeting..... I'm so nervous! Can anyone tell me what to expect...

I've had my blood pressure checked a few times in the past month. All ok :-/ had an ECG done in docs on Monday they want to chat with me about it :-/ oh dear..

Oh I'm the same with custard creams! Tomorrows a new day, try again then :) lol

I'm taking mine 7lb at a time, I've set myself a monthly time frame for it. Maybe see how your first weigh in goes and go from there :) remember to be realistic :)

Try using my fitness pal, that's great for keeping track of your food as well as cardio and strength exercises :) good luck :)

Welcome :-) you'll find lots of support here :) definatly set yourself some mini goals, makes this journey slightly easier :)

I have the Nike run app, you have to be strict with yourself todo the running. I'm sure you can get the nhs c25k in written form on the website, you just have to remember what to do :)

I used to be disappointed with my weight losses until I had bad weeks and realised how hard I had to work to get those lbs off. One thing I did start doing was whilst out walking I'd have a backpack with tins in equal to my weight loss and add to it or take it out depending on weekly results...

Hi :) welcome to the forums! It's great here, lots of support and inspirational people :) i know how you feel about the gym, what you have to remember is that when dieting 80% is down to your diet and 20% exercise. So basically going to the gym will only work with weight loss if your diet is...

I am also on AD's only since last year, but i managed to lose 1st7lb whilst on them! Im sure you'll be fine! Good luck!

Hello! I'm also from South Wales! Welcome to the forum! You'll find loads of support and advice on here! I agree with the post above emphasise the weight gain to your dr, they can refer you to weight loss clubs as well as the gym :)

I love my fitness pal

I know how you feel about having the pee taken out of you, my work mates post pics on my Facebook page if I'm not in I get McDonald's pics or stuff like that posted. They tease me with biscuits and chocolates. Sometimes I do give in, but in a way they're doing me favour because I'm too...

I'm following a plan from my dietician, the meal replacements are ones that she's formulated, I no longer take my multi-vitamins i case of overdosing on certain ones whilst I'm on there shakes. I drink loads of water, I'm not convinced its my diet, I feel fine normally, not starving, no...

Hi i am on a meal replacement plan, and lately have been having dizzy spells that knocked me for 6 for a couple of days. I'm not convinced that its the low cal diet doing this to me... Any got any suggestions/advise?

Oops pencoed :)

I'm a welshie :)

I'm in pencoed area :)

I've been on the treadmill overbthevweekend, haven't actually followed the couch to 5k yet, ive been doing speed intervals x

I'm in Bridgend area too :)

Its in June in Cardiff :) I'm doing it with the girls from work, both super fit runners! Lol! Oh dear lol

I would definitely say to up the exercise, keep a diary of what you eat and drink every day using my fitness pal, make sure you mark everything down so that you can see your actual da ily intake :)

When I wasn't on meal replacements, I took a salad which consisted of a portion of brown pasta( only carb for the day) it kept me very satisfied and you can have tuna one day, chicken another, ham, or just a bit of cheese. :)

Well I'm going to follow what the instructor has told me to do, just to build my fitness up a bit more, then hopefully I won't be so self conscious about going out running, I need to do it, before I do the 5k! I do enjoy what I can do on the treadmill, so hopefully being out will be 10 times better!

I'm on a 2 meal replacement diet, I had been doing real well! I lost 3lb in 4 days, I've weighed this morning and I'm back to square 1! I've put the 3lb back on!! I had the girls around last night and made a load of food for them, but I only had a small plate being conscious of not wanting to...

Thanks for the advise hules. I haven't built up the courage to get out there yet! But, I had a session at the gym with an instructor, he got me running on the treadmill as part of interval training. He's got me running faster than I thought I could do, but it's a good start, I need to build up...

Ooh I've heard of these tablets, I read an article about a journalist who tried them, and lost a lot of weight! But then reviews that I've read say they are no better than any other tablet :-/ I'm a bit skeptical, but if they work I'll get some :) lol

I'm too scared to try this! As you can tell from my weight I am not fit, I do gym workouts and spin class, but right now for, this workout seems too much :-/

Yeah it's the 5k I'm doing! Scary, that's a long run for me right now! thank you both so much for your advice, I have the couch 2 5k podcasts, gunna brave the outdoors on the weekend :-) thanks again, Carly

Thank you :-)

I was the same! But now I'm used to it. I just get on with my workout and that's it! I admit spin is torture! But the buzz you got afterwards is amazing! :-) good luck to you too :-)

Yep will defo be in the gym tomorrow :-) shall update after I've been :-)

Hi! I'm Carly :) I'm from South Wales. I found out about minimins from a friend in work, I am so glad I joined!! There's so much on here it's fantastic! I thought I'd tell you a bit about me. I started my weight loss journey last January at 15st13lb, depressed and suffering from anxiety! I...

I will start it too, I made a promise I'd run the race for life 5k with girls in work in June..... Eeeek!

Hi all, this may be a silly question but its been troubling. I have started a meal replacement program, I know that doing this properly you get amazing results. The only thing that bothers me is what happens when you stop the meal replacement and you eat proper food? Do you put a bit of weight...

The nhs have podcasts for couch 2 5k :-)

Me!

Hi all i have been set a goal by work mates to run the race for life in may.. I am terrified!! I haven't run ever in my life! I'm told to start off slowly etc but I just don't know where to start. I have another problem, I'm embarrassed in the gym on the treadmill I seem to be heavy footed and...

I know this may not sound easy for running, but I used to work in a hotel, meant 8 hours till all times of the day/night on my own. I used to hide my mobile in my bra if I had to go to a room for any reason. You can also get key ring panic button. I agree with making someone aware of where...

I am a serial weigher! I am terrible, especially if I'm being extra good I want to see the results on the scales!! I don't go to any class to get weighed, but my dietician said that there's no harm in weighing every morning. That's the best time to way, it's your true weight. But it does become...
