    Hypnodiet by Susan Hepburn

    It's a book and a relaxing hypnotherapy CD. It looks great! I'm currently listening to Glenn Harrold and Paul McKenna and am finding these gentle hypnotherapy CD's hugely beneficial not just with weight loss but motivation for exercise, a confidence boost and positive outlook.

    Hypnodiet by Susan Hepburn

    Has anyone tried this yet? It's new and seems to have rave reviews. Very cheap on Amazon at the moment at £5.49 instead of £10.99! Susan Hepburn is a well known hypnotherapist practising in Harley Street and her most famous weight loss client is Lily Allen. Janey xx

    I only lasted a few hours on WW I am afraid so a waste of money joining. I rebelled quite quickly to being told how much to eat and having to count and weigh everything. Dieting in any form is not for me. But I wish you all every success. Back to intuitive eating for me. Best wishes. xx

    Rebounders

    Does anyone here have a rebounder? I've been recommended to get one and to use it for about 10 minutes a day - apparently it is great for toning up legs and bottom and great as a cardiovascular exercise too. Hoping to buy one this weekend as I am a classic pear shape and will feel the benefit...

    Glenn Harrold - Lose Weight Now

    I bought Lorraine Ireland's CD a few weeks ago after reading all the rave reviews on Amazon but her voice irritates me too much. I am not sure if her voice is put on for the CD or whether she actually speaks like that, but I couldn't listen to it. Paul McKenna or Glenn for me. I've started...

    Activities/Points

    Excuse my initial questions as a newbie to WW but I see that I can add extra points if I exercise or do various activities. Even cleaning seems to count according to the website. 1/2 hour of low intensity cleaning is 1 point! I am assuming there must be a limit to how many points you can earn...

    Oh okay, so exercise can add extra points? I am guessing cleaning can as well? I am off to investigate the website further - I have a full day of cleaning ahead before my guests arrive tonight so that should be pretty vigorous stuff!! A great diary. Janey

    Hi thanks for replying. I'm vegetarian so a bit limited. I tried to find out olives on the website but it says "per portion". I have no idea what a portion of olives is! I am sure the book must be better than the website. I wish they would say "one olive =". I know I'll get the hang of it...

    Prezzo is an Italian chain in most cities, a bit like Pizza Express. Sadly Pizza Express is on the WW website but not Prezzo. If, say, I ordered a bowl of spaghetti with tomato sauce ... what would that roughly be? So sorry, I'm new to this and it is complicated!! Janey

    yo-yo-dieter, how many 'walking' steps do you think you do a day? At the moment all my steps are out walking and even a long walk in my lunch hour only clocks up just over 5,000 and that is putting in a lot of distance. Does your pedometer register movement or actual steps at the gym?

    Walking

    I'm not interested in the distance or calories, just the steps. I've now worked out my steps and now hubby wants to buy a pedometer so I have to work out his steps as well. :)

    Walking

    Yes, I see what you mean. One of my strides may be equivalent to two of my normal walking steps, so maybe I have marked my steps down. I shall need to read this properly tonight, thanks. :)

    Walking

    When I am around the house I take reasonable size steps but when I go out for a "walk" I power walk with big strides. Probably each stride is the equivalent to two steps indoors. Which should I be measuring? Normal daily walking or power walking?? :eek: Does it matter if I vary between the...

    I know what you mean Cheryl, never trust a gadget! I keep checking mine, and counting steps and then looking. So far so good. :) Mine is an Omron, really good, I am impressed.

    Walking

    I think my pedometer is going to really motivate me to walk. Walking is okay but when you can see the numbers rising and can aim for a target then it is a totally different ball game. This is fun. I actually want to move! :D I know Paul McKenna has always enthused about pedometers and said...

    Oh dear, this is too much fun. I've only had my pedometer for about 2 1/2 hours and I've already done over 10,000 steps. I had no idea I had it in me! :eek: Off for a snooze now! :D:D

    Right girls, that was easy! I am now wearing my pedometer and am now officially with you all! Today I have already done loads before my pedometer arrived so it's a shame I won't get a true reading but I will still set myself a little target for today before aiming for 10,000 steps tomorrow. :):):):)

    Wow, I'm in shock. I posted above that I reckoned my pedometer would arrive tomorrow and I would start on Wednesday, but my post man has just delivered it! :D:D BUT, I loathe and detest gadgets and am sat here with my pedometer, various bits and pieces and a huge thing of instructions...

    Well done, 50,000 steps in a week is amazing! :):) And next week maybe you can aim to beat that. Keep going!!

    The jamie oliver thing was repeated this evening

    I've recorded it as it was definitely worth watching again (and probably again ......!). :):)

    Thanks for the link, much appreciated!! :):) And you've gone to prove how a modern lifestyle means we don't get as much exercise as we used to. I hope you enjoy dusting off your pedometer!!

    Right, I need to find this steps challenge! I don't want to be a big, fat pear anymore!! :D

    Walking

    You're probably right Karion. I do especially move a lot at work going up and down the stairs all the time. And like you said, even walking to the loo requires steps!! I think on my first day using a pedometer I will just have a "normal" day and see what I actually do achieve in a day without...

    Walking

    Wow Laura!! I know Paul McKenna recommends doing 2,000 extra steps a day every day, but 26,000? Wow, I am seriously impressed!! :D:D

    Hey thanks Karion, that's got me motivated! On a daily basis I don't think I use my body enough. If I discover I only average about 2,000 days a day I think I might cry! :eek: 16,000 steps a day is phenomenal! Btw, are they difficult to use? I ask because my mum had a pedometer and it...

    I saw Dr Chris Steele on This Morning this week say that walking is the best thing. 10,000 steps a day. I have no idea how many steps I do a day but I bet I would be horrified to find it's not very many! :eek: So I've just bought a pedometer and hope to get out there walking and achieve...

    Sky+ is a godsend. I normally have loads on there. I record so much stuff with Sky+ which I would never have done before with video/dvd recorder.

    TV was terrible tonight, but thank goodness Russell Brand is live on the radio Saturday nights!! :D:D:D A lot of tv has moved to Sunday like the ice skating. Before Christmas I couldn't cope with Strictly Come Dancing on one side and the X-Factor on the other. And now there is nothing worth...
