    Alli's "I want to be fit, forty and fabulous" Diary :)

    Dear Diary, I'm so hacked off! I've been really good this week and when I stood on the scales this morning I had put on 2lbs. I know it's probably last week catching up with me but still! This weekend is going to be a challenge as we are out on a boat tonight with fish and chips being served...

    Alli's "I want to be fit, forty and fabulous" Diary :)

    Yes going to Sweden and can't wait! My only gripe is that last year I was determined that I would be going back slim this year and here I am, pretty much exactly the same weight as last year :(. Oh well. So I ended up having a few more syns yesterday as I found some Thornton's toffee in the...

    Alli's "I want to be fit, forty and fabulous" Diary :)

    I lost 2.5lbs at weigh in last night - unbelievable!! :eek::bliss: Considering the week I had had I really didn't deserve it. From Thursday onwards I was off plan (as I think I mentioned yesterday) although I did try and either choose wisely or at least have smaller portions. I guess that must...

    Morning Diary, So this has been a disaster of a week from a SW point of view - in all other ways it's been fab! I was away with work on Thursday and stayed overnight in a hotel. I did try to choose well but the late night rhubarb crumble with ice cream was not planned! ;) Friday night I was...

    Alli's "I want to be fit, forty and fabulous" Diary :)

    Hi All, Right, I will tell you all upfront that I'm rubbish at diaries and rarely stick to them so you may want to wait a week or two until you invest any time in reading it!! I lost a lot of weight with the Cambridge Plan in 2009 and was very active here on Minimins but as the pounds have...

    Anyone been on cambridge

    I'm trying S&S after having done Cambridge in the past. Personally I prefer the Cambridge products as they are more filling but S&S is cheaper and have slightly more variety. The thing I miss the most is the tetra packs. They were so convenient when at work / out and about etc. They both work...

    Secret to shaping up

    Well done Caroline! I can't see myself moving up from my 7kg any time soon. I struggle to do a whole workout with it so tend to switch to a lower weight for some exercises. I'm sure I could do the whole workout with my 7, but as I have a lighter one I often end up resorting to it when I feel...

    Secret to shaping up

    You will need a heavier bell at some point in the near future anyway so it might be worth getting one now and see how you go. As I think I said before I switch between my 7kg and 4kg and that's challenging enough for me. :)

    Just completed cardio week 4! So glad that's done and dusted. I yelled at the TV when, after having struggled through the hold, he made me doing it again like a minute later. I may have called him a few choice words but I feel great now so all is forgiven :D.

    Good luck Suseka - I'm sure you will be fine with the 10lb bell. I use a mix of a 7kg and a 4kg and that works really well. Evening all - I've just completed week 3! On to cardio week 4 on Thursday - dreading that one as i hate the cardio ones. I'm so proud of myself for passing the halfway...

    It isn't cheap but Costco do a set of 3 metal kettlebells for £35 at the moment. These are the ones I have and they look similar to the kettleworx ones (set comprises of a 4kg, 7kg and a 9kg bell).

    Secret to shaping up

    Hi I'm new to this and am using a combination of 4 and 7kg bells. I can manage all 2 handed exercises with 7kg but need the 4kg for some 1 handed exercises. I have pretty weak arms so would say that you should go for the 5kg bell. Good Luck! :) Evening all, It's such a motivation seeing so...

    Week 2 resistance completed so that's week 2 done and dusted. I really didn't want to do it today and I had to listen to the kids fighting over TV downstairs throughout. I didn't manage the whole workout with my 7kg bell so dropped down to 4 kg for part of the 2nd set. Still I did it and am...

    Zumba dvd set

    I've heard that the Kinect version isn't very good so am glad I gave that a miss. Dance Special for Kinect is good fun. My 6 year old daughter loves playing it too and we regularly do dance battles (I let her win of course ;)). The DVDs are good - I've done 2 workouts so far and really enjoyed...

    Gail's diary and thoughts on her SW journey

    I agree about the fat potential - and it doesn't help that we have cultivated a group of habits to support this potential becoming a reality. It's no wonder it's hard to maintain the weight. SW is a good life plan though and I think probably one of the most successful diet options when it comes...

    Jo Nesbo

    I also love Nesbo and have read all his books (most of them in the Swedish translation) and I much prefer them to Stieg Larsson's books which I liked but don't quite get the hysteria around them. An English equivalent writer that I really enjoy is Mark Billingham and his Tom Thorne novels.
