    Has anyone ever done Body Pump and still lost weight?

    body pump is great for toning, but it doesnt get your heart rate up into the fat burning zone, so it wont burn fat in the same way that a cardio class will , excellent for toning though and as tough as you want to make it.

    slimmer of the week question

    i think that the first weigh in isnt counted, so even though youve lost 2 wk in a row, because the first week doesnt count, in terms of SOW youve only lost for 1 week. to get SOW you also have to have lost or SS the week before as well. well done on the loss though, youve done really well !

    "intense" cardio may not be the right way for you to lose weight, to burn fat you need to maintain a heart rate of around 65% of your maximum for at least 30 mins, if you work too hard youll train your heart and lungs but will not burn as much fat. to work out your max heart rate take your age...

    cutting back on sugar and especially caffeine can cause headaches, if youve cut down on fizzy drinks it could be that, i know when ive done Atkins, the initial induction when you cut out all caffeine and sugar made me feel dead rough. should be gone in a few days.
