    Ultimate Value Diary App

    Yes, you should take a look. My problem was that since I don't live in the UK or states, most of the stuff in there seem to be uploaded from users so I am not familiar with them. Or doesn't state the serving size for some. I don't know, the official ww app sticks better with me. If you find the...

    Hi there. I downloaded it eventually but I didn't like it as much and I signed up for the online program. The original app I find is better. That's only me though, many are quite happy from the app!

    Summer countdown diary

    Hello! I was checking on people's diaries to get me some ideas and I noticed you said you can't get back on track. Guess what? You can! Not getting back on trac is the reason we are where we are weight wise. If we want a change, and be thinner for the summer, we will get back on track! My advise...

    Will just using kettle bells help me lose weight?

    hello! i really think you will be fine. After all scientists agree that the best exercise for weightloss is the one you will actually do!!! And kettlebells do keep your heart rate up along with building muscle. my view is that when we try to do a lot of things is when we get tired easily and...

    Ok then, sounds reasonable to me! I too find WW a bit easier, being able to count everything, and the only thing that is actually free is fruit and veg. This makes it restricting as far as calorie dense foods go, but we need to cut down on the calories so we loose weight. And you get better...

    30 day shred!

    Ok, I did my shred for tonight!! Well, I am sad to report that I expected to see a bigger change. The results on me exist but are subtle. I know my legs are stronger, my mid section might be a little better but not much :-( Anyway, I will continue shredding and then move on to something else...

    Hi guys... I am facing a problem... It's 11.10 pm and I think it will be too much If I shred tonight, because of the downstairs neighbors.

    Hello everyone! I am still shredding! I have 5 more days on level 2! For some reason I have crazy hours right now and I haven't been in the forum for a couple of days!

    Hi everyone... unfortunately I was away for 2 days for a funeral, so I just resumed level 2... This is my 3rd workout on level 2, but I have missed another 3 so I will add them at the end of level 2, before I move on to level 3! I was somewhat better today, so I have reason to hope!!!

    Level 2 Day 1.... HOW MANY PLANKS HERE THERE???? I wasn't any good... Tomorrow I will be much better.

    30 day shred!

    Day 9 Level 1 done! Dreading to go on to level 2, I hope it's doable as some of the exercises from level 1 are still hard for me. For example I am still doing push ups on my knees, and I can't complete all the arm raises with lunges on circuit 3. Do you think I should stick with level one or...

    Doing SW and working shifts? Like nurses?

    Hi everyone, I am a nurse trying to loose weight, but I keep going off track because of my shifts. We have three 8 hour shifts here (Greece) and you could easily be working morning AND night shift on the same day. It's just so easy for me to get off track not only because of the hunger at work...
