Did the new attack tonight, first time I've done anything more strenuous than legs bums and tums in a few weeks as I was laid up poorly, then after recovery have been away in Germany! Is it me or is track 9 really difficult to get the timing on? Found it really weird!

Yum! Wine sounds like a great idea, though I'd have no idea where to start! Mine are in the freezer, destined for breakfasts and crumbles!! I'd quite like to make jam to give as gifts but I imagine you need a lot of fruit for that!

Yes I think I timed it just right, it's got pretty horrid outside since I came home!

Morning all! I've just been out blackberrying and come back home with a huge bagful, as well as new knowledge of an eating apple tree just down the road! It sure beats paying for fruit at the supermarket or even the market! And best of all, it's all free/super free! And it got me thinking -...

Hi, Just read this post with interest as I recently read an article about 5:2 suggesting it could affect fertility in some women. Someone above mentioned seeing their GP before doing it, which I definitely feel would be a good idea. Ultimately, in my view, the weight may come off slower on SW...

I've started The Poet by Michael Connelly. Awesome so far.x

Yes I tend to sweat onions and veg etc in a little water instead of using frylight. When it comes to eggs you could poach or coddle instead of frying. Scrambled eggs you can do in the microwave. As for sweeteners, I suppose a lot of convenience foods have them but you could use honey in...

Finished Gone Girl, have to admit was a bit disappointed with the ending but never mind! Will probably still keep an eye out for her other books. Now what next?! Michael Connelly, Mark Haddon or Ian Mcewan?!

I started it yesterday and have got over halfway through, literally had to force myself to put it down and go to work this morning! Hoping to finish it tonight, with a break to watch GBBO!!

I'm about to sit in the garden with a cuppa and start Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.x

I used to think my OH was bad, he won't eat any green veg except frozen peas, and the only other veg he eats is onions, peppers, carrots and parsnips (roasted in honey, obv!) and he won't touch fish (which is ok as I don't really eat it much). But he does ALL the cooking! I wish he disliked...

Ooh thank you - your post reminded me I wanted to see Now you see me!! Must try to get hold of it when it comes out. The last film I saw at the cinema was Alpha Papa - absolutely brilliant. Had seen the trailer and was a bit apprehensive as it looked a bit pants, but after reading good reviews...

Hi, I had implanon, which I know is a different hormonal make up. My first was awesome, easily fitted, no periods at all, no side effects that I noticed. My problem came when I has it replaced, was a nightmare to remove, my second one must have been placed wrongly as my arm was constantly itchy...

Alias Grace is my favourite book ever :) Margaret Atwood is my favourite author. I recommend Cat's Eye and The Robber Bride if you ladies fancy some more of her work :) Ive had The Red House by Mark Haddon on the go for ages, just can't get into it, which is a shame as A Spot of Bother was...

I fully agree, I don't think books will end up like music has. I kind of wish I did like kindles. They are certainly good if you like to have more than 1 book on the go at once, and if you are going on a trip, or simply for practical reasons, like space saving. I have used one but I thought it...

I'm firmly anti kindle/ereader! I can see why people like them, but its not for me. I prefer the physicality and history of a real book :) Plus I'm an ex-bookseller, which probably clouds my view! If you type 'books 4 lyfe' into google images, you'll see the print I have framed in my lounge ;)

I'll be interested to get someone else's view on The Red House. I too loved mark haddon's other books, but I'm finding this one tough to get into.x

That's a bit weird! Maybe she's just a bit scatterbrained, or she doesn't give a monkeys! It is a bit rude stealing equipment though! In my pump class once there was a guy who just couldn't or wouldn't do lunges properly, the instructor kept telling everyone to watch her technique but he just...

Absolutely loving the new Attack. Glad they've taken the superman move out as I hate it! Also like the agility and leg tracks, though I have yet to make it through track 4 or the final power track without using lower options near the end! Stayed for pump aswell tonight but the instructor did a...

About to do the new attack for the first time! I'm roasting already, so this will not be pretty!!

Hi, I was a VA member in Leeds and I loved it! Dead friendly helpful staff, loads of classes with good instructors, and nice clean, posh changing rooms. It is pricey, but I think you get what you pay for. I had to leave when I moved cities, and they gave me no trouble about cancelling or...

Well done! You're a better woman than me, that's for sure!

This sounds horrible! But kind of good. I'm getting back into the swing of things after letting things go due to moving house, Christmas and then just general laziness... Hopefully I'll be a bit fitter by the time this new release comes - they always feel hard anyway because you're used to the...

**when I say a vegan diet, I mean the dairy side, obv if you eat meat, you have no need to omit that!x

I don't know a specific name I'm afraid, but I'm sure if you put 'lactase capsules/tablets' into amazon or eBay you will come up with something! Apparently a lactose intolerance is not actually an intolerance, but rather that you lack the enzyme that processes lactose. Replace that enzyme and...

Hey, You can buy lactase tablets/capsules to take which replaces the enzyme that you are missing and which causes the side effects of lactose intolerance. This may be a solution if you want to eat regular dairy products. The tablets may have a syn value, but I'm not sure as its my boyf who is...

I'm craving a class so much, not been since last Thursday due to work commitments, double attack/pump tomorrow, can't wait!! Then I'll do Bokwa and attack Saturday, also need to look for a new gym for when we move house in a month! :)

I loved the new attack even more the 2nd time, the power track is my favourite! Also a new class has been put on Thursday mornings, I don't normally gym Thursdays as the classes are rubbish, but I get every 3rd Thursday off, and now I can do attack/pump in the mornings :) I'm moving house soon...

Hey guys, if you have one of the 20 JJB stores near you that have had all the remaining stock shipped to them, it's definitely worth a look! Everything's half price, I just got some running leggings, a top and a good sports bra, all branded, for less than £40!! You have to rifle through the...

So I tried Bokwa this morning! It was really good, despite the sound system being awful - must put a suggestion in at the gym about that! I think I picked it up quite well, can see after a couple of classes you could string some moves together and really go for it!! I was going to be tough and...

I'm really not a fan of pink, try to zone out during her tracks!! It's amazing with all the music in the world they have to re-use tracks, but then I suppose not all have the right tempo etc, and then they'd need to clear licensing issues etc. I wish they'd put Poison back in attack though, we...

Kind of on a related note, Gina, you like rock/metal music don't you? A friend of mine up here in Leeds has started a class called Aerockbics, which is aerobics but to songs like Queen, Green Day, Pantera, Pixies etc, its so cool, I wish everyone could come to it! She's even teaching a class of...

Bon Jovi rule!! Oh hang on, I just realised it's Bryan Adams!! Doh! They do both begin with 'B'...!! Oops! Too excited that I liked it to get my music straight!! Ha ha!! I also remembered the bicep track in pump is a Pink song :( much preferred the rocky/metally track in the previous release.

Loving the new releases!! Salt n pepa, Bon jovi, savage garden?! Totally taking me back and I was singing along loads!! Liking the agility and power tracks in attack, and the leg/plyo track too, though haven't heard the full release as my tues class is only 45min. Pump, am loving the back...

I'm doing new attack and pump this afternoon yay!! Excited, but I know I'll be absolutely struggling, always do with new releases, as you're working your body differently. Plus only 5 mins between classes! May skip the warm down in attack to set up for pump and take a breather!!

Yeah, I asked on Tuesday and my gym is launching the new releases next weekend! My weekend off too, never been to a launch class before so may have to go!! Also gonna try bokwa if I can drag myself out of bed for 9.15am on a Saturday!

Celine Dion?! Wow! They sure do pick some shockers on occasion don't they?! Hope the new releases are good, am excited now! Just hope I can go this week - pulled a muscle in my back earlier in bodyconditioningthatwasactuallybootcamp, and it's still twinging a bit :( Has anyone tried Bokwa yet...

I tend not to do combat so much so that's ok! Hated the U2 track in the latest attack, and the les mis cool down in pump :-s I did however love the tricep track - felt like I was in a music video all doing dips in time together!!

Does anyone know when the new releases are due? Getting very bored of the latest ones, even if some instructors do mix it up a bit!x

Well this weekend I started Fifty shades of grey and as soon as I finished it, went out to buy fifty shades darker which I'm now halfway through. The back story of Grey is intriguing me, and the story itself is ok, as long as you don't take some of the concepts too literally, and I'm...

Track 4 is horrid yes!! Our new instructor has added in all kinds of extras like burpees too, absolute killer! Did new pump today, not really keen on a lot of the tracks, and some of the tempo changes in the back track are v random.

How's your half marathon training coming along Gina? I'm sure you're doing great! Have you done the new attack release yet? We did some of it today, it's ridiculous!!! Even the warm up is harder!! It was my first class with the new instructor too, she is good but will take some getting used to...

Try putting orange peel around the boundaries of your garden, also a good reason to eat extra fruit! :) x

Good news - my gym has started an extra body combat class at 5pm on Thursdays :) this means not only can i actually do combat again, but also do a class on a Thursday! Brilliant!

I loved Life of Pi, one of my favourite books!! I've just finished Dave Gorman vs The Rest of The World, now started on Michael Connelly's The Black Echo. Hoping to read the whole series in order, it'll be the first time I've done so with a crime writer. I usually just get random ones from the...

I had no problems with my first implant, I loved it, easy to get fitted, then no more faffing with pills and periods. Then I had it removed and another put in, the procedure wasn't as easy as the first time but still alright. But my second implant just didn't settle, it was itchy all the time...

I'm running low atm and going to book a hair appointment today - hopefully my budget can stretch this month to a new bottle!x

It's a hair oil, I add a little to the ends of towel dried hair and once dried and straightened it's silky smooth and so soft. Smells lovely too and you only need a teeny bit. Also good to smooth frizz and flyaways and split ends on dry hair, or define curls and gives your hair a lovely shine.

Love this thread btw, reading through has given me some great suggestions to try!! Here are some of my favourite products. Avon Vintage glamour shower creme (seems to have been discontinued?) Clean & clear daily exfoliating wash Moroccan oil (do not like the price, but it does last ages) VO5...

I would say to try and not use body scrub - if she's getting cracked sore skin it's probably irritating it? Also try a really rich thick moisturiser just before bed, and put gloves or socks on the hands to sleep in. I really notice a difference the mornings after I do this. Also use a hand...

Just done the new Attack release today. Really enjoyed it, although mainly because I think I was getting bored of the last release! Didn't like the running track, and the abs track is a bit rubbish with all the planky bits, but I liked the leg power track.xx

Does your gym do different intensity spin classes? It is hard, but I just do what I can - my fastest speed isn't the same as someone else's, everyone works to different levels and so will you. As long as you vaguely follow what the instructor is telling you, you will be fine!! My one tip, which...

Iv got attack tomorrow. Hope it's not as dead as last week - 6 of us in the class!

"Time's what we don't have". It's next to the lilies on my foot which are in memory of my aunt who passed away from breast cancer. Heard the song and it totally resonated with me, had to get it!!x

Love love love tattoos, even better if they are well done and have meaning behind them! I have: My parents initials behind my ears Stars on my upper back/neck A lotus flower on my lower back (covering my first ever tattoo, a tribal design I got at 17 - big mistake!) Butterfly/moth with skulls...

If you can find classes near you I'd definitely recommend Body Attack, Body Combat, Body Pump and spinning. Attack is high intensity cardio - tough but burns those calories and has different levels depending on your fitness. Combat is like martial arts training but without a partner. Lots of...

My 2nd combat class tonight, got a stand in instructor so hope she's as good as the usual guy!

I'm team Gale all the way. Still only 1/3 into Mockingjay though so depending on what happens this may change!! Is The Woman in Black worth reading? I didn't think much of the film at all but given they probably changed it a bit, and the ending, I'm considering giving it a whirl.x

That sounds horrible Gina!!! What happened (or didn't) to make it so bad? The one and only zumba class I went to I nearly walked out of, the instructor was terrible!!! I've started doing attack/pump double on a Friday. So good!!

My back muscles are killing me today though, all that twisting!! I kind of have a crush on my attack instructor, even though he's not my type at all. Probably just because he's nice to me and remembered my name!!! How ridiculous!!! Will definitely do combat again, just wish there was an...

Combat is ace!!! And our instructor is rather easy on the eye, which is always nice ;)

I'm off to my first one tonight too! Going with a friend so I can't cancel it! Have booked on and cancelled so many times, looking forward to actually going for it tonight!

I don't have one, but I have tried out my MIL's and I don't like it. Several reasons really, but mainly, the way the screen looks as it changes pages. I'd prefer if it looked as if a page was being turned, rather than flashing up and down again. I'd also be worried I'd drop a kindle into the...

Urgh, it was so hard!! I am aching like never before today, WOD was 15 walking lunges holding 10k weight above your head, then 21 burpees, repeat x 3! I managed 2 sets, found it really tough. I can see it would get you fit and strong very quickly, however I'm rubbish at pushing myself and the...

Thanks for checking!!x

I would also love to know if this cottage cheese is free if anyone knows?!x

Hey there, You could try mixing new/old together for a while and gradually decreasing the proportion of the more expensive food. My cat is quite picky, he will eat the first pouch of a new type of food then refuse the rest! The only type he will consistently eat now is the Aldi pâté type, which...

Hi, Does anyone do / has anyone ever tried Crossfit? My friend is mad about it and I've agreed to go along to a free beginners session with him next week. It looks pretty good, although I usually do classes at the gym as I find it hard to motivate myself through a session by myself. Any hints...

I much prefer to read the book before seeing the film if possible. The only trouble is that I normally then end up disliking the film as parts are taken out or it's different to how I imagined characters/places!!! Suppose that's inevitable though!!xx

I really feel for you Gina. If my favourite instructor quit or something I know I'd be gutted too! On the other hand There's also a girl who stood in for the Monday instructor and she was brilliant, but she doesn't work at our gym - unfortunately!!

I did a little vom in my mouth earlier today in body attack!!! Can you tell i've not been to the gym for a week ;) Feel absolutely great now though!! Must get back into my routine, as soon as I have a break I find it so hard to get the drive to go back to the gym!!

I devoured The Hunger Games in a day!! Soo good! But gutted as I realised I have bought the 1st and 3rd books rather than 1st and 2nd so I need to track down a copy ASAP!!! Minimog - glad you liked Handmaids Tale. It's a good sign you'll like Atwoods other stuff :) Has anyone read On Chesil...

My hunger games books arrived this morning!! Just about to settle down with a cuppa and get started on the first :)

Yes, I have been thinking its just a copy of Battle Royale!!! I will read the books though before I decide how similar I think they are!!! I have that film on DVD actually, may be time to dig it out for another watch!!x

I've just bought the first two books online - so can't wait for them to arrive. Saw a trailer for the film tonight which also looks great!!x

She has written some fab books. The Blind Assassin and Cats Eye are great, my absolute favourite though is Alias Grace. If you like the theme of alternative society in Handmaids Tale you might also like Oryx and Crake, kind of weird but good!!

I was supposed to go to my first combat class tonight but have cancelled as I feel a bit ill :( I really want to try it but there are only 2 classes a week - one at 7.15 in the evening (I like to be done in the gym, showered and home before 8 if poss!) and then one on a weekend morning - not...

My surname begins with S, and I am a Miss (until I get the proposal I'm hoping for!) :)

Yeah mine is first come first served. Once the class is booked up they take a waiting list and are supposed to let you know if a space comes free. That permanent place system is a new one to me! What if you are a new member and want to do classes but they are all booked up? Do they put on extra...

Margaret Atwood is my absolute favourite author!! Handmaid's Tale is fab, hope you love it!!

Ooh and Holes by Louis Sachar is amazing!!! I think a lot of 'kids' books are underrated!!x

I will try it again another time, I think it going to be one of those that I don't get into until the 4th or 5th try!! Xx

I just googled The Hunger Games and I am intrigued - sounds so good. I may have to make an amazon order in the morning!!x

Well I gave girl with the dragon tattoo a good go, but it's just not grabbing me, so I'm binning it off for the moment. Going to start Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs instead. I love all kinds of literature but crime novels are my guilty pleasure!! We have a book swap scheme at work so I never...

That's so true, we were warned by one instructor about 'January Joiners' but I had no idea how quickly classes would get booked up. At my gym you can book about 10 days in advance, but if you leave it just one day you've got no chance of a place! And the waiting list for attack next weds is 18...

Ooh thankyou jensonbuttongirl!!! Am still waiting for my pack to arrive that a won on eBay but will get on it ASAP after that arrives!!x

Hi all, I'm going to start WW from home, have tried SW in the past but think WW will e easier to follow now I'm living with my (fussy eater) partner!! Please can anyone work out how many points I should be having a day? I'm 27, female 5'8" and weigh 11st 10lb. My job involves sitting most of...

That's fab news!! It makes such a difference to the class if you like the instructor!! Yay!!x

I'm getting ready to make my weekly Friday night dash to the gym - have to travel from work to the gym, park the car, get changed and fill my water up all in 30minutes!! All for 45 mins of body attack! :)

Doh!! Can't believe I missed that one!! What a silly!! Right, that will be my next book then decision made!! Now to fit in reading in between gymming, work and watching awesome tv shows (Dexter, Breaking Bad, Borgen!! Such a Telly addict right now!)

I too always try to read the book first, however I saw the original film about a year or so ago, so want to read all three books before I watch the others. It seems daunting though!! I might settle for Heat magazine today ;)

So what should I start next - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or a crime novel (my guilty pleasure)? Hmmm!!

We joined together, the idea being we could go together then enjoy the spa, sauna etc together afterwards. He went for about 2 months then stopped, and now I feel guilty for wanting to go to a few classes per week!! Killjoy!! Got body attack again tonight, the instructor isn't as hard on us as...

Hey guys! I came across this thread and am relieved to find other Les Mills fans too - my boyfriend gets sick of me being at the gym so much but now I know it's him, not me ;) Did body attack today - loving the new release, esp the running track, press ups and the abs track is a killer!!

Evening everyone, just thought i'd hop onto this thread, it's great to see what everyone else is reading and to pick up some new recommendations! To those finding it difficult to stick with We Need To Talk About Kevin, I urge you to keep trying!! My copy sat on my shelf for about a year and I...

Your diary looks ok to me, but as Plumfoodie says, are you eating enough? Compared to the amount I shovel down some days you don't look to be eating very much, but then again I am a piggy:D Also, if this is your first week back on plan, try not to be too disheartened with a gain - it...

So, first of all Hi everyone! I'm new here, although I have been browsing these boards for a while! Basically I started Slimming World last September after a break up (we're back together now!) and lost just over a stone, however after after getting back together with the boy and no longer...

I know this won't be any use for frying things like bacon and eggs etc, but when I am frying onions e.g when making a chilli / bolognese / soup, I just cook them instead in about 1/2 cm of water, as I find even with frylight they always stick. Plus it makes me feel extra virtuous! The main...
