    Hello again

    Hello! I joined this forum a couple of years ago but haven't really used it much. I've decided though that 2016 is the year to really make a proper change. I've lost the odd stone of weight here and there, usually with daily exercise like 30 day shred and a mix of low carb, 123 and slimming...

    Secret to shaping up

    Woohoo, I have biceps! Have done alternating kb with 30ds for a couple of weeks and am starting to see the results :-). Interesting to hear about the perceived weight when in motion, maybe i'll start using different weights for different exercises.

    Secret to shaping up

    Quick question. I'm persevering with my Absolute Beginners (soo jealous of those of you who got the Groupon Kettleworx!). If I think I should be working harder or want to achieve more is it best to up the weight or do the intermediate workout as opposed to the beginner? Thanks in advance!

    Omg, I haven't done measurements but just put my jeans on and had to go down a notch on my belt! If kb is that effective I'm definitely sticking with it! :-) This thread is so inspiring.

    Secret to shaping up

    well I thought I'd post an update as you were all kind enough to encourage and help me. I disappeared for a bit, although I was still reading the threads, as I was a bit 'under the weather' so didn't start the kettlebells. However I'm fully recovered now and have a couple of days off so...

    Jillian michaels shred it with weights?

    Er, no, I've got 30 day shred and assumed that was the one u were referring to. How exciting, a kettlebell shred, I'd best get myself to amazon!

    Jillian michaels shred it with weights?

    Fizzy, I did workout 1 for the first time today and I think she broke me as well and that was without using weights!!! (I don't have handweights just kettlebells and don't think that would work!!!). It's good that it's so short isn't it. My theory is that all that pain must mean it's going to...

    why has it stopped working??

    I did wonder if I wasn't eating enough altho the salads are quite large and I do add mayo. Yes breakfast is an issue, don't have time before work and could have at my desk but apart from cheese and eggs I'm not sure what I could add. Hadn't thought of the fat thing being an issue, I don't have a...

    why has it stopped working??

    I've done atkins before successfully years ago and started again in January. I've lost a stone but that really was in the first few weeks but for the last few weeks there's been little or no weight loss altho I'm still sticking to it. A normal day would be a tin of tuna with salad for lunch and...

    thanks PF, thank goodness I haven't ordered the DVD yet, I'll have to think again. I saw some of the US imports on Amazon but would need to get a multi region player. Maybe I'll check ebay for cheaper kettleworx/kettlercise. I was looking at getting Davina kettlebell as well so thankyou for the...
