    Hi! I recently started exercising at home, doing some muscle training, zumba and other cardio exercises. But I've got a problem; whenever I jump, or move my legs very widely apart from each other I get a feeling like my vagina/womb was about to fall out and it's very uncomfortable! I need to...

But luckily I was able to change it in a way that I now stay at home for a little later in the morning and do my exercise before anything else :) I think it also...

    Does weight loss start with the mind ?

    Oh yes. If your mind is not there It won't happen. My brain and mind is my biggest enemy. I think I can't when I actually can! It's playing all sorts of tricks! :D I've been listening Slimpod for a while and that plus positive thinking I think it works! Anything works anyway when you put your...

    Exercise-what motivates you to do it?

    Getting better and fitter motivates me the most.. Even if it's just one more repeat than last time, i feel good! I was quite fit before, but stopped all exercising for four months and ate rubbish..result: I can't believe how unfit a person can be! So have to start from beginning, but I'll get...

    exercise ball anyone??

    I've just started exercising with a ball, it's great fun and exercises really get more challenging because you also have to try to balance on it! My balance is crap! I only now realized lol.. Probably the best exercising tool I've tried! :) and you can do it at home.

    once you've lost the weight, whats your motivation to keep it off

    I think my husband is the reason I've not gained too much weight after losing it.. I just feel like I can't let myself go again, it would not be fare for him. Also I hate to lose the same pounds over and over again, it's happened few times. I hope my new appearance will motivate me in the future...

    Anyone tried 5-6 little meals a day?

    I don't really count calories, I eat whatever time I want to, but one thing I do try to do is to eat small many times a day rather than big few times a day. If I did count calories and I had for example 1500 to spare, I'd use about 200 in the morning, 500 for lunch, 100 for snack, 500 for supper...

    is weight to blame for low self esteem/confidence?

    To me weight is a major issue what comes to confidence. I leave so many things undone just because I think of my fats and it makes me feel so down. Sometimes I'm scared that losing weight won't make me happy, but at least I'd then have one problem less.

    anyone doing moderate carb instead of low carb?

    I'm not really counting carbs, but also not gorging on them. I guess leaving white flour and sugar, bread, pasta, rice and potatoes out of the diet helps a lot. Carbs I mostly get from fruits, vegetables and milk products and those I don't mind. :) I used to be on a very low car diet though...

    Am I finally getting there? Halfway through, but on a rocky road

    I started my weight loss journey back in 2009, when I weighted 19.5 stone. I managed to lose quite quickly down to 13.5 stones (in a year) but since the beginning of 2010 my weight has been going up and down between 13-14 stones. My biggest problem is binge/emotional eating, which have been...
