I have kettlercise DVDs. Which is the class I go to.. But the best work outs are long like 50 mins - so if you have the time they are great! If not then the kettleworx DVDs - which are 20 min (ish) work outs might suit you better - they are a 6 week program - you prop just need the main 3 core, resistance, and cardio - sports direct do a kettle bell range by lonsdale - I would start at a 2 or 2.5kg (5lb) bell and then move up to a 3 or 4 kg bell .. I know from using them I have lost loads of weight of my shoulders, upper back, back of neck, butt and my thighs are looking much more toned - my arm are looking toned too, still have bingo wings - but I def think with time they will disappear too..

Yesterday I forced myself to drink more water, as I was retaining water like a camel - combination of weather, naproxen tablets, and not drinking enough water - and the diet coke was cold! During the night I think a lot of the water has been flushed away.,

My WI today have put ON 1kg from last week.. But am down 1kg from yesterday morning.. Anyway will continue with drinking more water, and less diet coke.. Control over my eating habits needs major adjustments - have a birthday party Sat to get through, plus family coming to us for a BBQ on Sunday tooo...
I know I am struggling mentally, but every good day is a step in the right direction

That is so true about every good day being a step in the right direction! I think if I worried too much about my bad days it would bog me down mentally and that's probably where I've always gone wrong in the past. I'm trying to cut back on fizzy's right now but can't stand plain water. I've stocked up on no added sugar robinsons and trying to drink more as I always seem hungry lately x

Well done on the no diet coke. I always have a diet coke as soon as I get into work. It fills me up so that I can hold out longer for brekkie.
I am trying to drink more water as well. I have got a couple of 500ml bottles on rotation at work. I put them in the freezer and when I take one out I put another in. Lovely and cold!

Struggling with the no diet coke today!! I normally drink them in the afternoon ... I think I may need to amend my thoughts on that.. May be I can have diet coke only after I have drunk 3L water.. As my reasons for cutting the diet coke are that once I have one I then don't drink as much water.. So need to drink another 1.5L today..
