    I'll have to dust it first!

    Tracy Anderson trained Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.



    Biggest Loser is starting this week so I am hoping that is motivating!


    Bless!

    Oh right... she looks scary :p

    Hello Angel_Jenny and Willow 92. :D

    I need to lose a lot of weight :o but I've never seen exercise on Sky TV. Could either of you let me know which channel they are on so that I can get some recorded. :T

    Thanks very much.:beer:


    They're on like Fitness TV (282 I think) and stuff.

    Not local either I am afraid but here to support!

    I too am on a healthy kick but I know that the word diet immediantly sends me into an eating frenzy so I have decided to do it in stages. They say it take 28 days to form a habit so i will change one thing every 28 days:D
    1st thing started yesterday is no snacking!
    I know that baby steps are the best for me because a small change at a time hardly feels like a change if you see what I mean.

    Good Luck!

    She is a bit scary! Might be the airbrushing! :p

    She does promise a "teeny tiny dancer's body" though! I can actually get through her DVD but you can really feel it the next day.

    Thanks Angel_Jenny :beer:

    I will have a look at all of those and no doubt the laughing I will do (knowing I won't be able to do their exercises) will be enough to help me tighten my stomach muscles. :rotfl:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I like tracey anderson's dvd too...but can't find it ATM...its somewhere, and I want to do it!

    OP, I'm overweight too, and sometimes exercise with a much fitter, slimmer friend. Is it embarrassing...yes, but she's also more motivated than I and thus a better pal than someone who might be tempted to give up when we are both flagging. Don't rule out a slimmer friend you already have who might like to get fitter or exercise to a dvd or similar with you a couple of times a week. :)

    I was considering a Wii Fit, already have a Wii, but at £80ish it kinda went against my savings plan lol.. I have a brand new mountain bike in the kitchen that hasn't been out yet, due to the snow, so I'm going to get out on that instead. I'm lucky that there is a long country road with a path that is very quiet just 2 mins from my house, so I can use that for cycling :)

    Just think, if we get moving now and lose weight then we will be ready for the summer... God only knows I want to be slimmer for then.

    I'm not that unfit, even at my weight, just been on my yearly snowboarding holiday, and did fine, although I really would have enjoyed more energy! I guess I'm kidding myself in a way because I lost 5.5stones before and I was so much fitter, healthier and happier :D
    9/70lbs to lose :)

    Good luck to everyone wanting to lose weight :)

    Is there a thread on here for everyone to support each other?
