WOW, That is amazing! Congratulations!!! :T


Well, I've just measured my stairs (thought I'd do it before I forgot!). They measure 100", or 8.33 ft. Right, I really must get on with my assignment now - MUST STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!

blink_sumday - omg!!!! thats amazing - whats your secret??? I could do with a few weeks like that! Or maybe a few months of those weeks!! lol

As for the Everest challenge - I'd love to get on board with that, although I'm not sure I'd make even close to going up and down stairs 40 odd times a day!! At least its something to aim for

I've just looked it up and apparently its 8848m or 29029ft from top to bottom! Eeekk!

Thanks Lolly and Dory Whenever I start things like this I seem to do very well first week then go on to 1lb a week weight loss but that suits me. That said, the last few weeks I have been eating so much crap that mainly I've just cut that out and snacked on salad/fruit rather than crisps but seems to have done the job! Hopefully I can get another loss next week and get out of the 30+ bmi group but as I'm restricted with exercise I know that makes it more difficult!

Are you guys both DIY plans or do you follow something strictly?

Morning y'all.

I did a forum search for Insanity and came here (I usually don't venture out of the competitions forum) :rotfl:

Anyway, I saw an advert this morning for Insanity Workout (www.tryinsanity.co.uk) by Shaun T and some of the posters here have done/do this workout.

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a cheap DVD package as over hundred quid seems quite steep and I have gym membership at the moment or if anyone has finished their 60 day challenge and willing to loan me theirs for 60 days (I'll send it back honest)

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Hey hun. I do this workout (except I don't really follow the actual routines that you're meant to follow for the 60 days, just do some of the ones I like, mix it up with P90x), but now I'm doing TurboFire as it's really fun and hard at the same time. Still very much prefer the intenseness of Insanity though.

Unfortunately I don't actually have the DVD's. I downloaded them online, and workout using the laptop in the kitchen. I drive my mum crazy lol, as it's mostly when she's trying to cook and i keep her out of the kitchen.

Puddings was going to climb to base camp on Everest.

There are 2 routes (South East and North East) SE base camp at 5360m (17585ft) or a climb of 565ft or 175m per day during March. If your stairs are 8.5ft tall that is a climb of 67 times per day :j

NE base camp is at 5180m (16990ft) or a climb of 167m (548ft) per day during March. If you stairs are 8.5ft tall that is a climb of 65 times per day :j.

Sir Edmund Hillary climbed the SE route.

Blink - I do Weight watchers although I can't get to meetings as I work evenings so I do it online which is ok i guess but I think I'd prefer to go to meetings just to kinda get that validation each week. I've had a break from it the past couple of months as I've had a few things going on (mostly linked to separating from my husband and having to move into rented accommodation with my 6 yr old) but I'm determined that whatever else is going on my weight will disappear!!! So I 'start' again tomorrow in earnest and keep my fingers crossed I can report a massive weight loss next week too

Thanks for replying. Maybe I should download em too :rotfl: I need to lose a stone and also tone up my podgy belly I attend the gym 5 times a week but when I saw the advert for it this morning, I was like, "OMG!" :rotfl:

Congratulations! And welcome to the team, I'm on low carb too (apart from the odd chocolate binge every now and again :rotfl:).

Thanks lolly101, I'm well aquainted with chocolate binges - I had a major one last week until I got my head into low carb mode
