I am back in Pole dancing next Tuesday.. can't wait.. it has been awhile as they closed down the place I usually go to and this one was a bit far to be traveling when it was dark.. but now we have brighter evenings I don't mind going....Quote:

It's a bit of a trek without a car. But one of the girls who works in the catering she goes and she was telling me that Vanessa is planning to come back to the college on a Tuesday night for a Zumba toning class and a zumba class on a Thursday at the school round the corner from the college so hopefully I'll get back into it soon.
Yeah, that is exactly like me..my old teacher got hired by this new place so I won't have another new one...
I bought one of these scales: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ef=oss_product
Now I concentrate on reducing my body fat rather than weight which means I'm concentrating more on the mix of protein/carbs/fat rather than just reducing calories
That is what the diet I am on concentrates on Carb/fat balance.... and it works... I don't count calories or have point.. just make sure that I take in the required carbs/fats.. I have been off the diet for a while (reached a plateau) and I have maintained all the weight I lost for past 2 months.. not gain no loss...Quote:

That looks like a good piece of kit.Quote:

Protein is very much needed for building muscle.. skinless chicken, egg whites, turkey.. I eat them regular as it doesn't count towards my fat or carb count and just by adding some salad stuff with it, it become a really good and filling lunch.. I just need to get back into my exercise.. Pole fitness is killing me every week.. I ache all over but I have so much fun.. will miss it when I move to GermanyQuote:

Yeah.. i know lots of guys who do yoga.. only thing is.. I could go in Germany but I won't have a clue what they were telling me to do :lol:.. Will invest in a Wii fit with the yoga on it... but then I know myself, i would do better in a class then at home..Quote:

I'd love to try pole dancing or belly dancng but can't seem to find any classes in Edinburgh that do it. But I'lll keep rying. Keeping up with the zumba and play badminton twice a week, also it's been 4 weeks since I've had a full-fat greasy link sausage roll.
Just one word of advice about pole dancing.. don't do it before a sun holiday.. you will look like you were battered.. I am covered in bruises
I actually have a free gym pass for fitness first for one day. So i'm taking the boyfriend on Tuesday :).
i got this pass from www.vouchercodes.co.uk if anyone wants a free gym day and also now they are doing one for 5 days :d
I think all above the medications, supplements, steroids or diet plan, the strong will power has the
actual worth as far as the weight loss it concerned. But personally, I consider it not necessary it to reduce fat
if you have got it. Rather, feel yourself smart and be regular in cardio exercises.Clarkston Group Fitness

Since writing this, I have discovered Kettlebells and have lost 2 more kilos and feeling much fitter than before. I now have a lovely waistline, 50% less side boob and even developed bum dimples (look them up, they are called dimples of venus). I am loving my new shape and the exercises are great fun to do.
Well done. my daughter has her weight loss surgery 16th October.
Got to target weight but due to medical condition where I was only allowed to have soup for 2 weeks. Lost 3kg, not good. Was so hungry all the time and had zero energy. My goal now is to keep the weight at this level and tone up all the wobbly bits
