Weight Loss Resolution

I'll try eating more. By the time I get home though and eat there's no time to wait an hour :(
If I eat after biking/walking/guymming will that be betteR?
And also how do you do these crunches?

You definitely need to eat more! You're body is going into starvation mode and storing food as fat instead of using it for energy. You should be eating at least 1200 calories a day, more if you're doing lots of physical activity.

Chrunches will only work if you get rid of the fat lying on top of the abs. You can have perfectly toned abs but you won't be able to show them off if you've not lost the weight.

You should do some cardio work if you want to burn fat. Better still, when you enrol at a gym, get an exercise plan drawn up of what you need to do to lose weight.

Definitely eat after exercising rather than immediately before. Is there a trial at a gym near you where somebody can show you how to do crunches safely? Basically, make sure your lower back is always on the floor, lift your upper body up and down, support the back of your head with your hands.

Crunches are a killer but they do work!

Okay so I feel like 'this is it' and I WILL lose weight this time! I think I have got about a whole month to kill so decided I might as well try and shed some weight! In order to stay healthy and in the lower end of the healthy BMI range (I am on the higher end of the healthy range) I need to lose just under 30lb (14kg)!

I have just ordered Jillian Michaels (the lady from Biggest Loser USA) 30 Day shred which should be with me next week! It's my first ever workout DVD so I am excited! :D Been reading through lots of reviews and it seems if you stick with it you will lose plenty! Some say that they haven't lost much weight but have lost lots of inches (weight of muscles etc.) so I am not going to be too into the weight side of things!
I have also decided that I won't be eating any sweet/chocolate for the next month - I managed a whole week before so I feel I can do it :)

Will be documenting my process and hope all goes well!

Spicy, sounds like you have a plan!!! I have just bought 30 Minutes Stretch And Tone by Sande Urquart, had the video but my player is bust and too expensive to repair, cheaper to get the DVD on eBay. Very good exercise DVD for the initially unfit, I look forward to starting again once this very hot spell here is over, would kill me doing exercise in this humidity and heat. Good luck Spicy, hope it works for you :)

Talking of workout dvds.. anyone recommend a really good one?? But good for beginners also lol.

I could do with one of those. :p My sister gave us the wii fit before she sells it. I'm a master on the hula hoops and ski slalom.

Been working for my dad gardening, I have biceps now.. hahahaha. I don't think its a good look for a woman. Though that's what you get for hauling bins and raking leaves. :lol:

I've started on Slimming World today. I had 28g of muesli for breakfast (which just about covered the bottom of the bowl :eek:) with some milk and a coffee. I'm still a bit confuddled with the different types of food and how eating as much free food as one likes can aid weight loss :confused:

I also don't have a set of scales so I guess it will be a visual thing and I'll hang the bunting out when I can get back into my jeans. I think I need to go shopping for lots of fruit and veg and free food.

Abigail.. that shocked me too when I started to weigh food, how little 28grs of cereal was... it is like a spoonful.. I thought I was eating what was specified but obviously it was double or triple the amount..

Good luck with your weight loss and I would advise to buy a scales for measuring
