  1. those bands are a gimmick IMO. best just to save up to get some dumbbells if your serious about wanting to do weight training. besides that you could start doing general body weight exercises like, push ups, dips, squats, lunges, pull ups, most ab work
  2. I find if I spend 30min on my exercise bike before work, I'm more alert during the day and feel better. And of course it burns off the calories. And if you can't spare 30mins a day on your health then maybe you have your priorities wrong
  3. Good tricep exercises include, Dips, Dumbbell Tricep Extension, Skull Crushers (don't be intimidated by the name) and Kick backs.
  4. a good trick with the greek yoghurt is to mix fruit into it to give it some flavour
  5. i add it to salad for and make that a meal.
  6. Pics taken today, can anyone else see a difference?
  7. toning is a myth IMO. you either build muscle or you don't and higher weight with less reps i find to be better to build muscle. i would start of with 3 times a week then when you get your muscles to the size you want, cut back a bit.
  8. Any exercise is better than none and as long as you are enjoying it and not over exhausting yourself then i don't see that there would be a problem. if you are really worried break it up into blocks of 30minutes or maybe try HIIT, I'm almost positive you won't be able to do 150minutes if you are doing Interval Training
  9. yep cottage cheese is always on my shopping list with my high protein diet
  10. Congrats, the next week or so will make you wonder why you done it but when you start seeing results it wil all be worth it. Good luck
  11. I thought I was imagining things, but I too think that people who have always been skinny never get weight loss and how hard it can be. Luck for me I have a really supportive family and one of my best mates who has lost a lot of weight so know what its like.
  12. I am currently a Night Auditor at a Resort
  13. I got a pair of long leg SKINS. I wear them under my normal work out gear whenever I play sport or exercise. The feel great, prevent chafing and my legs don't get as much of the lactic acid jelly feeling after workouts
  14. Long time no see. I had a check up and fill a few days ago. so far after 12 months and including a 2 month period of shameful falling off the wagon. I have officially lost 27kgs (60lbs). would love to lose another 5-10 by christmas. I am well and truly motivated now.
  15. Not sure if I have posted in here but I am from Sunshine Coast, Australia
