Ashamed to say I did that too. And I hate them now I freak out if i ever get one at home. They way they buzz....ewwwwwww. Its karma you know, it has to be, I'm probably coming back as one and some one will pull my legs off......:( 0 -
Yeah george foremans are amazing, can cook almost anything on them! Re cleaning it after: I have a spray bottle I fill with water then with the heat on I spritz water on it, most turns to steam and the meat residue, or whatever you had for dinner, just runs off! Then a quick wipe with kitchen roll & she's clean for next use!Sounds like you already eat below your advised calorie intake. But crisps instead of a sandwich :eek::eek: If you're into steaming veg's then you're ahead of most people. The George Foreman is good too (the cleaning it isn't)
As Alan said above, don't skip meals or subsitute them for cheat meals (bad ones) but eat healthy most of the time with the foods you enjoy and you'll be grand
Thanks Alan & JVB!
MBC sounds like you've done amazing on the treadmill, and so soon! Keep up that great work!
After all this fitness talk I am dying to get to gym, hurry up & reopen!!!!0 -

Morning MBC. Right I'm all refreshed now. Regarding free weights or a multigym; It has long been known that working out with free weights allows for complete freedom of movement and therefore the ability to work each limb and muscle group separately. Using multigyms, whether home systems or machine's in the gym force the body to move in a rigid fashion. This can cause injuries, especially in the shoulders over time. Free weights allow better movement and utilize 'stabilizing' muscles too. For instance, when performing a bench press (with bar or dumb bells) the major muscle used is the chest. Using free weights forces the body to stabilize (balance) the weight above the body using the Lats (Latissimus Dorsi) which are muscles in the middle/outer back. Using this method is therefore more advantageous for overall conditioning
But, quite often free weight training can be time consuming and inconvenient. Using multigyms are still an effective tool, especially for the light to moderate user. Or those who need a quick workout. There are loads of info on the web but I would always suggest you take professional advice from a retailer on which system would suit you best. You can always 'tap' the sales person for their advice and then get yourself a good deal on the net
Additionally, if you want to use free weights but are unsure about exercises to perform or muscle groups worked, I would recommend you go to http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html where there is a wealth of information and correct exercise techniques.
Good luck 0 -

Hi JVB
Thanks so much for taking the time to type all that for me! You are both very kind and very knowledgeable That's enough flattery for one night don't you think??!!
The training is going well - I just ran for 36 mins without stopping to walk at all (a big deal for me lol) and did 3 miles. I honestly never thought I'd see the day I would run for 3 miles without stopping. It's amazing how quickly you can make a difference to your fitness with a bit of effort (especially if you were as unfit as me I'm guessing). I'm off to Donegal on Saturday for a week and my husband (and drill sergeant it seems lol) has informed me we will be going running each morning. I wonder will it be much more difficult running outside?
Anyway...thank you again and if I ever get anything sorted with the weights I'll probably need more advice :rolleyes:

MBC,
As MrsGH said above, running in Donegal will be good for you, what with all the fresh air and new surroundings. Plus running outdoors is much better than running on treadmills. I would suggest that you try running on beaches a few times if you can. Make sure it's near the water line where the sand is compacted and not further up the beach or you will be busted after 5 mins
Get the Chariots of Fire theme on your ipod for maximum effect too
Also, when running at home make sure your treadmill is set to a 1 - 2 degree incline to simulate the resistance of running outdoors.
Keep up the good work 0 -

Mornin' JVB
At the risk of boring you rigid with this :eek:, will you please help me with something...as well as really wanting to get fit my main motivation for starting running was to lose weight. I have now been running (walking at first) for approx 30 mins everyday for the past 10 days, and the past 3 days I have been running 3 miles and feeling so much fitter already. I've been really pleased with myself but when I stepped on the scales this morning I weighed exactly the same as I did before I started - not even a pound off :mad::mad::mad:. Now I wasn't expecting miracles but thought even 2lb loss would have been expected.
I haven't upped my calorie intake at all, if anything I have been eating healthier and less though conscious not to be eating too little (as I think I may have been for the first few days). Can you tell me if it just takes a while before weight loss kicks in or do I need to make other changes? Feeling very demotivated today 0 -

Again as MrsGH said (darn you! lol) don't fixate on the scales or you will loose motivation quickly. How do you feel because your fitness has improved and as MrsGH alluded to (again :rolleyes:) muscles weigh more than fat - not saying you're fat my dear :eek: we all carry fat. So you could be toning muscles whilst losing fat. Plus I remember that you said in an earlier post that you walk miles each day with the kids; well this has probably given you a base fitness that you weren't even aware of. In most early cases of a weight loss programme the initial loss is from water retention, but if you were already fairly active (walking) then yours won't be so 'obvious' at first.
Just keep up the training, eat well and you'll improve. Don't expect overnight results and stay off the scales for a while
