Lea - Yeh I know that RPM scares a few people but it really is a good class to do!! They say if you go to your full potential you will burn 700 calories in the 45 mins. I normally say to people to just give it a few goes and see how you go, you could surprise yourself!

Hey Tyige!! I lost about 20kg in 5 months ( I was told to stop or I wouldnt fit in my wedding dress!), but I guess 8 of that was lost within 2 weeks after I birthed my daugther. I did that by totally changing my diet and also going to the gym about 7 times a week, plus I went for walks with my dogs. Some people think that that was really extreme but it worked for me and I felt so good while I was doing it. So you have just got to work out what is best for you. If you do have the time (I see you have two kids) and there is a fitness center near you, maybe give it a go. Another thing I did was cut out about half of my carbs intake a day, I have most my carbs for dinner. Some people say not to have carbs at dinner but I didnt know what to cook that didnt have carbs, but I do go to classes most evenings after dinner. But I think the main thing is, if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything!

I dont know if anyone is interested, but I got this thing off my friend a few months ago, I've never tried it but its meant to work! Its called '8 minutes in the Morning to Lean Hips and Thin Thighs'. It says that if you follow it, you can lose up to 4 inches in 4 weeks and its all stuff that you can do at home. If any one is interested, I could scan all the cards in and email it through to you? I havent done it, I started but gave up quickly but this was when my DD was only a few weeks old, but my friend did it for a little while and she said she could see some difference!

I've been for my walk and run this morning already and about to hit the gym! LOL I think everyone on here will soon realise that I dont stop for a minute, thats what my Baby Buddies think!
