Did this last year via bookface and lost almost 3 inches off my waist. Didn't keep it going though  and back to square 1 so doing it again this year 
Basically you do a plank every day for 28 days starting with 20 seconds and increase your time each day. You measure your waist at the start, weekly and at the finish. Its not a weight loss tool, just a way of toning up your core muscles

Last year was suggested increase 5 seconds a day, this year she is saying 4 but whatever you feel comfortable with really. Can always repeat a day if you need to |

I lost almost 3 stone on SW and never starved. You still eat normal food, just prepare it from scratch yourself so none of the fat and sugars in processed stuff |

Cut out processed foods, then try and keep 3/4 of your calories plant based.
Without going in depth that is the best thing you can do. |

Lost 3.5 stone last year over 6 months and did it by cutting out fizzy drinks even diet ones, crisps, biscuits, microwave meals basically all the crap.
Did calorie counting and looked at 1800 and targeted losing 1-2 lbs per week. Achieved it joined a gym in August to get toned.
More importantly the weight has stayed off.
It is small lifestyle changes which are successful in the long run. |

I know the woman who does the planking challenge (not in any Fab way though!).
Used to go to kickboxing classes that she did years ago and occasionally go to an outdoor exercise group that she runs. She’s pretty inspiring |

Thanks for that. The information is out there on the NHS website and easy to download. It is bona fide and with no hidden agenda like making money from you.
Best regards to everyone getting healthy at this time of year. |

It’s a new plan I’ve been following, and it’s been working wonders, it sculpts the body as you lose weight, but my loss has been faster than anticipated, so need to tone stomach area a lot more. |

"Did this last year via bookface and lost almost 3 inches off my waist. Didn't keep it going though and back to square 1 so doing it again this year
Basically you do a plank every day for 28 days starting with 20 seconds and increase your time each day. You measure your waist at the start, weekly and at the finish. Its not a weight loss tool, just a way of toning up your core muscles
Can send details of the fb page if anyone wants to join me "
Sounds like a great challenge.

I would recommend some basic yoga stretchs. Its very important to warm your muscles up before doing exersise. Greatly reduces the risk of muscle damage and other injury. There are plenty of videos on youtube. Theres a lady called Adriene who does loads of short classes from beginer thru to more advanced, plus she quite hot too. |

It's more to do with sticking to a healthy eating plan rather a diet, go for something you can maintain, consistency is the key, cardio at the gym is good but don't kill yourself doing it, out of breath but can still string a sentence together is a good starting point. |

Start off with cutting g out all the crap.
Sugary sweets and snacks.
3 meals a day and plenty of water.
That will kickstarter your plan with some exercise. |

Great way to start. Drink as much water as you can. It helps you feel full and cleanses all the toxins from your body. Dont go crazy with the exersise to begin with, ease yourself into it. Do something you will enjoy and set yourself targets to reach. Make it enjoyable.... |

Dont expect to be super flexible after a few goes. That takes a long time to achieve. Ive been doing it for a few years on and off and I am still not that flexible. What it does is helps with blood flow around your body. And learn to breathe properly. |

It's tough and you need to focus the mind as well.Pilates isn't easier but there is less focus on the mind. But none are easy as it looks. I just managed the downward dog. |

There is a lot of spiritual thinking about yoga. I think people kid on they are better people for doing it. Maybe so, it is very relaxing. Some nice background music helps. If doing it in the house, make sure the room is pretty warm. It helps with the muscles. You just need to keep at it. There are about ten moves that will get you a started and you can add more once you are comfortable with them...... |

Not much need for a link really. Basically start with doing the plank position (easy google if needed but ignore the wooden ones ) then increase the time by x seconds every day (5 is a good start but you may be able to manage more).
50 secs done today and actually not quite as shaky (must be the Xmas alcohol getting burned off finally!) |

Need to tone and fight the flabby bits, eat healthy normally but have been lazy past month driving everywhere I stead of walking so da booty needs tightening and the bingo wings lol.
Hope everyone reaches their goals. Remember everything in moderation, food, exercise and alcohol
