Hello Guys
As the High BMI part of the site begins to develop and gain momentum, I wanted to provide you with an area where you could chat to each other and me about your progress.
This is not private but actually, in terms of what we want to achieve, sharing our information, problems, queries is a great way of bring to light issues which are so unique to each individual and yet can so help others.
The High BMI series sets out to help those with a large amount of body fat to lose weight and get the health back into a normal, safe range.
We hope it sets into place some basic patterns and routines and explains how to chart your progress and partake in simple classes designed for your comfort and enjoyment.
We don’t always get it write, so help us with your feed back, what works, what doesn’t, what inspires, what’s difficult.
We do care, so please let us help you.......Lucy Case, Fitness Director, ThinQ Fitness
Hi Caroline
I can see that the mixed messages are frustrating for you. Firstly, remember it is a combination of exercise and diet that will work. Evidence shows that diet is the most important of all in achieving body fat loss on longer journeys BECAUSE, if you ate the wrong foods and exercised although you would be fitter, you would not reduce your calories sufficiently to lose body fat.
However, exercise is also crucial because it burns calories and keeps the body burning calories long after the session has stopped. However, on a long weight loss journey it is essential to do cardio and weights in equal measures to burn calories and build up useful calorie burning muscle mass. In a way, abs on their own won't give you the tummy you require because you need to burn calories and eat less calories, however, as you lose the weight ab exercises are great for toning that area of the body.
I hope this helps.

Hi Lucy!
How are you and hope that you are well. I've had a look at your latest 'talks' to us all and I was very much able to relate to all the words you said.(gonna re listen to them as there was a lot to digest and ponder on so I'll do that in a separate email) Very encouraging.
The reason for this morning's mail is that I really need your help. It's about my belly size and mixed messages I have gotten. I'm 5'7", weight 14 stone 3 lb and a waist circumference of 43". I get very bloated too but the start of using herbs for that is under way.
Now the mixed messages I have received is that there is no point doing Abs work as it will make no difference to helping reduce my belly size and that info is devastating beyond words. Lucy what's the truth? Please shed some light on this for me.
I really look forward to hearing from you when you have a minute.
Caroline
