exercise bike or new clothes help?

60 pounds?!?! Omg good for you!!!!! And with knee problems too?! That's amazing! And here I am wining and crying about trying to lose 10 pounds lol!! How often did you exercise??

You're not whining or crying!  Everyone has different goals when it comes to things like this.

I started out exercising about three days a week for half an hour and now I do five days a week for half an hour (if you include warm ups/cool downs).  When I'm not doing a set programme like the Shred, I like to alternate strength training days with cardio, so week 1 I would do yoga meltdown - bike - yoga meltdown, week 2 would be bike - yoga meltdown - bike, so on and so forth.

It's taken a long time to get to the point I'm at now, and I'd say success is down to 80% food, 20% exercise.  As my husband is fond of saying, you can't outrun a bad diet.  I also have learned to keep in mind that the number on the scale is not the be-all and end-all of everything.  It just measures weight.  Not fat, weight, including the weight of your muscles, bones, organs, water retention, even what food you've eaten that day.  The same way a calorie isn't a unit of fat, it's a unit of energy, that's all.  Scales and calories get a bad rap, but scales can be irrelevant and the only calories that deserve a bad rap are empty ones.  Nutritionally dense calories are very important to health!

I am wondering what Yoga meltdown is like. I have seen Namaste on tv ages ago and I loved the way that made me feel balanced yet it was "relaxing". TY too.

Yoga with a Jillian twist.  I feel relaxed yet energised after, and you work hard enough to build up a sweat.  You move in and out of each post about 10-15 times, then you hold the pose for 30 seconds, and there are three circuits.  So it's a bit like power yoga crossed with circuit training.
