Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

I joined the Rosemary Conley diet and fitness club in January of this year as a new years resolution to lose weight. Well, i'm still a member, have so far lost 29lbs (2stone 1lb) and am loving every minute of it. Ok, so it hasn't been easy by any means especially if you are a fatty food fanatic like me, but I have to say, this diet or "change of lifestyle" should I say, has been the most effective and enjoyable I have tried...and believe me, i've ...
...includes a motivational CD of Rosemary conley, which is really good to listen to when you are in the car or washing up etc. you also get a food diary or the bible as I call it which is a little black book of loads of foods with less than 5% fat that you are allowed. After your first 2weeks on the kick start diet, I lost nearly 1/2 a stone in these 2 weeks, you are given a calorie allowance by your class instructor which is calculated especially for ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...tow, I joined our local Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Class. I must admit that it took a lot of courage for me to go there as I have been to many slimming clubs in the past, but found them full of ultra slim stick insects that looked down at you. But kicking and screaming I went in the door and was met by the very friendly instructor, Maggie. She immediately took us under her wing and told us that we had already done the hardest part, now was ...
...pack, which included a free Rosemary Conley diet magazine, a pack of recipe cards and a really handy pocket-sized calorie and fat converter book. I take this everywhere with me and it is really helpful as it lists almost every food and gives you the amount of calories and fat in a 100g serving. As well as these there is a self-help tape particularly useful for those times when you feel like giving in. Rosemary’s soothing words encourage you to carry ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...not have done it without Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness clubs. I have been gradually gaining weight for about ten years. At a size 18-20 on my lower half I was a bit depressed at my appearance. I have tried to diet by myself but I always chuck it in after one too many packets of crisps that have tempted me. I had thought about slimming clubs in the past to motivate myself but I was not sure I wanted to spend £5 a week on being weighed and lectured. ...
...main difference between Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness clubs and other slimming clubs is the emphasis on fitness. I think others would recommend exercise but this one goes further and you get a 45 minute aerobics workout at every meeting. Each meeting costs £4.95 and consists of a weigh in, a talk from the group leader and then the exercise part. I do not mind paying this as an aerobics class at my local leisure centre costs £3.60 so this is comparable. ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...not lose anything. With th Rosemary Conley clubs, you couldn't be further from the truth. I started going to a local class in September 2000 as I decided if I was going to lose that last stone or so of post pregnancy flab, i needed to go somewhere where I would be weighed weekly in front of other people - a bit of an incentive for me. At my first visit, the instructor, Tracey, got me to fill out a form telling her of any medical conditions I may ...
...me and explained how things worked, explained the eating plan and gave me the starter pack which icluded a small booklet with a few ideas of what to eat during the day (very handy hen you're not sure what to eat for breakfast!). She then asked me how much weight I wanted to lose - it made me feel better that the choice was mine and I wasn't told how heavy I should be. If or when I get down to the weight I have chosen, if I want to change the goalposts ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...suggested i join her at Rosemary Conley two things went immediately throught my mind.... 1. I don't know whether i fancy sweating/panting/dying in front of other people. 2. What do i wear? As someone who always wears a skirt, the thought of wear 'lycra' in public was humiliating. But...i eventually buckled and went along to my first class. (Wearing the scruffiest, oldest and only pair of trousers i owned) Of the three different locations i have ...
...has ever done any of Rosemary Conley videos then you are definately going to be able to keep up. The class generally includes a warm up (5 mins)--> stretch (3-5 mins)--> cardio/aerobic activity (approx 30 mins)--> 5 mins cooldown --> floor exercises or stretching (5-10 mins). These are approximations as the classes vary according to time, size and intensity. I'm 36yrs old but would recommend RC to people of all ages. In the classes i have been too, ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...afternoon I stumbled across the Rosemary Conely website and was impressed by the fact her classes include an exercise session for the around the same price as the other slimming clubs. So off I toddled one Thursday evening to my local class. The welcome I had was great, I was taken off to a quiet area of the room and had the diet (I say diet more like a health eating plan) explained to me and was also given a starter pack that included a detailed ...
...that are organised and the Rosemary Conely magazine bimonthly included for this price. Once I meet my target I will continue to go as I have made some great friends - including the photographer for my wedding. Joining Rosemary Conely's class was the best thing I could have done to prepare for my wedding as I have more confidence and look so much better. ...

...signed up for the nearest Rosemary Conley class. I was dreading it. I had the images from a hundred comedy sketches in my head, and was convinced that public humiliation was the name of the game. Also I felt that I was well aware of what I should be doing and wasn't sure whether I could cope with having someone else tell, or worse lecture me. But I couldn't have been more wrong. My first class began with a short, private discussion and my measurements ...
...on my calorie allowance, daily requirements to include fruit and dairy and even treats. I wasn't entirely happy at this point - we didn't get Rosemary's book of useful calories and fat content until week 2 - but at least it all seemed pretty straightforward. Tracey, the leader, gave a ten-minute chat on useful calorie/fat saving recipes and a few motivational ideas followed by a Q&A session (apparently food you eat standing up DOES count). There ...

...food problems. We chose Rosemary Conley's club because it was closest to where we live. Interestingly it is not billed as a 'Slimming Club' as such, but is held under the banner of a Diet and Fitness Class. In some ways this is a true reflection of what goes on there. Much to my relief the class was friendly and I was immediately put at ease by the presence of people of all sizes. The first thing each class is the weigh-in... it's nice and discreet. ...
...the aerobics class. Just before the aerobics class there is a 5 minute talk and people's weight loss for that week is read out. The Slimmer of the Week is annouced and gets a certificate. I didn't do the aerobics class, but I stayed and watched. My mum did it and throughly enjoyed it. It is aimed at people of all fitness levels and is fun and helps to burn that fat. We also bought a video and I did that as a workout at home. The actual eating plan ...

...I noticed a video by Rosemary Conley - Flat Stomach Plan. I ended up buying it and I am very pleased that I did. The workout is split up into three twenty minute sections which you can combine or do individually depending on your own level of fitness. Section A: Body Toning B: Aerobic Workout - Level One C: Aerobic Workout - Level Two I like to do all three sections as it is a really good workout and you do actually feel better afterwards! ...
...to know which seems to make the workout go a bit quicker! I'd recommend this video to anyone who wants to start exercising a bit more and take it at there own pace. It's a great video and at only £12.99 it's well worth it! Go on give it a go!! ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

This club has an emphasis on a low fat diet with exercise to help you lose weight and get fitter. I was a bit nervous about going along the first time but the atmosphere is very friendly and there were people of all ages and sizes. When you join up, you receive a pack with some recipes and diet information which is expanded over the first few weeks with cards on new recipes and fitness ideas. The weighing-in happens privately and there is no pressure ...
...put it on. There is also a talk each week about aspects of diet or fitness and people are encouraged to tell others about low-fat food they’ve found in the supermarkets. The exercise part is also good with the instructor demonstrating how to perform the routines at different levels. She was well qualified and there is a warm-up and stretching part before the main aerobics session. You are encourage to do as much as you can and not to stress out if ...

...past. I looked over the Rosemary Conley diet, however, and saw no particular danger to health or of gaining the weight back quickly. After 7 weeks my wife lost a stone, and she lost it slowly enough for it to be permanant. Christmas was the real test. We went back to my parents for a week and a half and generally ate what we wanted, and when we got back home my wife hadn't gained anything. On some of the other diets a return to normal eating triggers ...
...best thing about the diet is that she does not appear to be suffering. She is not ever really hungry, and she gets a treat, like a chocolate bar, every day. She feels great and looks great. This has easily been her most successful diet, and she's been happiest on it as well. ...

Review of Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs

...1997 I found a local Rosemary Conley fitness club. The diet is FAB! It is a pure education which continues for life. It works on fat content in foodstuffs and works as a percentage per 100. This information is on every possible product you buy so you cant go wrong. The diet states that you are allowd 40g of fat a day to lose weight. My success is that I weighed just short of 13 stone and lost 3 1/2 stone in about a year. This diet is not one to get ...

...all training by the guru Rosemary Conley herself - you can't get much better than this. Value for money is great - you get weigh in, personal advice, a 10min motivational talk AND A 45 MINUTE EXERCISE session - all for the same price as other slimming clubs! The exercise is very good - it is structured and everyone can do it - every level is catered for. I've made loads of good friends and really think that i will keep going even when i hit my ...

Congratulations to Rosemary Conley, I decided I needed some help after the birth of my first son, having ballooned in weight from 8 stone to nearly 13 stone, obviously after I had my son I lost a stone, but I was still very unhappy allthough it was completly my fault for over eating during pregnancy. I registered with my local Rosemary Conley group as they seemed to be the only group in the area that offered an aerobic class with the weighing and ...
...our tutor very encouraging and supportive, she gave good advise to us every week and she held an excellent aerobic session and worked us quite hard, obviously you could take your own pace. The diet itself was very easy to follow, and was very well presented in a booklet everyone gets when they join, you have to pay an annual membership each year, but it is well worth it. I managed to lose 2 stone in 5 months, I gave up when I fell pregnant with my ...
