I have gained 10kg this winter and are going diving in 1 month. My wetsuit doesnt fit. I really need to loose weight.

I love this, I just wish you guys had a "print" option for some of your articles, like the article and then "Women's Health" in the bottom corner or something.
I prefer printing things out and sticking them on my door or whatever so that I can see them. It would be nice if one didnt have to copy + paste... otherwise I'd have to print out the entire web page, just a suggestion. :)

I don't understand the timing. Do you do, e.g. 20 mins cardio and 20mins strength training on day one?

I see a lot of "print option" requests for the workouts. Are you working on this? It would help us readers a lot.
Thanks
