anyone else out there who can't really excercise but knows of seated exercises? Love Diet Chef and managed to lose a stone in 8 weeks.

    I use a wheelchair when I am out and about. I have managed to lose 1st 11lbs since November. The doctor told me to move arms about as often as possible in a day as that's a form of exercise. There are also stretches you can do in a wheelchair. Hope this helps!

    Thank you Sweepypie - I could do that whilst watching TV. I can swim but trying to lose another stone before I'll venture out in a swimming g costume.

    I used to go swimming but got too self conscious of everyone looking at me so I stopped going. I go up one flight of stairs and my joints complain. Hope moving your arms about helps! We are going to Lanzarote in June. Don't think I will be in the pool or sea!
