Sounds like an excuse i know...........

well, what I would suggest might be time consuming but I'd start logging here at mfp...planning meals and sticking as closely as possible to it might help... and then I'd buy a heart rate monitor and start tracking the little things... walks to and from bus might be able to be extended and even a different route might help. ( I found that if I walk around my neighborhood going UP first instead of down, I burn about 40 less calories per trip... strange but little things...) good luck

I lost my first 10kg (22 pounds or so) without exercising at all!! People may say that you will become 'skinny fat' but in my opinion that is better than fat fat :happy: Also it sounds as though you are burning calories by living a very busy life. Once you lose a bit of weight you may find that you feel like doing some extra exercise (I did plus I like being able to eat a bit more).

Being skinny fat is not better than fat fat.

Well, I disagree, but that is the way of the world!! :flowerforyou:

how about skip to school on the school run? get the kids to scoot so you can jog to school- that would be enough higher bits of activity to kickstart because as you say you are already busy. You have my full understanding- i'm bits of you and your partner. Sorry that sounds odd and makes me sound like a fruitcake but what i wanted to say is that i have long term health conditions which mean that the bulk of things fall to my partner whilst i try to do what i can. If he's away then it all falls to me, so i end up having to be very careful so that i can still feed the boys in the evening, get them to clubs etc.

I usually run behing my littlest on her bike as she has a problem with her eyes that affects her balance so i have to steady her most of the way. the walk to school is a about 1 m ile awayand it takes me with the kids 20 minutes and on my own 10 minutes.
Tomorrow i have volunteered to go on a school trip to a wildlife park that s all outdoors walking etc

Is your health and life not worth 10 minutes out of 24 hours in a day? Come on. I work full time and have 3 boys. I still find time. Just get up and do it.
