Hi

I joined here at the weekend, but after weighing in at my heaviest ever last night, I have decided I need a kick up the bum and actually join in. I think I'm finally realising that joining up to weight loss programmes won't actually get my weight off - I need to watch what I eat, too.

So, here I am. Hello everyone :-)

    Hello there :)

    I'm kind of new; I've been here since Monday :P
    I have a problem with not exercising, I mean I could only last about 3 minutes of running---I know so pathetic. And I can barely do a push up :/

    I need to get more active :P


    Good luck with your weight loss!

    And don't forget EXERCISE - woohoo!
    You'll be amazed how much better you'll feel after a work out!
    Jillian Michales DVD's - cheap - Walmart or amazon.com - $10 each.
    2-3 lb hand weights, and mat.
    You're good to go!
    They are awesome!
    This site is a great tool - but you have to use the tool, like you said!

    Thanks everyone.

    I am trying to exercise - we (as a family) have recently discovered the joys of cycling. Unfortunately we can't get out everyday as my husband works silly shifts and we have 2 young children, but try to go out 3 or 4 times each week. We've worked up to 10 miles each trip, which I think is pretty good going for us.

    I am going to try and walk a lot more, too.
