    Mbanks123 basically it's 15 mins walk there and same back to school and In September I was mostly walking to pick up but told daughter today we going to start walking all time. So that will be the 2 sets of 30 mins walks with 6 hour break . I totally don't object to that at all and on the way back from school we get to go park too.

    Great lifestyle change!

    While it's entirely possible to lose weight without exercise, being inactive is unhealthy. Use it or lose it!

    I have so far lost 33 pounds and I just started walking last week and only because I want to be able to eat more. It does feel good though. I think I have the opposite problem as you, I live in Florida in the US and it is so hot even now that I don't know what I am going to do in a few weeks when it gets too hot to be outside for any period of time.

    Hey I'm In FL as well, Soo Hot cant function!!

    Sure you can but you can eat more food if you exercise. Also the more you lose the harder and harder it becomes to keep losing weight as the heavier you are the more calories you burn. I noticed i started to lose weight alot faster once I started walking too.

    Could you maybe do a low impact aerobic workout inside instead? You can find exercise dvds online, buy one second hand on ebay or maybe borrow one from the library. Also there are exercise videos on YouTube and elsewhere online

    Maybe you could start by dancing in home? I do that sometimes, stick my headphones on and just dance around my kitchen. Makes you feel good too :)

    Where are you in the UK that the weather's been so bad? We've had a very mild winter here (Scotland). I've been out a lot. Sure there's been a bit of rain, sleet etc but less than usual overall. Get a decent raincoat and a pair of waterproof trousers, wellies and hat/scarf/gloves and you're set for anything.

    Of course you don't need exercise to lose weight, but as you get lighter you may find your calories get uncomfortably low, and exercise may help. Plus it's so good to get some daylight and air at this time of year, I find it really lifts my mood.
