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…

Hi i'm a mum of 2, bit older than you but still with the issues of my kids come first, so fitting in exercise can be a bit of a juggle. Would love to have some more buddies- it really helps. xxx

hello hello would love to be friends especially with anyone who has fibro/spd/chronic pain or knows someone with it. sometimes the observer's view is really helpful as i find i can get terribly blinkered

hi- i know hwat you mean about the shy about adding.... once people know me i'm fine but i can be a little reserved until then. am really inspired you have kept the weight off- that's helping me to keep my motivation at the top. hungry tired and snow= raid the cupboards. however we had a family drink and biscuit as a…

I'm trying not to snack and if i do i'm on teh fruit veg stuff. i'm drinknig water like it's going out of fashion and it is helping me to stay full. I'm really excited about…
