This!! I love the Pilates for Life DVD - I only started doing it a couple of weeks ago but can already see that I'm getting better at it. I agree that classes are best to get proper form etc, but if you can't afford them this is definitely a good second best.

So next time I go to hospital (12 weeks) I want my spleen to be poke-able :D Also I'm bored of being the fat one in…

Sounds like you had a rough time of it, sorry to hear that. I at least managed most of my twenties cancer-free (got diagnosed at 29) so that's something! It's very reassuring to hear that you managed to exercise - I think a lot of my problem is just a mental block as I'm nervous about trying then failing. I keep wanting to…

Thank you! I'm new to the forum (although I've used MFP on and off for years to count calories) and I'm not really sure what I'm doing, so I'm very grateful for your help! Doubt I'm the only one here with cancer but I might be the only one stupid enough to want to exercise with it :wink:
