If your immediate goals for you both are toning and weight loss respectively, then I would focus more on cardio stuff, a bike, rowing machine maybe. Not too much money, as someone said, check Craiglist or similar to see what others don't want, and get a programme together between you, with some targets to meet, not too…

And - there are no lists or rules about who has to do what at home either, so I don't expect anything to be done be either of us, it's just chores that are needed to keep the house in shape etc. Anyway, I'm trying to lose weight and get fit and will do this without any encouragement from home.

For the sake of balance and fairness, she gets up when I go to work, and will spend the day mostly going over to our holding, checking the cattle have what they need, filling up water and food for ducks and chickens, letting our 5 dogs run about a while. Then off to either a toddler group, friends house, swimming, sisters…

Hey Phill - thanks! That's where I've gone wrong a lot before I guess, got bored along the way and then the next thing I see is a spare chin - who needs spare chins?

Get on here when your confidence dips, and I'm sure there are enough of us here to get you back up again.... We don't even need the where and why, just let us know you need a little lift, and you'll find it here.

Hi - I just said she wasn't supportive, not that I need her to come running out and hug me for each pound I lose. I have incorporated my son into the healthier lifestyle and I spend plenty of time with him when I'm home, I try to chose hotels with a gym so I can work out while I'm away - and I am moving my butt - thanks…

Wow! You sound like an inspiration to a lot of people! Welcome!

Thank you - it is very much for me, so that I can be here for my little man, to feel good about myself, how I look, feel etc. Losing your hair is bad enough, but when your face looks like a partially deflated ball, yeah - that's time to change :)

What are your goals? You could have all the gym kit in the world, but whether it's what you want or need is another thing entirely. Agree what you want to achieve, look at the muscle groups you're likely to use and then you can make a better decision on the kit to buy. If you already have a bike, you can get a stand for it…

Ah, so that's why I couldn't go to the gym this morning - you were in my shoes :)......

Hi Sarah - running isn't for me, but will look at a lot of other alternatives. And the little guy prefers to walk, so I get some reasonable exercise picking up 20kgs of wriggling person and depositing him on my shoulders, or holding him on my hip, or chucking him in the air. Tried to talk a load, but just doesn't get…

Preoccupation seems to be more Facebook related - as it's me that does the housework when I get home and at the weekends. And Mike - STOP SLACKING!!! :) Thanks for the welcome, and I've looked at getting the wee man on the bike, but it's just too dangerous on narrow lanes with nutters in Range Rovers too busy with texts to…
