Out of hospital thankfully and can now stand so going to attempt to get on the scales tomorrow - yep, dreading it as I know I'll have put weight on but wonder how much! just as long as I am lower than my original weight, I'll be happy! Exercises are going to be light but regular which should help!

well I didnt have a great week last week - had a few social occasions, and I also took part in a 'raise awareness of homelessness' event on friday night which involved sleeping (or not at all in my case) in a car park which fronted on to the sea and motorway! cold and noisey! got lots of exercise but also ate lots of carbs…

i waiting for clearance from my doc to do aqua work - i have a doulbe condition; degenerative disc disease which weakens the spine but i also suffer from prolapsed discs, so they pop in and out when they feel like it. due to the both of these i have to be careful a disc doesnt pop out and i dont realise - when sat down i…

well, waiting for 4th weigh on Monday - really want to be below the 21 stone mark so i have to have lost 2.5lbs this week, fingers crossed! food has been easy but then again ive not made any huge changes apart form calorie counting and portions sizes; february is the start of introducing the foods i dont normally eat so…

thanks for the replies and support guys - really appreciated! I'm helping a friend with their weight loss too so got on the scales today with her - finally below the 300lb mark! only just but it counts! only 5lb more and I'm below 21 stone for the first time in months! I'm working out a water exercise plan to start in…

well, weigh in this morning and lost 3lb last week with very little exercise really so I'm pleased. Trying to keep my head clear that anything over 1lb is a good loss as I normally lose interest if dont lose loads - watched the first episode of Biggest Loser and so wanted to there to see if I could lose a stone in a week!…

Hi Mark, I think I would be better with more practise - the pain can be very minimal for months but then render me having to work from home and in the same place all day! I do find the bottom of my back kills after a short time walking but accept that is probably down to lack of doing it! I'm going to go for a short walk…

Hi Guys - thank you very much for the replies. I will try the pool - I used to swim competitively so really enjoyed it but due to my size I havent felt really comfortable! However, if it is going to be the easiest way of exercising I'll give it a go! I'll also try that method of dealing with falling off the band wagon -…

I've started today and in totally the same situation! I have led a very sedantry lifestyle and currently just under 22 stone so need to do something! what are the best exercises to do? i have a back condition that means I have a weak spine and tend to have discs popping in and out but know my weight will not be helping it…
