  • 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…

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…
