  • I am only here for another four weeks,we are in middle of nowhere so no point in going out, there is a mall a few miles away but its not very good x i have a really good quality cross trainer at home and weights do will be ok then x there is an ok gym here hut i am the only female here with 120 males so its not always easy…
  • Thank you for your advice, it makes sense now, will definitely use it,and will look at the sites you recommended.

  • Thanks, that's what my husband and son keeps saying,but exercising less and eating more seems wrong,but my new week starts tomorrow so i will give it a try for a week. Hope it works. I am away at the moment so finding it easy to exercise but will really struggle when home so it makes sense to try. I keep my diary private…
